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.
Who? Josh Tyler
Where can we find this dreamboat? Then There Was You by Kara Isaac (Bellbird Press, June 2017) You can read my review HERE.
Ok…Ok…I know this is not Josh Tyler…But it’s Hugh Jackman. And he is Australian and look at that smile!
Personality summary: Josh Tyler is a man whose past has brought gravity to her personality but depth to his faith. As a musician in a band that performs all over the world, he’s used to being in the limelight but has also learned, due to painful circumstances, to guard his privacy. He wears a smile more readily than a frown…unless the heroine, Paige, is involved, but don’t worry – her proclivity for being unintentionally ridiculous turns Josh’s frown around. With a desire to do what is right, a love for family, music, and Jesus, he oozes a confidence which is seen best in his compassion with others.
What makes us swoon?
Blue Mountains – Australia
AUSTRALIAN!! (Everyone agrees that this is the top swoony feature 😉)
He’s a musician (guitar)
He can sing
He loves his family.
Loves people
Kind.
Great smile (this is a very swoony one for me. Smiles!! Sigh)
He’s gentle when it’s needed most.
Seriously, this guy is pretty adorable. Funny, confident, flirty…AND he loves Jesus!!!!!!
Kissing level of such swooniness: Okay, we don’t get a whole lot of kisses from Josh, but there’s a FANTASTICALLY notable one that happens in a certain ‘tunnel/hallway’. Unforgettable! Up there in the swoony charts. A solid 4.
Basic hero type: Josh can brood with the best of them but underneath is a very caring heart. I think brooding might not be his typical trait, so I’m placing him in the Wentworth (for grudge holding) with a dash of Knightly underneath. What do you think?
How can I meet this swoony mister?
You can find Josh Tyler in all his swoon worthy handsomeness in Kara Isaac’s most recent release, Then There Was You. You can check out my review HERE. And don’t miss out on the Book Journeys post featuring this beautiful country!

I met this brooding, swoony fellow a while back. One thing he did, in New Zealand, had me sobbing my eyes out clutching my kindle to my chest. After the tears stopped, I was able to read on. I love that this man had a Mom and sister that would remind him to be human (give him a swift kick in the rear if necessary).
Paige and Josh were a dynamic duo in the most literal sense; her clumsy-crazy and his swoony-broody kept me turning pages, for sure! And that ending!
It’s definitely on my list to read!
Um…yes. He is very swoon worthy!
