Welcome, welcome to Day 10 of 25 Days of Book Boyfriends, hosted by Readers Live a Thousand Lives, Lovin' Los Libros, and Starbucks & Books Obsession.
Today we are highlighting the one, the only... *drum roll*
Kellen Kyle
from S.C. Stephens' Thoughtless series.
I first fell for Kellen back in the summer of 2012. His beautiful eyes and soulful music...he was this lost and broken young man, looking for love...someone to care. I recently became aware that S.C. Stephens is releasing Thoughtful, which is Thoughtless from Kellen's POV. I'm very eager to get into Kellen's head - to know exactly what he was thinking when he met Kiera. It releases February 25, 2015.
To honor Kellen, I, with some help from my daughter, composed an acrostic poem. I hope y'all like it.
Kellen is complex -- layered:
Eyes shining with soul,
Loyal to his friends.
Lilting songs speak,
Expressive and powerful and there is
No denying the myriad of emotions that lie underneath.
Kindness flows in abundance, though he was damaged in his
Youth. He is hopeful, but
Lost; determined, and
Entertaining. This rock star has no comparison.
A few of my favorite Kellen quotes:
"When I fell in love with you...it was like nothing I'd ever known before. It was nearly instant. I think I started falling for you, the moment you shook my hand."
"Did you...did you just get me to pour my heart out to you...so you could get me naked again?"
"I know what we have is intense. I know it's terrifying. I feel that too, believe me. But it's real, Kiera." His hand ghosted from his chest to min, and then back again. "This is real and it's deep, and it wouldn't have just...burned out. I'm done with meaningless encounters. You're everything I want. I'd never have strayed from you."
