My Book Boyfriend (4): Rand Balfour

Yikes! Brits are taking over my blog… well at least in the Book Boyfriend Department, not that I’m complaining.

Meet Rand Balfour, the most swoon worthy warlock you will ever set your eyes on. And while he is quite charming, he isn’t one to use magic on you to make you fall head over swoon for him. Instead, he manages to bewitch you with his sexy stubbornness. Crazy, right?

Jolie’s descriptions of Rand:

Rand leaned down into my line of sight, his pitch black tee shirt contrasting against his tan complexion. I wanted to smile but I wasn’t sure if I could. None of that mattered anyway; what did matter was Rand’s stunning face smiling down at me—the aquiline features of a Roman nose, chiseled cheek bones, deep dimples and a strong and well-sculpted chin. Eyes the color of molten chocolate and hair a matching shade. Although his hair was mussed and dark circles decorated his eyes, he was male beauty personified.

Did I mention Rand is English and therefore has that wonderful and melodious British accent? Granted, Rand is insanely hot but I think the accent makes him even hotter. But, as it was, I had bigger things to think about than Rand’s hotness.

Scene that made me swoon:

“Rand, I never slept with Trent.” The words tumbled off my tongue. It was weird because the thought of Trent, my ex boyfriend (and werewolf), hadn’t even entered my mind until I’d blurted it out. Rand paused and there didn’t seem to be any emotion registered on his face. He picked at the seam of my coverlet before glancing down at me again.
“That doesn’t matter. Your recovery is what matters.”
But, it did matter. It suddenly mattered more than anything. I wanted, no needed him to understand that Trent had never meant anything to me. He was merely a pothole along the Interstate Rand.
“I wanted you to know because I’m sure that’s what you thought happened that night and I bet it really did look that way with him half naked in my house or had I been half naked? I can’t remember now.”
It was like I was waging a war with my mouth and it was winning. Words just came flying out and there wasn’t anything I could do to stop them.
“He was half naked, if I remember correctly,” Rand said, a smile toying with his lips.
“Is that what you thought?” I insisted. “I mean, that we, er Trent and I, had done it? Did you think we had? Cause it looked that way, didn’t it?”
Rand chuckled. “It had appeared that way, yes.”
“Were you bothered by it? I mean, did it bother you to think we’d been together?” It bothered me that I’d never cleared up this tidbit with him. Rand dropped his eyes again and seemed like he was attempting to memorize the pattern of the
hardwood floors.
“It caused me sleepless nights, yes.”

Rand is a seriously delicious warlock.  If you thought being a male nurse was hard, try being a male witch! It ain’t easy, especially since Rand has his hands full with trying to protect Jolie, but he is incredibly honorable and steadfast. His devotion and loyalty to Jolie is so sexy!
