48% Complete and Book Boyfriends

At the moment I am approximately 48% done with the dress.  Doesn't seem much progress, but it's a lot.  Once I get over the terrifying thing called tulle (the stuff ballerina tutus are made of, AKA: The Devil's Fabric) it'll be pretty much just a matter of getting the layers sewn together, the hem finished the trim and swarovski crystals added - by hand. Holy sweet baby Jesus, I have a lot to do! 

I will have it done by May.  I will have it done by May.  I will have it done by May.  I will have it done by May. I will have it done by May.  I will have it done by May.  I will have it done by May.

Here's a bit of what I have completed right now.  This is just a portion of the innards/lining.

I'm totally feeling anxiety right now. I had to take a break because I kept messing up the stitch and the seam allowance.  I had to put the damned thing down because I don't want to make an irrepairable mistake, you know?  I was near tears, but if Ava taught me anything it was to walk away and catch my breath, so I have decided to come update you since I don't really have a book boyfriend to run to.

Speaking of book boyfriends- today I purchased Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost for my Kindle.  It's on sale for $1.99 if you are interested.  I have never read anything by Jeaniene, but I've heard some good things about this one so... we'll see if Vlad here is gonna become a book boyfriend.  Hopefully I'll enjoy it.  Dude on the cover looks intense.  O_O. 

I'll always love Philippa Gregory's Robert from The Queen's Fool.  He will always make my brain heart go a pitter-patt through young Hannah's eyes. Oh Robert, you devil.

I have fond memories of Hunter from Vicki Pettersson's Zodiac Series.  I do recall a lot of girls wanting to lick him. Yep, I was among them.  Hunter broke my heart something bad, but when I looked further into his background and stayed patient I found out there was a reason for everything and in the end it was better.  I will always remember those honey eyes.

There's also Vicki's Grif from the Celestial Blues series, but I'm still heartbroke so I don't wanna talk about him right now.  I can't WAIT until the final book of CB comes out!

Martin Le Loup was, as Flavor Flav would say, "Soooooooo Dramatical" but I LOVED him.  I think I met him when he was a teenager in Susan Carroll's The Silver Rose. This is, I believe the 3rd book in the Dark Queen series.  Honestly, I think all of these books have amazing guys, but Martin stood out with his reactions.  I loved seeing him in the later books again matured into a man, a father.  I think that one is called The Huntress.  I'm totally going to need to revisit all those boys again.

Oh My Gosh!  How could I almost forget the vampires?  There's Stephen from Jeannie Holmes' Blood Law and Blood Secrets.  He's a minor character, but he had me when I first saw him wanting to kick Varik's ass.  I love overprotective big brothers.

And then there is Alfonso Serrano, the bad boy gone good in Laurie London's Embraced by Blood of the Sweet Blood Series. I loved him when he was a villain in the first book Bonded By Blood, but I always knew there was more to him.  Then I found out his ex was a sweet blood and he was basically forced to kill her. Her name was Jessica.  *Cue dramatic music*. . .  My name is Jessica. O_O

Anyway, that is all.  I think I'm ready to go back and try to sew again.

Who are some of your favorite book boyfriends?
