Spare me this for a minute? (useless post)

So I'm reading this Nora Roberts novel (Captive Star) and I swear this Main Character (hero) keeps making me smile. Everytime he does or says something, and I keep thinking to myself I swear I feel like I know someone just like this in my real life. Well, guess who I just realized he reminds me of...MATT GIRAUD! Gosh no wonder I was so into this story (I read the whole thing in an afternoon).

Anyway this character (Cade Parris) is a PI. He's very laid back, easy going, knows exactly what he wants but isn't terribly aggressive (though no less effective in getting what he wants). Funny, too charming for his own good, sharp witted with a wry sense of humor (yeah I was too into this fictional character). Here is an excerpt from the book (it's the thoughts of the main female character):

Her pulse stuttered a bit. He was so outrageously gorgeous, standing there in the bright morning sun, rumpled, his dark hair thick and untidy, the dimples denting his cheeks and his mouth arrogantly curved. No woman alive could have stopped her mouth from watering...And she was certain he knew it.

*sigh* even when I try to give myself a break from Matt and all this craziness, something manages to draw me back in...
Moral of this post: I am crazy and need a life style change, and you all should definitely pick up this book...

Such a charming post,Lana. Lol,I can imagine you reading the book "the whole thing in an afternoon".
The great grey braincells made a perfect connection there,you are not to be aparted from Matt ever! But but,isn´t that a romantic novel? If so, you should change the genre if you really want a break. Read Scandinavian whodunits,they are really good. For real!!

LOL thanks guys!! I swear as soon as I sent this post I slapped myself in the forehead. Why? well because I was certain everyone would think that I have gone completely bananas! I should have known you ladies would understand

Anyways, I think you're right Cranberry, I may need to stay away from Ms. Roberts for a while, all this romanticism (real word I think) is getting to my head...

The "too charming for his own good" sounds good. Sounds like Matt!

Matt Giraud - too charming for his own good. It´s perfect for the siggy!

Cranberry when you posted about books and taking a matt brake I just felt the need to brag about a european author - a spanish one - Carlos Ruiz Zafon. He has written 2 of the best books I have ever read in my entire life. The first one is called The shadow of the Wind and the second Angel's Game. When I finished the first one I never thought I would want to read another book!!
The language is pure poetry absolutely beautifully written and the plot so entriguing - and off course I cried like a crazy woman and could not be dragged away from the books.
Off topic I know- but really you should look them up!!

Sorry, but I don't read Nora Roberts novels. However, I would read the novel if the main character were actually based on Matt! LOL

I think that they have made quite a few TV movies based on some of Nora Roberts' novels. And you know how Matt said he wanted to try acting in the future? Hey, what if they turned 'Captive Star' into a movie and cast Matt as the Cade Parris character? OMG, that would be the best!!
