Match 3 Charlie VS. Lorenzo

Hey ya'll I am so excited to be a part of Entangled Teens March Madness this year.

I need your help to get Lorenzo from Rachel Harris's book My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century to the next round. He's going up against Charlie from Love and Other Unknown Variables by Shannon Lee Alexander.

Lorenzo is the hot, 18 year old, blond, aspiring artist that dreams are made of ya'll.

Who wouldn't fall in love with his brown chocolate eyes, and broad shoulders?

Oh mama, I know I sure did hehe

"You are an angel, a vision sent from Signore," he says, repeating the line he gave me at the marketplace. He grins and looks at the ground "When we first met, I thought you could never be more beautiful- but I was wrong." He lifts his head and warmth pools in my belly. "Tonight you shine brighter than any diamond."

But there is more than just a pretty face. He has incredible dreams and aspirations, and I find that highly attractive in a man. Plus he is smart, caring, sweet, a huge flirt, and a great dancer. He knows how to treat a lady right, and even thinks a woman's little quirks are interesting and funny. I don't know about ya'll but that little trait right there is enough to make me swoon ;)

Everything about him screams adorable right down to his Italian accent. I mean how can you not find that hot as heck? You give me a guy and then add in a great accent and *sigh

That just ups his appeal by about 146%

“Lorenzo gently places his hands on either side of my face, lowering his head to stare directly into my eyes. His voice is barely above a whisper as he says, "Patience D'Angeli-Cat-you are my dream now.”

Plus here's a fun tidbit, did you know that Rachel had Alex Pettyfer in mind when she wrote the Italian hunk? Um hum, she even admits to having his picture plastered all over her computer for months while she wrote him.

Just something to keep in mind hehe

She even mentions it here in a quick message she has for everyone :)

From Rachel:

Thank you to everyone who voted to get Lorenzo in this event! I have to admit, he holds a special place in my heart. Italian hottie artists tend to make me giddy ;) Lorenzo stole my heart right along with Cat's in My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century and I'm so tickled with the attention he continues to get from readers! A fun tidbit is that I used Alex Pettyfer for my inspiration. Trust me, it was no hardship having a bunch of his pictures posted over my laptop for months (*grin*). I think my favorite scene is when Cat teaches him how to slow dance the "London way" -- that is her code word for her crazy, modern-day-isms.

Aayesha the Book Hogger

I DON'T KNOW WHY I PUT MYSELF THROUGH THIS TORTURE. Harlequins and Silhouettes aren't generally known for their good writing BUT I KEEP READING THEM. Ugh. This one was worse than usual. And yet, YET, I still keep going back to Harlequins. Stupid me, huh? You can say that again. I don't know what it is about them that pulls me. Maybe it's just hope that one day, one day, I'll find another 5 star like that Contaxis or Bride or whatever its name was. Maybe it's just because I enjoy reading about the tortured, self-deprecating TDH guys. Maybe it's the sex. Maybe (this is the most likely one) I just want something I can finish quickly, something to read during times as these (exam-time, see). It's just that I so desperately miss reading during my exams and I suppose that ANYTHING would do, even awful books like this one. But in all fairness, I LOVED the guy to bits. Loved him, loved him, loved him.I cannot express my dislike for the author's writing. She was honestly one of the worst I've read. There was no sequence or flow to the context or the conversations, she put inappropriate words in EVERY sentence (I'm presuming a thesaurus was put to great use) and the writing just had 'WRONG' written all over it. The only redeeming point was Cullen *swoon* My wonderful, tortured, abused, amazing man. I loved him. AND I HATED LAUREL OR WHATEVER HER NAME WAS FOR BEING SUCH A BLIND, SELFISH B****. I mean, STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW BAD YOU'VE GOT AND LOOK AT HIM, WOMAN!! Look at how amazing a guy he is! Look at how much he's willing to sacrifice for YOU AND THE BABY!!! Look at how he's torturing himself, look beneath the 'hard, cold granite wall' he puts up! I honestly hated her. And not only that, BUT SHE WENT ON ABOUT HOW SHE WAS WILLING TO 'FIGHT' FOR HIM. And what does she do? Sit and complain and feel sorry for herself and tell herself that she WAS going to fight. God. Awful heroines. I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THEM. WHY CAN'T THEY ALL BE NICE AND SWEET AND STRONG AND TRUSTING AND TOUGH LIKE GARWOOD'S OLDER NOVEL HEROINES??? WHYYYYY???
