My Book Boyfriend (10)

My Book Boyfriend is a weekly meme hosted by Missie of The Unread Reader, in which we swoon over boys in books!
(I--as in me, Amy--don't like to use commercial photos, I like to use the authors' descriptions and my imagination.)



Shawn Gallagher
Book: Tears of the Moon by Nora Roberts
Series: Gallaghers of Ardmore Trilogy

A real Irishman with fine black hair that looks just a bit shabby, and quiet dreamy blue eyes--unless he was roused by something, and then they can fire hot and cold in equal measure. His full, firm mouth is meant for long kisses and soft words. A long, lanky body, wonderfully wide-palmed hands with fingers of an artist, a voice like whiskey warmed by a turf fire. A talented musician, with a romantic heart that could reduce any woman into a weak-kneed puddle. He is also a gifted chef and part owner of his family's pub.

Quotes:
