Blog Tour: 25 Days of Book Boyfriends {Character Profile, Top Ten List, + Giveaway!}
I am SO excited to be the one to kick off the first ever 25 Days of Book Boyfriends tour! A big thanks to everyone who signed up for this and to my lovely partners in crime, Teresa from Readers Live a 1000 Lives and Chelsea from Starbucks & Books Obsession! I was hoping we would get enough interest to make this tour possible and we did!
A different book boyfriend will be featured on a different blog from Dec. 1- Dec. 25th. Each stop will spotlight their book boyfriend in a variety of ways. Some will even be hosting their own giveaway!

SO! Today I am SO excited to introduce you to one of my absolute top book boyfriends. I have a million, but when it came down to it, I went with my heart and that belonged to Jonah Whitecomb from Heather Lyons' The Fate Series. Those of you that know me, KNOW how much I adore this series and how it featured the love triangle of ALL love triangles. But when it came down to it- my heart has always loved Jonah just a tad bit more than his oh-so-sexy twin, Kellan.

I am so excited to have Jonah here with me today! I interviewed him a while back, so it was great to have him here again! I asked him if he would talk to us about his and Chloe's relationship. This will show you exactly WHY I am in love with him!
~Top Ten Things You May Not Know About Jonah and Chloe's Relationship~
1. Outside of my brother, Chloe knows me better than anyone else. While I'm close to him due to us being identical twins (and, you know, constantly in each other's heads), I like to think she and I are so close not so much due to our Connection, but because we genuinely like and trust each other.
2. Even though we spent more years together in our dreams than in real life, it doesn't feel that way to me. Despite constantly worrying I was nuts for being in love with a girl in my dreams, she always was my anchor.
3. Speaking of our years together... despite the level of comfort and familiarity we have, every time I look at Chloe or hear her voice, my heart races a little. I think it always will. At least, I hope so.
4. Something we like to do together is try out new restaurants. Chloe isn't very adventurous with food. Honestly? Neither am I. So we decided to force ourselves out of our comfort zones and try new things together. Now, it's one of our favorite things to do because we get to have all these new experiences together. Even if we're totally disgusted by what we're eating.
5. She and I like to leave each other little notes in surprising places- like inside mugs or taped to the toothpaste tube or in coat pockets, places where we might not expect them. Some are sweet, some sexy, some funny, some sentimental. All are meant to let the other know we're thinking of them. And sometimes we like to make it a challenge, where you have to find several notes to make a complete message. Obviously, we never, ever share these with anyone else, so I won't be sharing with you what any of them say. But, let's just say that I've kept all the ones she's given me.
6. We often read books to each other. I love listening to her read. She does the best voices in stories, so it's easy to lose myself into the stories I hear. Conversely, she makes me use accents while reading- despite being able to speak a number of languages, I'm horrible at using different voices in books. But she's sweet enough to listen to me anyway.
7. We are addicted to Will Farrell movies and quote them to each other often. We also try to work his movie quotes into everyday conversation as innocuously as possible- it's a game to us. Some people think we're totally nuts when they realize what we're doing, but it never fails to make us laugh.
8. It seems pretty impossible, since I love her so much, but every day I fall in love with Chloe even more- even when she's breaking my heart. That sounds weird, right? But it's true.
9. When we were last in Rome, we threw coins in the Trevi Fountain- only one apiece, though, since we are already in love. I think it would make both us very happy if could move part of the year to Rome.
10. Speaking of Italy....um... Chloe loves it when I speak Italian to her. Especially when, you know, we're alone. So, yeah. There's that.
DREAMY SIGHHHH. Thank you Jonah for talking to us about you and Chloe's relationship!
