Love this one!

It says V'Lane but looks like Enrique Iglesias. LOL I cant read the red and black one though.

LOL Maybe he can sing it to Mac.

I love Ryodan so I mostly like scenes with him. LOL

When he talks with Mac in Shadowfever and then grabs her from behind and she thinks how when he touches her like that it's scary.

I also like in the end of the book when they try to take pics in the vault (don't remember exactly what it is) and one of the Sidhe-Seers destroys the phone. That was kind of funny.

It might sound weird but in Dreamfever when he is wounded and his face is full of blood and you can see his cheek bone... I thought that was kind of hot!

Oh, my God! Why did I read this thread? Now I've gotta go reread all the books. lol!

From Faefever:

Jericho Barrons was a man it wouldn't be hard to romanticize (overlooking the toting around of savaged bodies, of course). Fiona, the woman who'd run the bookstore before I'd come along, had been so blindly in love with him that she'd tried to kill me to get me out of her way. Barrons was powerful, broodingly good-looking, insanely wealthy, frighteningly intelligent, and had exquisite taste, not to mention a hard body that emitted some kind of constant low-level charge. Bottom line: He was the stuff of heroes.

And psychotic killers.

Yeah, Barrons. Ummmmmm.

From Faefever:

Then he pulled back and stared at me and when he spoke, his voice was low with fury. "Never do that again, Ms. Lane. Do not insult me with your silly rituals, and idiotic platitudes. Never try to humanize me. Don't think we're the same, you and I. We're not."

This is what he tells her after he's destroyed the birthday cake she made for him. This is why it's hard for me to accept the closing scene of Shadowfever with Barrons at the grill for a family BBQ party. No way is that Barrons and I resent seeing him 'humanized' like that. Barrons is a dangerous animal, always.

From Dreamfever:
During the time he's 'treating' Mac in her Priya state.

"Open your eyes and say my name."
I squeeze them shut more tightly.
"It would make my cock hard to hear you say my name."
My eyes pop open. "Jericho Barrons," I say sweetly.
He makes a pained sound. "Bloody hell, woman, I think a part of me wants to keep you this way."
I touch his face. "I like how I am. I like how you are too. When you are …What is that word you used? Cooperating."
"Tell me to fuck you."
I smile and comply. We're back in territory I understand.
"You didn't say my name. Say my name when you tell me to fuck you."
"Fuck me, Jericho Barrons."
"From now on, you will call me Jericho Barrons every time you speak to me."
He is a strange beast. But he gives me what I want.

Like I said, an ANIMAL.

On the other hand -- This is from Dreamfever.
During the time he's treating Mac in her Priya state. They're listening to" Tub-thumping" and dancing around the room naked. I think this was when I fell in love with Barrons—and that song-- without reservation.

He dances with me. We shout the lyrics at each other. Something about seeing this man, this big, sexual, powerful—and, some part of me knows, highly dangerous and unpredictable—man, dancing nude, shouting that he's never going to be kept down, completely undoes me.

I feel as if I am seeing something forbidden. I know without knowing how I know that the circumstances under which he would behave in such a fashion are incalculably few.

Suddenly I am laughing and cannot stop. I laugh so hard I cannot breathe. "Oh, God, Barrons," I finally gasp. "I never knew you could dance. Or have fun, for that matter."

Barbecue Barrons was bad. But the whole "romance" was. I cannot see him developing any kind of romantic feelings for a person like Mac. He was emasculated and that's a shame, especially with a male like Barrons.

Sarah, I have to agree with you. I didn't particularly like Mac when I read the books the first time. But now that I'm re-reading, she's even MORE wrong for him. It's not just that she's young and shallow; it's her persistent mall-girl, Scarlett-Ohara-wanna-be personality.

I'm so glad I'm not alone since so many think she's great. I mean, it is surely hard to write a female character that can match the awesomeness that is Barrons. But Mac wasn't even close to it.

I don't think there perfect for each other but i think they balance each other out. Barrons is all dark and Mac is all about the rainbows, but when they are together they give a little to each other and boom perfection. Those are just my thoughts on Mac and Barrrons.

I don't think Barrons is there for Mac's sake... he wants information. As KMM phrased, barrons is never doing anything he doesn't want too. Her parents are coming over to talk to her... I think he is there to find out more about who/what Mac is. Remember Barrons knows that Mac has a copy of the SB in her.

As for them as a couple, I agree with Becca they are not prefect but they bring things out in one another that is wonderful to read and follow.

Davena, I'd be able to accept Barrons with a 'selfish' motive like that. lol! A lot better anyway. After all, he painted her toenails at the end of the 1st book Darkfever. Maybe it's that roof-top lounge area that brings out his domestic side????? rotflmao.

But I just don't feel like Mac is the right girl for him. I accept it grudgingly, but I can't see him having deep feelings for someone like her.

Oh no, don't mention him painting the toenails. Argh!!!

My favorite Barrons quote:

"God said, 'Let there be light!'
I said, 'Say please.'"

That's a good one, Jennifer!

This was posted on KMM's Facebook page today. Definitely a favorite.

From Alina's journal in Faefever:

"He calls me his Queen of the Night. He shows me the wonders in this incredible city. He encourages me to find my own way, and to choose what I think is right or wrong.

And the sex, God, the sex! I never knew what sex was until him! It’s not soft music and candlelight, a choice, a deliberate action.

It’s as involuntary as breathing, and as impossible not to do. It’s slammed up against a wall in a dark alley, or flat on my back on cold concrete because I can’t stand one more second without him. It’s on my hands and knees, dry-mouthed, heart-in-my-throat, waiting for the moment he touches me, and I’m alive again. It’s punishing and purifying, velvet and violent, and it makes everything else melt away, until nothing matters but getting him inside me and I wouldn’t just die for him—I’d kill for him, too.

Like I did tonight."
