This week at Typical Distractions our book boyfriend is the enigmatic 

Leo Maddox

from Sarah Darlington’s debut novel He Belongs With Me. Leo is one swoon worthy book boyfriend and quite possibly my favorite character of this book! He is a well rounded character, sweet and sexy, a successful young man who is also the boy next door you grew up with. Check out the teaser below and see what we mean!

“Leo.” I tried one last time, but my voice came out in a terrified whisper.

With the confidence of a rock god, he came to me. He grabbed one of my now trembling hands, and in a single swift motion, pulled me up and into his arms. I let him do it too. I let him because I knew what was coming and I had no willpower to stop it. Then, Leo tangled his hands in my hair in a way so tender and out of character that if my eyes weren’t open, I wouldn’t have believed it was him. He drew me close, almost like he’d been waiting his whole life to do so and he whispered against my ear, “I like you.” His words were hot as sin against my skin. “I more than like you. As hard as I try, I can’t seem to stop and I sure as hell don’t want to try anymore.”

A strange whimper escaped my lungs. “You do?”

“Yes, I do.”

One of his hands moved from my hair to my face. The pad of his thumb traced slowly over my jaw line to my chin, and then to my bottom lip. He touched me as if he were trying to memorize the feel of me. I stared up into his eyes, petrified to the core, but I didn’t dare pull away. Maybe a small part of my brain protested, but the rest of me did nothing to end this.
