My Book Boyfriend #6

Sorry it's been so long since I've done this post guys! I just haven't found anyone worthy enough to be MBB, but I've found someone recently!

My Book Boyfriend is a weekly Meme, hosted by Missie at The Unread Reader I will be taking part in this Meme (hopefully) every Wednesday where I will lust over my literary crush, who I would love to be part of my life. If possible, I will include the lucky boy's stats and some quotes. I will definitely be including a picture of how I imagine he looks like and reasons why I love him.

Today's lucky boy (man!) is Captain Rhett Butler, from Gone With The Wind. He was my favourite character all the way through the book!

He first becomes known at a barbecue, and gives our Main Character (MC) a 'devilish stare and a grin of treachery' which just made my stomach just go a little bit quivery...
He has a bad reputation which follows his introduction in the novel as our MC Scarlett is given the gossip about the newcomer.

• He is gifted with suave and dashing looks
• His hair is short and jet black
• The mustache on his face curves with his sardonic smile
• His hazel brown eyes give a piercing look
• And his hands are both strong and steady (making it easy for him to become the best 'shot' in Atlanta)
• His lips are firm, but they are practiced in meeting against a woman's softer lips
• And his body far outstrips any other man's with his lean muscle and his skin is tanned and rough in the most weatherbeaten way

He mocks and taunts those he loves because he know's they are exactly the same as him, and that they will one day understand this, but also because he really isn't a gentleman and finds it amusing! He was a blockade runner during the Civil War, making money out of the nation being torn down and using it to his benefit in his attempts to win the love of our MC.

He is charming, but mocking at the same time, never serious but never joking and he is calm during a crisis except two that contain the two people he loved most in the world. He tells the cruel honest truth, because he wants no regrets and he is definately NOT a gentleman.

Funnily enough, not gentlemanly is just the way I like them ;-)

My Rhett Butler can be seen below :-D

Obviously imagine him in the dress code of the time, and an amused, cynical smile lifting the corners of his lips! He would be a charming guy to know. There's somthing about bad guys that are actually good just make me weak at the knees :-P

Love you long time Rhett!
