Boys in books (and TV shows) are better

Ecco a voi la rubrica del giovedì dedicata ai personaggi maschili di serie TV e libri che più adoro e che vorrei esistessero nella realtà! Se anche voi leggendo un libro vi innamorate del protagonista e vorreste tanto poterlo incontrare per strada, allora questa rubrica fa per voi! 

Oggi è il turno di Woods Kerrington, protagonista di due libri di Abbi Glines, ma presente in tutta la serie Rosemary Beach. 
(Amo tutti i libri e i protagonisti di Abbi, ma Woods rimarrà sempre il migliore!)

Titolo: Twisted Perfection (Rosemary Beach #5, Perfection #1)
Autrice: Abbi Glines
Trama (tradotta da me):

Vivere fuori casa era un'esperienza nuova per Della Sloane. Gli oscuri segreti del suo passato erano qualcosa che mai avrebbe voluto condividere con nessuno. Non avrebbero capito. Nessuno si sarebbe mai avvicinato abbastanza a lei da scoprirli. C'era sempre la possibilità che diventasse pazza prima del previsto...

Woods Kerrington non era mai stato il tipo da sentirsi attratto dalle ragazze fragili. Sembrava costassero troppa fatica. Ed egli non cercava lo sforzo, solo il piacere. Una notte piena di divertimento era esattamente ciò a cui stava pensando dopo aver posato lo sguardo sul bel bocconcino che non sapeva far benzina e aveva bisogno d'aiuto.

Non sapeva quanto fosse fragile. La ragazza spensierata che diceva ciò che pensava e non si preoccupava di cosa pensasse il mondo di lei era molto più delicata di quanto egli avesse mai potuto immaginare...

E ora: citazioni! (da Twisted Perfection e Simple Perfection)

"He was there to warn me off. I convinced him that I was more serious about you than I had ever been about a girl and he told me about your bad dreams. I wanted to be here. I couldn't stand the idea of him holding you. Of you going through that and me not being here for you. Don't be mad at me, sweetheart. Please, I don't want you ever to sleep without me beside you again. I can't stand the thought of you dealing with that alone."

"I'll be whatever she needs me to be. I can't walk away from her; I tried. I'm hooked. And now I'm about to lose my mind  because I don't know how to help her. I just need to go find her and hold her the rest of the damn day. I need to know she is okay."

"My dad did all of this for himself. His drive to succeed was selfish. There was no love in his work. My grandfather had built this business out of love for the woman he married. I'd seen that with my own eyes. I didn't want to be my father. I wanted to be my grandfather."

"I woke up and you were so damn gorgeous curled up against me I couldn't go back to sleep. I didn't want to sleep and waste time that I could spend looking at you."

"I just want you. In whatever way I can have you. But I'm glad you're happy. I'm glad you feel strong. I want you to be happy with yourself. Because you make my life amazing."

"You can't expect me to stay here and let her think I don't want her. That's not okay, Braden. It's not fucking okay. She shouldn't have to overcome a fear that's pointless. How can she think I don't love her? That she isn't my heart, my soul,  my future? That's the one thing she should never doubt. That, she needs to know."

"Hold her for me. Hold her tight. Don't let her be lonely. Don't let her hurt. Please."

"I'll fix whatever is wrong if you just tell me."

"You aren't insane. You are intelligent, lovable, and beautiful. But you are not insane. You lived through hell and you beat it, Della. Most people can't overcome something like what you've overcome. Don't ever think you're less than amazing."

"My mother is choosing her wants over mine. I will not live my life the way she wants me to. I will love who the fuck I wanna love. She doesn't control that."

"Della didn't seem to mind. I had been watching to make sure it didn't get to her. The moment it seemed like Della was upset about Angelina's still being in our lives in this capacity, I would end all connection with my mom until Angelina left. She would eventually leave anyway when she realizad I didn't want her and nothing she did was going to change that. Della owned me. She always would."
