Are there songs that make you think of certain books or characters when you hear them?
The first song I heard when I got in the car today was “Sex On Fire“ by Kings of Leon. I immediately thought of Christian Grey. Oh Mr. Grey, I think it is time to reread The Fifty Shades of Grey Series by E.L. James.
Whenever I listen to “Iris“ by The Goo Goo Dolls I have Remington Tate from Real, Mine and Remy by Katy Evans on my mind. It is such a perfect song for such a fantastic series.
My mother was recently humming “Besame Mucho” and my thoughts immediately went to Professor Gabriel Emerson from my favorite trilogy: Gabriel’s Inferno, Gabriel’s Rapture and Gabriel’s Redemption by Sylvain Reynard.
The song “Say Something“ by Christina Aguilera and A Great Big World makes me think of how much I love Donovan Hart in A Gentleman’s Affair and A Gentleman’s Secret by A.J. Lynn. I can’t wait to read more of his fascinating male point of view.
“Pour Some Sugar on Me“ by Def Leppard takes me back to the sexy Cash Davenport in Down to You (The Bad Boys Series) by Michelle Leighton.
There are other songs that also remind me of characters. While the author may not have used songs in their book, certain songs fit the personalities of those loved characters.
One such character I love is Paul Jensen from Prodigal Son by Michelle Day. “Bad to The Bone“ by George Thorogood pretty much summarizes the cheeky Paul.
Well, these are just some of my favorites.
Which songs remind you of any of the characters in books you have read?

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
