There Is Something No One Has Mentioned..if Jb Is Druid And Meant To Be With Mac, Why

[Deja]

If JB is truly Druid and Mac is meant to be with him as his mate, why hasn't he experienced that special feeling and heard that sound ~MINE~ All of our KMM Druid males have so far haven't they? JB has been in close quarters and touching episodes with Mac several times and there was no such reaction..Could it be that V'Lane will be the next Fae bad boy (like Adam was) queen Abby loses to a Human woman??

Dont blame me! :happy0194:

[Pyxie]

LOL! I was just thinking this EXACT same thing a few minutes ago, but then I realized we have no idea at this point what JZB is feeling/thinking, it's all from Mac's POV only.

He could be stomping around thinking MINE MINE MINE and calling V'lane pernicious fae because he's jealous. 'Course you never know with KMM...we are only in 1 of a 5 book series, V'lane could get the spoils once everything is said and done! :D

[Deja]

Yes Pyxie,

I am just wondering IF Mac is JB's mate how has he been able to control himself with her so long? We know Dageus was somewhat cursed so he held back from taking Chloe to bed to protect her from his possibly losing control with the 13 inside him and hurting her. He already knew he loved her, and she was THE ONE! But JB has come no where near these emotions that he has disclosed has he?

[Cheryle]

That we know if JB has not come close to these emotions but we are only getting to know him, this is a longer series unlike the highlanders. Although I am not convinced JB is Fae or Druid, I am still of the belief he is something unique and special and possibly bad and maybe redeemable. To many notions going on in my brain.

[Deja]

I have read several good guesses about what JB is; I'll bet he is going to be a combination of mythical races........Hurry October!!

Ain't that the truth! The list is endless for JZB - Fae/Dark Fae/U.King/Druid/Vilkacis/Vampire - the speculation has been endless, and I bet it is only going to increase with BF. Karen is probably:happy0194:right now, she is the only one who knows!

I agree with you Cheryle that JZB is something unique and special, and maybe redeemable. I certainly hope so! I'm so intrigued, I'd hate for him to turn into serial killing dark fae! :crying-vi:

[Liberty]

I think because this series is less on the romantic fiction side and more on just the fiction side, the story is bigger than just Mac and JB at least that's my impression. Besides it's first person so it's hard to tell if JB feels it or not because we're only hearing Mac's side of the story. Who knows, maybe JB and Mac aren't suppose to be together.

Who knows, maybe JB and Mac aren't suppose to be together.

Okay - posting my two cents for what it's worth

This has been my theory all along - at least for now. I really don't feel any "heat" between them. I see their relationship at this point in time as more teacher/student. I know there are some instances of thoughts, or looking - but that is pretty typical given the proximity of the two of them and the circumstances that have brought them together. I really kind of feel like they don't even really like each other that much.

Now - having said all of that - I am open to the possibility of them getting together at a later time. (I kind of am holding out for a character that we haven't met yet coming in and sweeping Mac off her feet! - maybe one of the hinted at MacKelters that we have yet to meet). Once Mac grows up ALOT, and Jericho comes clean about who/what he is and why he is after the book. I really don't think at this point that Mac trusts Jericho - it seems more like they tolerate each other because they need too. I actually would be really disappointed if they did get together in Bloodfever - to me, it would be too much too soon.

(Bear in mind here that I have not read the booklet and may not be privy to some of the information that makes you all think that they are a done deal!)

I will add that my daughter read Darkfever last week and when I asked her her opinion on Mac and Jericho (without giving her mine first) her response was - No way, she is too young for him and he doesn't even like her. Guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. :03:

[melissa]

Wow - I got kind of preachy there, sorry to be so long winded. :th_duhhhh-vi:

[Aislynn]

I have wondered about the druid-mate pairing thing with Mac & JB myself. It doesn't feel right. JB seems very focused, methodical, and controlled. I have wondered if at some point JB has drank the immortality elixir. The human becomes immortal but leads a soulless existance.

[Amie]

I'm pretty into JB at this point, so I'll admit that I would really like to see him with Mac later on. BUT, we've only had book #1 so far, and even after having read the booklet -- it's just the first 3 chapters of book #2 -- just about anything can still happen. Someone new *might* come in later on. With that said, I would be surprised if our hero didn't make it into the first book. For now, I'm all for JB, be he druid, werewolf, vamp, or other unusual being.

Oooh. I didn't even think about that. Maybe that's what he meant by being damned.


Yeah, I agree with Melissa on the Mac and JB relationship. I sense some sexual tension here and there but nothing of love or romance, just pure lust. We'll just have to see.

Nice! That had not occured to me! :happy0158:

This is why I love it here, you get to look at the characters from everyone else's POV.

Wow that was totally off my radar. Love that idea a lot!

I am a JB and Mac fan though I want them together in the end at least at this point although KMM can totally change my mind. I will have to see with each book how I feel in the end, I am a little flightly and can change with the wind LOL.

Well, Mac certainly mentions feeling a "sizzle" whenever he touches her, on more than one occasion. And who knows what JB is thinking, all we get is his behavior, but Mac mentions a few "hungry" looks...mostly at her breasts. We don't KNOW that his body isn't growling "Mine!"

ABSOLUTELY!!!!!! :happy0158:

[rednay]

I've had a little theory that JZB is hiding something from Mac about his nature that's dark. If that makes sense! I think Fiona knows what he is too. Anyway, I think he may be either an Unseelie Prince or perhaps some type of dark creature ie a vampire. I don't think he wants to care about Mac but he finds he can't help himself. That's why he kissed her when he thought she was unconscious. My thinking is that when they finally do get together those pages will be smokin! KMM is saving the sex on this series for a reason and I think it's a big buildup kind of thing. Perhaps Mac will be his redeemer or saviour. Someone who can reach him in a way that no one else has ever been able to. That's my 2 cents (and probably what it's worth)

Also, this story is told from first person only. We won't really get any insights into the characters that were used to from the Highlander books. So everything we know is what Mac has heard, seen, or thought. So JB's body may be screaming up and down MINE! MINE! MINE! and we just don't know it. :) How fun would that be??? His body can scream that about me! :drool-vi:

[Pyxie]

yeah she does mention that 'sizzle' the Keltar Druids are so famous for. Hmmm...:33:

I feel dizzy, my head is spinning with all the different possibilities.

[MeShelle]

Well we dod nt really have any way of knowing how JB feels bout Mac.... In all the other novels we see both point of views yet in fever its just Mac.. We have no way of knowing if JB had a MINE moment

[Kelly]

I personally feel that our HERO will either be JB or one of the "new" McKelters we haven't met yet.
V'lane just doesn't feel right for anything other than a good ****!

I did like the idea that maybe at some point JB drank the elixer of life!! Good one! Sorry I can't remember who posted that!:2v-vi:

[Pyxie]

Yeah, it's still early in the series, but I agree that V'lane just seems so one dimentional, I can't imagine him having enough substance to be our hero.

JZB might not be the 'one'. (i'm hoping though) but I don't see Karen making another MacKelter our hero, she has even said herself that this story is supposed to be different, if she makes MacKeltar/Druid/Highlander our hero isn't that really the same as the other stories with just a little different twist to it?

*This is just speculation if I am wrong I will happily eat my words, as long as I have Bloodfever in my hands and a good bottle of Merlot! ;-)

This is where JB reminds me of Grimm. Grimm wanted Jillian but he thought he was damned so he wouldn't act on his feelings until absolutely pushed to do so. I think JB has shown an interest in Mac. As others have said Darkfever is written from her side, not JB's. However; he is protective, he likes her bed head, she sizzles when he touches her, and in the teasers when he says she will have to get a new bedroom, and didn't he tear up the store? If that isn't caring what is? If he thinks he is damned or has an agenda to finish and can't let emotions get in his way; maybe this is how he feels he has to act? I don't know that they will wind up frogging, only KMM does,(I really really hope they do) but if they do....WHEW...that will be some reading and visual.:th_read::th_blush:

[waiting for my highlander]

I think V'Lane is just too dangerous for Mac. She should be paying attention to the man who saves her time after time.

[MeShelle]

I dont know im hoping she stays with JB but it seems to predictable .... I will hold my opinion until i read more

[Pyxie]

I think V'Lane is just too dangerous for Mac. She should be paying attention to the man who saves her time after time.

I agree. I think he is going to become more complex as the story evolves, maybe even a bit evil. But I'm hoping in the end, Mac will remember all he's done to keep her alive. Besides a man doesn't polish a woman's nails just because she told him too! Never happened for me anyway! :03:

:happy_face_waving: BTW! Welcome aboard! Hope you post your opinions often! It's a lot of fun here.

[Dansgirl1]

You all remember about that time you had the boy who would tug on your hair, or something like that, to let you know that he liked you? What if that is what JB is doing with Mac? What if his little antics (i.e., the carpet, tearing apart the store, etc.) are his way of showing Mac that he likes her? Sorry if this has already been said...and also I don't the booklet, but I had to post my thoughts.
P.S. Thanks for the laughs and intriguing thoughts lady :D

JB reminds me of Grimm too. The brooding, stoic, quiet type that comes to the rescue when needed but otherwise just hangs in the sidelines.

Yeah - I think he does do those things out of love for Mac, but if he does them, he's not doing it 'to show her' - I don't think he can help himself. Maybe, like Grimm, he lets the emotion build up to where he can't help doing something. EVen the boys in 5th grade, I don't think, were conciously aware of 'why' they were pulling the girl's hair. Only with JZB, he probably knows why, but doesn't want to open himself up to it yet. IMHO!

ps welcome to the board, and post more often! I think Leiha said the booklet was avialable for free in bookstores now, so get out there and find it! You'll enjoy those first few chapters for some real gems, character-wise. Like the interview between JZB and ... well - you'll have to see for yourself!

Okay so, I have absolutely no idea where Mac and JB are headed. BUT did anyone else notice (there maybe like 2 parts, one sentence each) where JB touches Mac and she "feels something" like lightening i think it once says. One example is in Ch. 11 when they are going to see McCabe and he escorts her, and also towards the end when he kisses her, she says it was unlike any other kiss. There's more but I dont really feel like going through the whole book :a20: Anyway, it could be possible that these "feelings" could be significant, and perhaps signs that there is (at the very least) a molecular connection.

Just something i noticed

I agree - and I love the analogy! While he may be ancient and intense, I l;ike thinking about JZB acting a little boyish. Strangely enough, it kinda fits!
