Welcome to my stop on the Book Boyfriend Blog Hop for #ChickLitMay. I’m pleased to introduce you to a grumpy but gorgeous romcom hero, Gabriel Anderson, from my debut romantic comedy novel, Girl on a Plane.
Meet Gabriel Anderson from Girl on a Plane
“I suppose I should tell you something about myself even though I hate giving media interviews. By now I know it goes with the territory of being a CEO of a global travel company. I’m Gabriel Anderson, I’m 32 years old and I live in Melbourne, Australia. Some women tell me I look like a surfer, and it’s probably true. I love to surf and swim. Travel is my other passion. But travelling as often as I do, there’s been no time for anything serious with a woman, that’s for damn sure.”

“There’s something else you should know about me – I’m in no mood to deal with distractions or time wasters. Everything was going smoothly in my world, even if it was constantly busy. My migraines have been coming on hard and fast and I have my Mum’s illness always at the back of my mind. But I had it all under control. Now, everything is up in the air. Because of her.”
“Let me explain. I met a woman named Sinead, a flight attendant with Mermaid Airlines. She has the sexiest Irish lilt to her voice and that’s what I call her: Irish. She’s tall and stunning with platinum blonde hair and the most amazing breasts…but that’s not what I find most attractive about her. Oh, no. She’s got me thinking about her constantly, with the way she made me laugh, about Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee of all things. When she teased me about Nude Espresso and winked at me as she swayed down the aisle of the plane.”
“After one night together in Singapore, I knew I’d never get enough of her. She’s incredible. A firecracker. The only woman I want. I want her in my bed, I want her with me. If I have to chase her to London, or Dublin, or freaking Japan, I’ll do it.”
“I’m going to make her mine.”

Gosh, ever since watching the spy character Robert Scorpio on General Hospital in the eighties, I have been such a sucker for an Aussie guy – and you’ve got one in spades! Now, which airline am I likely to find him on … 🙂
Hehe, thank Geralyn. My Aussie hero, Gabriel, will make your heart palpitate, for sure. 🙂
He’s dreamy!
Hmmm, yes, I think so too!
Gabriel sounds very sexy and romantic *swoon*
Thanks Meredith, he’s a complicated man but he brings the sexy alright!
Stranded in Singapore – now I’m intrigued!
Yay, that’s what I like to hear. There’s a big typhoon, planes are grounded, and you know, one thing leads to another…
