~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The Winner of Match #16 is Kaidan!



ATTENTION!
The Dukes have spoken and they are demanding action from YOU! Kaidan Rowe, son of Pharzuph, Duke of Lust, is up for 2013's Debut boy in the YA Crush Tourney and they are demanding that he win! You wouldn't want to upset Lucifer's head demons now... would you? Kaidan's up against some stiff competition so Pharzuph and the other Dukes have recruited me, Kayleigh from K-Books along with the #KaidanStreetTeam to tell you why he deserves to be crowned 2013's champion!

Kaidan Rowe is the hottest of the HOTT!

 Kai is the son of the head demon of Lust... of course he is HOTT! What girl can resist the super gorgeous, confident, lustful Kaidan with his messy brown hair, blue eyes and ENGLISH ACCENT! Oh yes... you heard me... English Accent! Rather that tell you all about Kai... Let's see what Anna Whitt has to say... "Good gracious, he was sexy - a word that had not existed in my personal vocabulary until that moment. This guy was sexy like it was his job or something." He is TT worthy... "He was smokin' hot. As in H-O-T-T hott. I'd never understood until that moment why girls insisted on adding the extra T. This guy was extra T worthy." You can get lost in his swoon-worthy eyes... "Gosh, his eyes were gorgeous - the color of tropical honeymoon waters ringed in dark sapphire and enclosed by thick lashes" He even makes fruit sexy! "That's a shame," he picked up a green pear from his plate and bit into it, licking juice that dripped down him thumb. My cheeks warmed as I set down my glass. "Okay now you're just being crude." I said. He grinned with lazy satisfaction. Now don't tell Pharzuph and the other Dukes I said this but... *Looks around and moves closer*

  Deep down Kaidan is really a sweetheart and uber Swoony!

 Yes Kaidan may be the epitome of snarky sexiness but deep down he is a sweetheart and he always puts the ones he loves before himself. In his own words... "Anna... the night of the summit, when you were saved, it was the only time in my life I've ever thanked God for anything." *SWOOOOONNNNN* NO matter what, he is swoon worthy and wants to be better... "Because all I could think about was you, Anna, and how good you are, and what you'd think of me. You put thoughts into my head that a Neph should never have." He makes every girl want freckles... "What do you want from me Kai?" "For starters?" His voice lowered to sexy, dangerous depths. "I want to introduce myself to every freckle on your body." 

DID I MENTION HE WAS THE SEXIEST NEPH AROUND?

His bedroom eyes... "Seriously" I whispered, unable to look away. "You're doing the bedroom-eyes thing again." He sleeps in the buff... "Dear God!" I screamed and buried my face in my pillow. "What?" I heard him ask. "Did you see a roach?" "Why are you naked?!" I did not dare to life my red face. "Huh. Is that all?" He asked. "I always sleep in the buff. I don't know how you can stand all that clothing."



HE IS A KICK-ASS DRUMMER

 Kaidan is the drummer in band Lavicious... "There was an intensity in the way he played, like he was unleashing his passion into the music and nothing else mattered. He was feeling it, lost in it, and he was good. A light sheen of sweat shone on his arms and face, dampening and darkening his hair at the temples." "Now, with the drummers' absence of aura, I was able to watch the muscles in his biceps and forearms flex as he slammed the drumsticks down in a whirlwind of precise movement. The beat was intoxicating, bumping each nerve ending inside of me. His whole body moved fluidly, jumping with the force of the beat, his face focused and sure."

He's even got girls writing poems and limericks about him!  Courtesy of @KatieOlley
So we know this real cute guy named Kai Who is so not the type to be shy He is H-O-T-T In the Crush Tourney he'll be So go vote for him and sigh for Kai!
You know he is epically awesome when girls are writing stuff about him!
Now I know you don't wanna get on the Dukes bad sides (all they have are bad sides) so.... Vote for the sexiest, most talented, musical, lustful Neph around. He created the word sexy, he is the epitome of HOTT, the secretly sweetest of them all, and the most swoon worthy of all of the book boys!

  VOTE TEAM KAIDAN ROWE... ... or suffer the consequences of the Dukes' Wrath. You have been warned!

Some of the Best Things About Tristan - 
One of the #1 things I love about Tristan is that he’s not perfect. This dude is flawed and real. Get that ladies? Tristan could be a guy that you could actually find and fall in love with. (If you are extremely freakin lucky!!)  Trust me, there is no way you aren’t falling head over heels for Tristan. This guy is so funny and witty. He will sweep you into his personality spell and not let you go.


“Well, don't you find it just a little bit twisted that He made a ah...promiscuous reprobate and a chaste ingenue rather perfect for each other, threw them together without warning and then for kicks, He tossed in an inordinate amount of sexual attraction and tension into the mix?  It's like He's created His own warped version of Thunderdome.  I'll bet He's even got Himself a bag of popcorn.” - Tristan, Shark Bait Chapter 24 - God Has A Wicked Sense Of Humor

He does amazing things like; asks a girl out with a quote from her favorite TV show, remembers the song that was playing the first time they kissed (and exactly how long it was), and adopts lost kittens to make them his babies.

Swoon! It’s not often that a guy shows his sentimental side, but this guy has one, and when it comes out I become a puddle of goo at his feet! The whiteboard in his room, the "Wall of Infamy," is a constant source of his humor and his sentimentality!

Tristan’s Mom: What are these?
Tristan: Your granddaughters.
Tristan’s Dad: Don’t worry honey, you don’t look old enough to be a mother let alone a grandmother.
Tristan’s Mom: Again with the flattery, thank you dear. Where did they come from?
Tristan: Camie gave birth last night.
Jeff: I didn’t know she was pregnant.
Tristan: She wasn’t. It was a miracle.
Tristan’s Mom: Do they have names?
Tristan: Phineas and Ferb.
Jeff: From the cartoon?
Tristan’s Dad: That figures, he named the dog Scooby.
Tristan’s Mom: They sound like boy names.
Tristan: Mom! Shhh, you’ll give them a complex.
~Wall of Infamy, Shark Bait - Epilogue

As for his looks, Tristan is…

  • Tall (6'4”)
  • Super Tan
  • Long Light Brown Hair, sun streaked, that lays in a layered mess.
  • Blue Eyed (we are talking cerulean) with thick lashes.
  • Sculpted Powerful Body, but not bulky.
  • Athlete (Surfer, Swimmer, Water Polo, MotoCross, Lifeguard and more!)
"So how cute is he? Are we talking moderately drool worthy or, ‘hey Cujo, you’re foaming at the mouth?’” She asked and straightened the ears on one of the bunny slippers she was wearing.
“Jilly, he’s Taylor Kitsch hot. In fact, he looks just like Taylor Kitsch with light brown hair and blue eyes. I’m not even kidding.”
“Dang, really?”
Let me explain. Taylor Kitsch is the king of my “Hot Guy Island.” And I really wasn’t exaggerating; Tristan actually does look a lot like him. Besides, by using him as an illustration, Jillian can now appreciate how gorgeous Tristan is, too, because I don’t compare normal people to my favorite hot actor. EVER.
“Yeah, really, so don’t go running for the shotgun when you think I have rabies." ~Camie & Jillian, Shark Bait Chapter 5 - That's Real Dedication To The Cause
YUUUMMM!!!!

Basically Tristan is a sexy ass mother, and I want to have his babies.  I'm normally not really good at sharing, but there can never be too many of Tristan's Bitch Slaves, so in this case I'm willing.




SMART AND SEXY - Tristan has the brain to outshine even his body!!  This boy keeps straight As, and he READS - is there anything better than a sexy guy who reads???

He actually got you pressed up against him with his arm around you under the guise of reading a book you both probably have memorized and he did it front of everybody!
~Kate, Shark Bait Chapter 4 - The Events Of Today Pertaining To Tristan Daniels

There are a million things I could tell you to convince you that Tristan is the #1 guy around here, but you don't just have to take my word for it.

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE #TEAMTRISTAN - 
ACCORDING TO THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW HIM BEST.
(Grab Your Pole Series Characters)

“Tristan Daniels is one of the best people I know. My very first kiss was with him and I was so petrified right before it happened that I even blurted out that I’d never kissed anyone before, but instead of laughing at me or making me feel stupid or immature, he put me at ease and gave me a beautiful memory that will last a lifetime. He’s honest and kind, and is always one of the first people to step up to offer his help and support. I treasure our friendship and know that I can count on him in everything.” ~ Melissa Matthews, Friend & Co-captain of Varsity Cheer 

“For a teenager, the boy exhibits a great deal of responsibility and respect. His employment status as a California State Beach Lifeguard is a testament to his character of course, but his understanding of mechanics and cars is to be admired also, and the respect he uses in regard to vehicle safety isn’t typical of someone his age in my opinion. I find him to be mature beyond his years and twice he’s more than proven to be the kind of person I wouldn’t hesitate to trust with the safety and lives of my children.” ~ Kevin Ramsey, Father to Camie & Jillian

“In my opinion, as his girlfriend’s sister, Tristan is an incredibly tolerant individual. Although his extensive dealings and vast experience with the female race might suggest otherwise, the relationship between Tristan and my sister is the first of its kind for both of them and I believe the patience and understanding Tristan has exhibited in regard to that to be remarkable, especially taking into account Camie’s lack of being equally educated in boy-girl scenarios and the insecurity that breeds within her. Not only that, but he’s proven extraordinarily devoted to her as well, and his care and concern for her wellbeing is also something that shouldn’t go unnoticed. He makes every effort to ensure she’s his first priority and he does all manner of little things just to make her smile, the big, sentimental doofus.” ~ Jillian, Sister to Camie

“Tristan Daniels is a dick. He fights dirty and we’ve never been friends, but, a little while back he and I went through something where we both had to put our feelings about each other aside in order to help someone else. Like I know he’s a lifeguard and has literally saved lives before, but two times now I’ve witnessed firsthand what he can do for people in a life or death situation and based off those experiences, I can honestly say that when the serious shit goes down, I’d be one lucky son of a bitch to have him get my back. I mean even if he’s a dick, he’s also an honest to God hero and that’s just something that deserves everyone’s respect and recognition, you know?” Zack, Classmate

“I know Tristan better than anyone, including his own mother and best friend. I don’t think people realize the kind of pressure of expectation he lives up to each and every day. Everyone wants to know him in some way; girls love him and guys want to be him. He’s the kind of guy people look up to even if they’re jealous or afraid of him, and although he’s an extremely private person who doesn’t allow many people to get truly close, he’s not above giving people his time or being a mentor to those who hope to learn from him. And I’ll be perfectly frank with you here, he does have a temper and he can be a royal asshole every now and then too, and he’s most definitely arrogant and cocky in some aspects, but he’s not like that without reason and somehow, being that way doesn’t take away from his merits; it only strengthens many of them. But even then, the strength most people see in him is only a fraction of what’s on the inside. He works hard and plays hard, and with a passion that is truly unparalleled. His sense of humor and loyalty to his teammates, friends, and loved ones are two of his attributes that never fail to be seen, his heart can never be questioned by anyone who truly knows him, and there’s no one else on this planet I trust more than him. He was nominated and consistently held a seat in the top seven in all three of the categories he qualified for in this tournament, and speaking as someone who knows him as well as I do and who was also nominated and held a top 10 seat in one of the categories with him, I feel I can say with certainty that the nominating voters got it right. Tristan Daniels rightly deserved his spot in the tournament and honestly, I really believe he deserves to win the whole fuckin’ thing.” ~ Pete, Close Friend & Captain of Varsity Baseball

Let's hear what a few of Tristan's biggest fans have to say about him.

"I love that he is SO much more than he lets on - i.e. there's depth to him that goes beyond how incredibly gorgeous, talented, and awesome he is."  ~ Allura @ Tea Cups & Bookends

"I loved that Tristan was willing to do anything to get Camie. Dating was whole new territory for him, so it was really endearing to see him struggle and reach out to others for help. Also, he’s really freaking hot." ~ Megan @ Reading Books Like a Boss

"I think my favorite thing about Tristan is that he doesn't sugarcoat shit.  He is so real and honest (just like his maker).  He can be a sweetheart when he wants to be and I REALLY found it refreshing to hear his voice in the prologue to Shark Bait (of course I didn't realize that until his confession later in the book).  I think I reread that section a lot.  He was just so taken by Camie...SWOON!" ~NicM001

"To try and sum up in one small quote exactly why I love Tristan Daniels is near impossible. Obviously he's hot, I have a soft spot for boys with dark hair and blue eyes. Can I get a YUM?! I also really love the fact how realistic and imperfect he is. He can be really sweet and loving but he also makes mistakes and that makes it so much easier to relate to him as a person and love him for it. He's sarcastic, hilarious, handsome, and just a fun guy to read about. It was an easy choice to pick my favorite guy for the YA Crush Tourney." ~Kylee @ Babbling of a Bookaholic
