**Sidekick Showcase #33 ~ Alpha Male**



Sidekick Showcase (previously known as Sidekick Saturday) is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by Jaclyn at JC's Book Haven. There are many secondary characters that are as great as the primaries. In some cases, the sidekicks actually steal the show and you like them better than the heroine or hero. Maybe they didn't have enough page time for how great they were. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Choose a sidekick *or someone other than the hero or heroine* that you would like to put in the spotlight that fits in this week's type

• Share a picture (if possible) and information about the character
• Give the title and author of a book the character can be found in
• Please don't include too many spoilers when describing why the character is such a great sidekick
• Put your link in the Linky thing and comment


**********************************
For this month of LOVE, our sidekicks will be of the romantic persuasion...or just plain HOT! Yep, that's right. I'm gonna share my book boyfriends this month. Enjoy it because I don't really like to share. *grins*

I have debated and debated and debated some more over which of my book boyfriends to share today. This was so hard - you have no idea. One thing I realized?



But I finally made a decision.

The last book boyfriend I'm sharing this month is
Gideon Cross
from Sylvia Day's Crossfire Series


Gideon Cross is the epitome of Alpha male. He's rich. He's H.O.T. He's ruthless and unapologetic when going after what he wants or protecting what's his. He also has this soft side. He's romantic. He makes grand gestures of love but he also makes smaller ones. He can dance...he can kiss... He makes me *swoon* :)

Here are a few reasons why I love Gideon:
(I take no credit for any of the images - I found them all using Google)

  2. I love the self-defense quote. I've only read the first book in this series...I shouldn't have told you that. Reading all the books doesn't mean you are more entitled to him. Nope. Great sidekick choice, Brandee! I hope you're having a fabulous weekend!

  4. I love the picture! Too cute. I totally agree. I have so many book boyfriends, it was definitely hard to choose. He seems like my type. Rich, hot, unapologetic, with a sweet side sounds like what I go for. Excellent choice! Thank you so much for sharing :D Have a great weekend, Brandee! Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven.

    1. I know there's no paranormal in it, Jaclyn...but you'd LOVE Gideon. However, if you want to meet another fantastic alpha male from Ms. Day, read her Renegade Angels series. It's incredible!

  5. I don't know Gideon yet, but he sounds like he could easily make me swoon as well. Great choice for today, Brandee :)

    I hope you've had an awesome weekend! BIG HUGS!!
