Brianna's friend Gayle meets Roger
I love this description of Roger. It made me picture Roger as a cross of (a young) Hugh Jackman and (a young) Colin Farrell. Much as I like RR as Roger, I still picture Roger like this. YUM!!

At this awkward moment, Roger Wakefield appeared. He wore a white shirt and scruffy jeans, and Brianna must have stiffened at the sight of him. Gayle’s head whipped round to see where Brianna was looking.
“Ooh,” she said in delight. “Is that him? He looks like a pirate!”
He did, and Brianna felt the bottom of her stomach drop another inch or two. Roger was what her mother called a Black Celt, with clear olive skin and black hair, and “eyes put in with a sooty thumb” – thick black lashes round eyes you expected to be blue but were instead a surprising deep green. With his hair worn ling enough to brush his collar, disheveled and beard-stubbled, he looked not only rakish but mildly dangerous…..
He met her halfway and swept her almost off her feet, hugging her hard enough to crack her ribs. He kissed her, stopped, and kissed her again, the stubble of his beard scraping her face. He smelled of soap and sweat and he tasted like Scotch whisky and she didn’t want him to stop.
Then he did and let go, both of them half breathless.
