For those of you that have not read the Downside Ghosts series by Stacia Kane here is a little background on Terrible.
Terrible grew up on the streets in Downside and was basically raised by Bump, a drug dealer and pimp. Once Terrible was old enough he became Bumps right hand man and his enforcer.
Terrible is not his real name but no one, not even Terrible knows what his birth name is since he was abandoned at a very young age.
Terrible loves retro music like Johnny Cash and he drives a black Chevelle. He is a wall of muscle that stacks up to around 6’4”. He wears bowling shirts a lot and wears his hair in a 50’s style Pmpadour and tops off the look with mutton chop sideburns. In the first book, Unholy Ghosts, Chess (the heroine of the series and his love interest) said, "And you look like Elvis vomited you up".
Terrible’s not much of a romantic so he would most likely take you out to his favorite bar, Trickster’s, for a few beers and listen to a local band. He’s not much for chattering either so it would be up to you to make most of the small talk but don’t bore him. When he talks it’s because it’s something important so don’t go wasting his time talking about shoes and other things that dames like to talk about.
Actually Terrible is more of a take action kind of guy. He’s better at using his mouth for other things than chattering the night away. Oh but the things he can do to you if he’s into you. He can make a dame feel like she is the only dame in the world. He is loyal and protective. When he loves he loves all the way. You couldn’t feel more safe and wanted than what Terrible can make you feel.
Terrible may be a man of few words but he makes up for it in the passion that he shows his number one dame. When he’s not protecting you, he’s throwing you up against a wall and get dirty and passionate with ya. Terrible is the most alpha and sexually tense man I’ve read in a long time if not ever.
So if you want the knowledge on this strong and silent hunk of man meat you need to wander down the Downside streets and see what I’m talking about. Just know when you hear the loud rawr of that black Chevelle it will run chills up your spine in anticipation.
I’ll leave you with some of my favorite swoon-worthy Terrible quotes.

“I figure you really wanted me you'd say. Like now, maybe, if you dig. I'll fuckin carry you down your place on a run, you tell me aye, get you on your back afore the next word comes out your mouth. But you oughta have yourself certain, causen I ain't lookin for charity, an I ain't lettin you go after. Once...once ain't enough for me, dig?”
“Chessie … shit, Chessie, I love you so bad.” His teeth on her throat, biting hard, his lips soothing the spot. “So fucking much, so … so bad.”
“Love you too Chess. You got that aye? Ain't you know it? Love you right, till it hurts. Ain't going nowhere…………”

I'd take Roarke from the In Death series or Ranger from Evanovich's series. Roarke would definitely know romance, but ending the night with Ranger would be fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love the series by Stacia Kane, Terrible had this ability to make you melt every time he choose to talk. Super great post.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Terrible is yummy.
DeleteThanks for stopping by to read my post.
I'd go on a date with Harry Dresden, from Jim Butcher's Dresden Files. He's down to earth and rugged, but also very protective and exciting. Plus, he has a good sense of humor, which has always been a big turn-on for me. :)
