Doug and Scott McQueen

Post by gali »

Which of the two brothers was your favorite? It is a tough call for me, but I think Doug is my favorite.

I agree, I seemed to like Doug more. Scott seemed kind of immature at times. I have NO idea why, but the entire time reading this, I pictured those two brothers from HGTV where they flip houses, (Cant think of their names, lol)

Oh my gosh, yes! I kept trying to picture them as the brothers from Supernatural but it wasn't working. The brothers from HGTV seems much more accurate.

HA! I actually tried to picture Damon and Stefan from The Vampire Diaries but I just kept going back to those two property brothers guys!

I tried to picture them as Dean and Sam from supernatural as well but it wasn't working! I liked both brothers equally. They both had care and compassion about the job as well as their women. Gotta love a man who can love both!

This is so funny! I love these comments about my boys! They were loosely and I stress loosely based on Dean and Sam from Supernatural. I love that show and when I started writing the book, that's who was in my mind. I don't know who the construction guys are, but as I started writing, the guys took on personalities of their own and evolved into what they are. Yes, Scott is a little immature and he needs Sheila to take care of him but she likes that about him I think.

That's awesome! I have never watched Supernatural, but now I feel like I need to take a peek at those two characters to get a feel. Ha!

Both were good characters, but like others here, I liked Doug a little better than Scott. He seemed deeper and more mature.

I'd pick Doug. He's more mature plus he can cook. That's two birds with one stone.

Good choice! They both cook, but Doug's the better cook! You'll see Scott Cook in Book-2 a little.?

Yeah, there's a scene where Sheila is ribbing Scott a little because he never cooks for her. She wants to watch him cook. It's cute. ?
