Sidekick Showcase #16 – Law Enforcement
Oh this one should be very interesting, and it’s the first one in a long time where I had a character drop into my head as soon as I saw the theme of the day 🙂 I am going to talk a little about the sexiest sheriff alive (or undead as it may be) – I give you Eric Northman from the Sookie Stackhouse series! I mean really, what’s not to like? He is gorgeous, he’s a viking, he’s a vampire (that might not be a true positive trait, but you know…), he’s loyal, he has a great sense of humor and did I say he’s truly gorgeous?
From Club Dead :
“You are speaking of my future lover. Be more respectful.”
“I don’t like having feelings,” Eric said coldly, and he left.
That was a tough exit line to top.”“Eric was holding my hands, and I was digging my nails into him like we were doing something else. He won’t mind, I thought, as I realized I’d drawn blood. And sure enough, he didn’t. “Let go,” he advised me, and I loosened my grip on his hands. “No, not of me,” he said smiling. “You can hold on to me as long as you want.”
From Dead as Doornail:
“Did we have sex?” he asked directly.
For about two minutes, this might actually be fun. “Eric,” I said, “we had sex in every position I could imagine, and some I couldn’t. We had sex in every room in my house, and we had sex outdoors. You told me it was the best you’d ever had.” (At the time he couldn’t recall all the sex he’d ever had. But he’d paid me a compliment.) “Too bad you can’t remember it,” I concluded with a modest smile.
Eric looked like I’d hit him in the forehead with a mallet. For all of thirty seconds his reaction was completely gratifying.”
From Living Dead in Dallas:
“You trust me?” Eric sounded surprised.
“Yes.”
“That’s . . . crazy, Sookie.”“Hey, our hair’s the same color,” I said, eying us side by side in the mirror.
“Sure is, girlfriend.” Eric grinned at me.”“The last time I wore an animal hide; but this time I settled for this.” Eric had been wearing a long trench coat. Now he threw it off dramatically, and I could only stand and stare. Normally, Eric was a blue-jeans-and-T-shirt kind of guy. Tonight, he wore a pink tank top and Lycra leggings[…]They were pink and aqua, like the swirls down the side of Jason’s truck.”
“Sookie, my little bullet-sucker”
Eric, my big bullshitter”
Who is your Law Enforcement character for Sidekick Showcase? Please do share, I really look forward to seeing the different choices today.
Thanks for stopping by 🙂 Have a spectacular Saturday and a wonderful weekend.
Haha, I love Eric XD I really do. That he’s played by Alexander Skarsgard in the series doesn’t hurt 😉 I still remember quite a few of those quotes as well! Great choices 🙂
I’ve never heard of this feature before but it’s a great idea! It happens to me quite often that I find a sidekick at least as or even more interesting as the MC.
I agree, Alexander Skarsgard is definitely very easy on the eyes 😉
You should participate to try it out, Carmen, we’re having a lot of fun each week thanks to Jaclyn’s great imagination.
Thanks for stopping by!
Oh my! Yes, Eric Northman definitely makes me SWOON!! 😉 Excellent choice, Lexxie. And thanks so much for the pic as well – a nice Saturday treat! LOL
Have a super Saturday, Lexxie! *hugs*
Btw, I keep meaning to comment on how much I love seeing your smiling face! 🙂
Oh, thank you Brandee 😀
Yum, right? I just had to share a pic of ASkars, he’s so good looking!
Thanks for stopping by, my dear.
I love him and the pic you shared! Excellent choice this week for law enforcement and funny that I didn’t even consider him LOL. The quotes you shared are absolutely fantastic! BTW, I really enjoy getting to see your picture and smiling face as well 😀 Have a fantastic weekend! Jaclyn @ JC’s Book Haven.
Thank you Jaclyn 🙂 Eric was the one name that popped into my head when I saw law enforcement, even if he isn’t really, the sexy sheriff wouldn’t leave. And I love that picture so I thought I should share it.
Thanks for stopping by Jaclyn 🙂
My favorite sheriff. 🙂 Love this post. Great picture too. 😉 <3
🙂 You know I aim to please, Xyra 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
BOL! I just read through the comments and the “outfit” has me ROFL! Priceless!
I love Eric and I didn’t even think of him. What kind of book girlfriend am I? A terrible one. Great quotes. You make me want to start the series at the beginning. He certainly enforced the law. Have a great week, Lexxie. I’ll have my sidekick post up in a couple days.
Well, I guess you’re the kind of bookgirlfriend who just lost Eric to that blogger in Switzerland 😛
I hope your move went OK, and that you’ll get settled in your new house easily and quickly. *hugs* Thanks for taking a time-out from packing out to come here and comment, Robyn.
