After reading Dark Celebration, what was your first impression of Manolito?
I have mixed opinions of this man. On one hand he is underhanded, sneaky, and just plain devious. The way he snuck into the bathroom and marked MaryAnn just doesn't sit well with me at all. He deceived everyone, he is hiding, and basically stalking her like prey rather than stepping up and introducing her, and letting others know that she is his lifemate, as he should do. It reeks of dishonour to the max.
Yet, in other situations, he has acted with honor and integrity, so much so as to appear a very brave and sincere hero. He selflessly gave his life for his pronce, more than once, and he sacrificed himself to save Shea in the Inn the night of the celebration. He is a walking contradiction, and he's very confusing.
I wish he would choose a persona and stick to it because he's confusing the heck out of me and it's annoying. I like him and I don't, *lol* .. in his actions toward the prince and his act of heroism and bravery are to his credit, and make him seem like a very good person yet his underhanded sneaky with MaryAnn.ways make me not want to trust him at all.
Confusing and frustrating!

I think he is even worse than Raphael so far. He is not acting at all in his lifemates best interest.

I love him. He IS a Carpathian male who has been looking for his lifemate for hundreds of years and now he has found her. Unfortunately for him, he is going have to change her opinion about Carpathian males and he certainly did not get a good start on that little project! LOL

I think he is hoping that no one but his brothers will be in South America and that they will support him. He is probably right.

lol I think destiny would want to stay as close to maryann as possiable, she was the only woman who ever got through to destiny and she is the only real friend she considers to having. I canr see her letting maryann go to Brazil with out her and nicolie, which means it could be harder for Monollito, but then again he would have his brothers to help, and the other 2 brothers could be just as worse, nicholas wanted Rafel to just take colby and be done with it, that she would eventually just get over it. Hopefully Monolito will come to the same relization that Rafel did, that she would not just get over it and she would always remember what he did. hopefully he will take his time once she is in Brazil.

I know. That is true about Destiny though. She would probably want to go to protect her. She knows how these Carpathian males are.

Without doubt it´ll be hot! A lot of action!
And I like that Manolito (and the others) have different aspects of personality ... after all, nobody is only black or white (except Vampires of course, but once they were "nice", too, so ...)

And because of talking about the De La Cruz Brothers .. I just finished Dark Secret and well ... even if I stand alone but Rafael wasn´t that bad, after all ... He didn´t claim Colby the first time and just forced her to his side, he tried to give her time ... and he was very cute with Ginny and with Paul, too, after all ... it´s just his temper being bossy and arrogant (like all the others ;-)) and he tried ... was hard for him ... for Colby, too, sure ...
Oh, I just like the De La Cruz!
