When Calls the Heart Blog Party // Day 2 // Guest Post

Hey everyone! Welcome to day two of the party! Today Faith is guest posting on my blog and I’ll be over on her blog. We will be discussing none other than the two men in Elizabeth’s life: Lucas and Nathan!

Now before you go on to read Faith’s thoughts on this matter please know that I do not endorse all that will be said today on my blog. ;)

We were literally feuding last night over text...Okay not really, it’s all in good fun.

Now, onto the guest post!

--------------------------------------------------

 Are you Team Lucas or Team Nathan?

This has been the ongoing debate between some Hearties for a while now—ever since Jack’s death, the arrival of both fellows to Hope Valley, and the beginning of the love triangle. Then the questions began and teams formed. Who should Elizabeth end up with? Mountie Nathan Grant or saloon owner Lucas Bouchard?

Rebekah and I thought it would be fun to come up with some (semi unbiased) pros and cons for each guy. Because, as you already know if you read our collaboration post yesterday, we are on opposite sides of the debate. It makes for some fun conversations. ;)

Okay, here goes!

LUCAS BOUCHARD

~pros~

• If charming, well-dressed, mustached dudes are your thing, he’s attractive. (Personally, guys in suits aren’t my thing, but we shall see.)

• He’s a business owner, so there’s some monetary security in that, I suppose. Unless Canada goes dry... ;)

• Through his mother, he has connections to the publishing world and could help Elizabeth get her writing published.

~cons~

• He was involved in some shady dealings in the past that weren’t fully divulged. Like, the money in the fish thing... What was with that?

• Bill Avery, who is one of my WCTH favs, seems to dislike Lucas. Since Bill and Jack were close and he’s dedicated to looking after Elizabeth and Jack Jr., I trust his judgement.

• Pushing the boundaries of their burgeoning friendship, he submitted some of her work to a potential publisher without asking her if it was okay. Some people don’t have a problem with this, and honestly, I can see both sides. But personally, I would be upset if a guy I was interested in did the same to me.

NATHAN GRANT

(You know what they say about saving the best for last...)

 ~pros~

• Can we go ahead and give him bonus points simply because he’s a Mountie? Because I’m all about the uniform, y’all. Plus the whole “protects people for a living thing”? Very attractive.

• He’s raising his niece, Allie, so he understands something about being a parent. Also attractive.

• He is so handsome. I mean, c’mon. The hair. The smile. The great personality.

~cons~

• So back to the Mountie thing... I love the main guy of the show being a Mountie in early seasons. I would love to see Elizabeth with a Mountie again. But I’m not too blinded by the handsome man that I can’t see the other side of things. I’m sure, having lost one husband to service in the RCMP, it would be hard to be with another man who wears the same red serge.

• Elizabeth would become step-mom to a preteen girl, which I’m sure would take some adjusting since she already has a baby and teaches school.

• He still seems to be carrying some emotional baggage and unresolved feelings toward his convict father.

Okay, so... if you weren’t already convinced, you should be now... so, Team Lucas or Team Nathan?
