My Book Boyfriend 7/4: Adam Hauptman

My Book Boyfriend is a weekly meme hosted by Missie at The Unread Reader.

This week My Book Boyfriend is Adam Hauptman from the Mercy Thompson Series by Patricia Briggs. This is one of my favorite series ever! Mercy is a shape shifting coyote who is married to an Alpha Werewolf, Adam. Adam is a bit older than Mercy, but their chemistry is absolutely addicting. He is the tall, dark, and handsome sort. Adam is powerful, dominating, loyal, protective, extremely sexy, and loves Mercy fiercely. I've been searching for months for the perfect Adam and the best I could come up with is Matthew Fox. He's pretty smokin, so even if you don't agree, he's still really nice to look at. Enjoy!

“Mine" he said.
Adam's eyes narrowed. "I don't think so. She is mine."
It would of been flattering,I thought,except that at least one of them was talking about dinner and I wasn't certain about the other.”

Hey, Adam,” I said.
I thought you’d want to know that Warren and Darryl made it out of the vampire den alive.”
I sucked in my breath. “You didn’t actually agree to their meeting on Marsilia’s grounds?”
He laughed. “No, it just sounded better than saying they made it out of Denny’s alive. It might not be romantic, but it’s open all night and set in the middle of a brightly lit parking lot with no dark places for skulking parties to ambush from.”

“Do you have any idea how much I love you?” he asked.
”Enough to accept my apologies?” I suggested in a small voice.
”Heck no,” he said, and pushed off from the wall, stalking forward.
When he reached me, he put his hands up and touched the sides of my neck with the tips of his fingers – as if I were something fragile.
”No apologies from you,” he told me, his voice soft enough to melt my knees and most of my other parts.”

“Wolves eat coyotes," Gordon said[...] If he weren't an old man, I had some rude things I could have said to that.

"Yes," observed Adam blandly. "I do."

Yep. That was the one that came to mind. And he didn't even blush when he said it. Maybe Gordon would miss the double entendre. But he grinned cheerfully at Adam.”

“Mmm, he rumbled into my ear. I thought that being married meant that I never go to bed hungry.”
― Patricia Briggs, River Marked


“I like that people can just look at you and know that you are taken, that you are mine.” He closed his eyes and laughed. “And yes, I know that sentiment is at the top of the Women’s Liberation Movement’s list of things not to say to a modern woman”

“You okay now ?" he asked.
"Okay."
He tightened his arms and lifted me off my feet. "Mercy?" he growled into my ear. I wrapped my legs around his waist. " Yeah" , I said. "Me too.”
― Patricia Briggs, River Marked


“I knew he would never leave me, never let me down-because the man had never abandoned anything in his long life. If I hadn’t taken the gold rope of our bond, I knew Adam would have sat on me and hog-tied me with it. I liked that. A lot.”
― Patricia Briggs, Silver Borne


“It's only fair to warn you that you sealed your fate tonight. When you knew you were in trouble, you came to me. That makes twice, Mercy, and twice is almost as good as a declaration. You are mine now.... Ben says you might run. If you do, I will find you and bring you back. Every time you run, Mercy. I won't force you, but. .. No more excuses, Mercy. You are mine, and I am keeping you.”
― Patricia Briggs, Iron Kissed
