Welcome! Welcome! Swoony Saturdays are your opportunity to be introduced to a book hero who fits high quality hero characteristics. (okay, so he just makes us weak in the knees for all kinds of reasons, but you get the point)
The photos involved are chosen as the most representative of the heroes featured, so IF they look like someone you’ve seen before, that’s almost entirely accidental.
Earlier this week I posted a review for A Note Yet Unsung (you can find my review HERE). Next we travelled to Nashville with Book Journeys to visit Belmont Mansion (travel with us HERE). And today, we are swooning over the hero…Tate.
Who? Nathaniel Tate Whitcomb
Where can we find this dreamboat? A Note Yet Unsung by Tamera Alexander (Bethany House Publishers 2017)
Personality summary: Nationally acclaimed conductor Nathaniel Tate Whitcomb is Nashville’s new orchestra leader. And despite a reluctant muse–and a strange buzzing and recurring pain in his head–he must finish composing his symphony before the grand opening of the city’s new opera hall. But far more pressing, he must finish it for the one who first inspired his love of music–his father, who is dying. As Tate’s ailment worsens, he believes Rebekah can help him finish his symphony. But how do you win back a woman’s trust when you’ve robbed her of her dream? (From the back of the book)
What makes us swoon?
MUSIC! He is a musician, need I say more?
Not only is he a musician, he is a nationally acclaimed conductor!
He is a serious, brooding sort.
Beth Erin says: “Rebekah and Tate made music together (literally) which was quite HOT like ‘you complete me’ good!”
He’s a moody fella, but, oh so tender with his family.
Fiercely loyal.
Rebecca Maney says: “(He is) complex, but he has his reasons.”
Gifted Musician…Wait did I say that already?
Toni Shiloh says: “Protective and debonair.”
He is a Godly man!
The mountain music will make you swoon indeed!
Though his relationship with Rebekah begins with discord, they learn to work together to complete Tate’s symphony.
Kissing level of such swooniness: They didn’t kiss much but the sparks were definitely flying. After conferring with fellow Tate fans, we decided on a solid 3 “May forget to breathe.”
Basic hero type: Tate is definitely a Darcy-ish character. His serious, brooding nature coupled with his fierce loyalty makes him a top notch swoony hero!

Kissing Levels & Hero Types
I loved Tate’s character. Fiercely loyal…YES! That’s enough to make me swoon. Devotion is highly attractive. 🙂 There’s something about a man who’d move heaven and earth to keep a promise to you. Anyways, I loved this book. The twists and turns that kept me turning the pages. Can’t wait for her next one!
Rachel! SAME!!!!! I think that’s one of the reasons I LOVE Samwise Gamgee so much 🙂 Not ‘swoony’ but so faithful
I have been reading Tamera Alexander’s books since Rekindled came out. She is one of my favorite authors!
She writes beautifully
