Sidekick Showcase [44] Save me and I'll save you right back kind of love!

Sidekick Showcase, previously known as Sidekick Saturday, is a weekly bookish meme, hosted here 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! I will post my Sidekicks on Saturday, then whichever day during the week that you would like to post yours, you can put your link in on my page. 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 fit's in the week's topic

• Share a picture (if you can) 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

• The day of your post, put your link in below and grab the code for your post so you can see the others that post theirs throughout the week as well



Let's daydream about book boyfriends (and girlfriends) a bit. There is one character that has been on my mind since I first met him over a year ago when I read Easy by Tammara Webber. Lucas, oh what a hottie, steals your heart the second he's on the scene. The covers have him tatted out with piercings and a brooding look. My version can work with that just fine. Not every guy I crush on has to be ruggedly handsome, a few can be plain pretty. Lucas has a hero complex (and for a very good reason). He's also determined not to let his heart get in the way of dating. Good thing he can't control something like that or we'd only experience a small percentage of his awesomeness. Pretty soon, he won't be a side character because he's getting his own book. Yes!! Breakable comes out May 6th!

“He stuck the pencil over his ear, looking unconvinced. "Mmm. What position would you be the most comfortable for you?"

I couldn't say aloud the answers that popped into my head at that question, but the flush that spread across my face like wildfire gave me away. He caught his lower lip in his teeth, and I was sure it was to contain a laugh. Most comfortable position? What about with my head stuck under a pillow?”
― Tammara Webber, Easy

“His hands reached for me, gripping my hipbones and pulling me forward. he stared down at me, his voice low. "There are some things I will make time for, Jacqueline.”
― Tammara Webber, Easy

As usual, I asked my sidekicks for their picks. My  mom came up with Jenny from Forrest Gump. Now, I stuttered and stared for a minute, then reached past how pissed she made me most of the movie (I didn't read the book), and realized she was an amazing love for Forrest because he was an amazing love. So Jenny who lost her way all except for the one person who loved her no matter what is a great choice.

My sister's pick wasn't a surprise because we recently saw Vampire Academy in the theaters. Dimitri is amazing. In the books his scenes take your breath away. He's just that kind of character. There was a lot of saving back and forth between Rose and Dimitri. Don't you just want to bite him...hug him I mean. Kiss, I mean kiss him.

The Shadow Town blog tour is happening next week. Stop by for links to the awesome bloggers taking part. There's a giveaway. (I said the last part in a singsongy voice just so you know)
