 Physical Description/ First Appearance

"Dell braced himself, but all that delicious warm mocha skin of his—courtesy of his Native American mother—covered an impressive amount of tough testosterone and muscle. Still, even a six-foot-two, 180-pound veterinarian extraordinaire could be leveled by the freighttrain force of a chunky St. Bernard, and at impact Dell landed on his ass."

Quotes:

“Come on, baby,” he murmured. “Give it up for me. You know you want to.”
Jade Bennett did her best to ignore the way the low, sexy voice made her shiver. Besides, it wasn’t aimed at her. Dr. Dell Connelly— dog whisperer, cat whisperer, horse whisperer, and known woman whisperer— was talking to a stray kitten."

Quotes:

“He knew every bit as much as she that this shouldn’t happen. It was risking too much. Someone was going to get hurt.
Too late for that . . .
And in any case, he couldn’t let her go. In fact, his arms came around her and held on.
“Jade, what the hell am I going to do with you?”
“Are you as scared as I am?”
“Terrified,” he said. “Hold me."

 Quotes

“You asked why I’m here,” he said against her lips. “It’s because you’re a part of my life, you’re a part of me, Jade, the most important part, actually, and have been since the day you walked into Sunshine.”

Why He's a Great Book Boyfriend:

Dell is funny, witty and friendly. He's a vet and loves animals.

He's hard to tame but one he realizes he's in love with Jade he is more than willing to settle down with her. He's protective and sweet. 

Dell is great, I think. Sometimes an alpha man makes a wonderful character :)

So, what do you think of Dell?
