Shiver- Sam Roth

Um, hi all you bangin' hot book boy fans!  Life has been crazy lately, but I finally got to sit down and read an awesome book with a hot boy we must talk about!

No spoilers, so read away :) 

Today I am going to discuss Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater.  Oh my, if you have not read this book, I totally recommend it.  I can't wait for the next book in the series, Linger,  to come out this year.  I have heard a lot of negativity about this book, people complaining it's too much like Twilight and unoriginal, um no.  None of those thoughts crossed my mind whilst reading.  Anyway, I thought it was a great story that made me ache for the two main characters.  I really liked that the story was told through both Sam and Grace's point of view, it changed things up a bit. 

I'm going to talk about Sam.  Sam is bangin' hot.  Oh yes, he definitely is.  

So, Sam is a little on the sensitive side.  Not so much the type to cry during a chick flick, but the type that reads poetry and plays his guitar and loves loves loves Grace with all of his being.  And to me that is hot, really hot.  He isn't the super macho tough guy, but his occasional jealous moments and the intimate way he looks at Grace is way better.  You see, Sam really is broken, he went through some horrifying things as a child, and even though Grace had family and friends, she was all alone.  They needed each other and I think they truly loved each other.  

The first time Sam sees Grace not as a wolf makes me melt, because you can almost feel his anxiety and his want for her to approach him.....

"My chest ached, my body speaking a language my head didn't quite understand.  I waited. But Grace, the only person in the world I wanted to know me, just ran a wanting finger over the cover of one of the new hardcovers and walked out of the store without ever realising I was there, right within reach."

Basically Sam made me melt throughout the entire book.... 

So what do you think about Sam?  Does he warrant bangin' hot status?
