Yeah, he's the group picture. Figured he would draw in the readers. Haha. He's definitely the kinda guy you can't resist. Or at least I hope so! :)

When I picture Joel either Chris Hemsworth or Chris Pine comes to mind. It's always easier as an author to be able to put a "big screen name" to the face.
And now...let me tell you a little bit more about him (without giving the book away.)
In the book Volition Joel seems to enter Charlotte's life at just the right time, or just the wrong time, depending on who you ask. His easy charm and good looks are assumed by her friends to be Charlotte's biggest distraction in seeing him for who he really is. But the question isn't who he is, it's what.
His bright green eyes match Charlotte's exactly, his hair is the same chocolate brown. Are these just a coincidence or is there a reason for their similarities? Are they connected somehow? Well...that would be absurd...wouldn't it? Charlotte doesn't even know Joel. He's charming and sweet and has the air of innocence yet he seems to know maybe just a little too much.
There's a fine line between mysterious and dangerous. Where does Joel fall? And why won't he tell Charlotte anything more than he's "here to protect her." Well that definitely explains nothing. Sure she had a close call at the club a few nights ago and things could have ended badly but they didn't...right? Well, that's when Charlotte met Joel and she did happen to meet him in a dark hotel room after she'd passed out in the club. Wait. Now everything is just beyond confusing. Joel seems honest and something in Charlotte's gut says that he's telling the truth...but what exactly has he told her apart from nothing?
