This week I decided to hearken back once more to author Lauren Dane, because she just released another book on Tuesday. I respect her not only as a writer but she’s also pretty cool. She talks to people on twitter and her blog is uber relaxed and open.

In her contemporary romance Always, Caitlin (pronounced Kathleen) runs into Eamon Blake, whom she knew intimately four years ago while working in his family’s pub in Ireland. Now he’s back in Cali – though hours away from her in Seattle – working as a photographer and they rekindle their relationship. Their number one stumbling block is the distance and who will leave their life first to make them be together.

I’m not going to type out his stats. Suffice to say, I am pretty sure that Dane had Gerard Butler in mind, to a tee. (If you ignore the fact that Eamon is Irish and Gerry is Scottish. Details, details.)

The funny thing is that Caitlin has an exchange with her boss explaining the above; LOL. I love when author’s nod to the obvious. I can’t find any great quotes that don’t totally ruin the book but here’s a good one:

“I was wrong.  Lost without you. Because you have my heart, Cat. You own it.”

I’m a total sap for those big confessionals. Trust me; this book is a great read and Eamon is totally hot but also, total boyfriend material.
