This Week's Question:
You are a matchmaker — your goal, hook up two characters from two of your favorite books. Who would it be? How do you think it would go?
Answer:
WHOAH! Could my first Feature & Follow question be any harder? I literally have been trying to come up with answer for the last half-hour. After not being able to come up with one by sitting in front of my laptop I finally had to sit in front of my bookshelf to get some inspiration or ideas.

Most of my favorite characters are already paired up really well and I wouldn't want to mess those relationships up. Then I saw my J.R Ward Black Dagger Brotherhood collection and Butch's book, Lover Revealed, caught my eye. As soon as Butch started to bond with the Brothers and not want to kill or arrest my man Wrath, I knew that I would end up liking the Caldwell cop with a Boston accent. I wasn't too enthusiastic over the female vampire he was paired up with so if I could play matchmaker for a day I would want to hook him up with Betsy Taylor from Mary Janice Davidson's Undead series. Why Betsy? Because like Butch, Betsy has an affinity for the finer things in life, especially designer shoes. Jimmy Choo, Prada, Ferragamo, Minolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin -- she loves them all. Ever since Butch started rolling with the Brotherhood, he instantly took a liking to wearing designer duds and shoes.

These two characters are such a hoot that I would just love to see them walking around the Mall of America shopping for outfits talking in their Bostonian and Minnesotan accents. And since they're both new to the whole "Vampire" life, I think watching them adjust would be entertaining.

    1. I know. The last book was MEH for me as well. I know a new book is coming out later this month but I won't be running to the book store to grab a copy. I'm hoping that if the series continues that Betsy will mature a little more but stay humorous.

      Thanks for stopping by!

    1. Michelle you would love Betsy. She kinda reminds me of Alexa from Parasol Protectorate but just not as smart, mature or articulate. HAHAHA! Ok….so maybe they're not really similar but she's a hoot and you'll howl at her shenanigans.

    1. I don't understand how Butch ended up with her. He's so charismatic and she's so plain and boring like white bread.

  7. I'm a shy guy so I would be loathe to match make any characters lest they come to visit me angrily! I mean how have most of your blind dates turned out? I truly am in awe of your new header: great job, Roland

    1. Obviously, Marissa isn't very popular with BDB fans. LOL! Butch deserves someone as funny as exciting as him. Thanks for stopping by and I'm a new follower to your blog :D

  9. I just started the BDB series Book #1 literally and haven't read the other series... but they both sound great! Love the new design!

    1. Thanks Lauren! I liked your answer. I liked how you paired two annoying people together. Maybe being around each other will show them how bad they are or just die from annoyance :D

  11. I agree, I had a hard time, I think if characters are memorable, they are already paired well.
