Valentine’s Day has come and gone, but that doesn’t mean I can’t talk about my book boyfriends. I decided to do the Book Boyfriend Tag because if I just talked about my book boyfriends in general, we’d probably be here all day, to be honest. But, who cares? Let’s talk about the cute boys!
Most Romantic Boyfriend

Darrow. I mean, would I necessarily call him romantic? Probably not. But, he’s a total romantic in my mind, so it counts. Plus, he’ll probably give amazing pep talks and speeches when I need encouragement and/or I’m low on self-esteem. Have you read the Red Rising series? #inspirationgoals

Dark and Moody Bad Boy with a Good Side

Warner. A.K.A. The only good thing to come from the Shatter Me trilogy. Of course, pretty much everyone was wary of Warner when he first popped up in Shatter Me, but the more you get to learn about his character, the more you just fall in love with him. He’s probably one of the few bad boys in fiction that I don’t roll my eyes at.

Paranormal Boyfriend

Percy Jackson. You’re probably thinking, “How is Percy paranormal?” He’s a demigod. That’s totally not human, so, again, counting it. I mean, do I really need to explain why Percy Jackson is the best book boyfriend ever? He’s funny and kind and look at how he treats Annabeth! Give me sweethearts over bad boys any day.

Boyfriend You Want to Tame

Kaz Brekker, of course. I mean, I’m not going to try to stop him from going on heists and being a criminal because that’s what makes him awesome, but, you know, he could take me on a date once in a while. Just saying.

Boy You Friend-Zoned

Noah Shaw. I don’t have time for wimpy bad boys who sleep with every girl in the high school, and then spout Edward Cullen-like sentences because “I’m not like other girls.” Barf.

Your Soul Mate

Rowan Whitethorn. He’s my top book boyfriend of all time, and even though I love him with Aelin and they’re the most perfect couple ever, he’s meant for me and me only. Sorry, Aelin.

Boyfriend You Want to Elope With

Jem! I know so many people prefer Will over Jem, but, unpopular opinion: I don’t like Will that much. Again, I always go for the sweethearts, and the violin is actually one of my favorite instruments to hear (I blame Lindsey Stirling). And look at the way he treats Tessa. He’s so perfect.

Boyfriend You’d Venture Anywhere With

Rhysand. Look at what happened when Feyre went with him instead of marrying Tamlin. She got to visit the freaking Night Court. To the Night Court I go!

Boyfriend You’d Want to Be Stranded on a Desert Island With

Thorne. He’s absolutely hilarious, plus, he and Cress already survived the Sahara, and that was when he was rendered blind. He’ll find us a way out (and, hopefully, he’ll realize I’m the one for him, not Cress, and he’ll fall in love with me and we’ll get married).

Most Badass Boyfriend

Nik. Um, who wouldn’t want a drug-dealing criminal to go around kicking everyone’s ass?Okay, he’s actually more of a sweetheart, and he was traumatized after he had to shoot a living human being, but, you know, I’d still totally want him on my side to protect me.
And that’s just a sneak peek of some of my book boyfriends! Too bad they don’t really exist and boys in real life always seem to just disappoint.
Also, I feel like I’m on a blogging and reading high right now! I’ve finally gotten back into reading, I’m back to writing reviews again (and I hate writing reviews, so this is a miracle), and I’m on break, so that means I can finish my posts for April (yes, I’m that far ahead)! #killingit
What are some of your book boyfriends? Do we share the same ones (if we do, I called dibs first)?
I feel the same way you feel about Rowan and Aelin about Lysandra and Aedion. They’re cute, but Aedion was meant for me.

Ahhh this post is perfect, once again! But I’m afraid I’m going to have to challenge you for most of these because they’re *my* book boyfriends. 😛 Haha I love all your choices, Jem is such a sweetheart! I do love Will equally as much though aha. Warner, Percy and Kaz though ahhhhh! ❤ ❤

Percy and Thorne are the ultimate bfs. I don’t know which one I would rather date though, they’re both so great with their respective partners.

I can’t choose between any of my book boyfriends; they’re all so wonderful and sweet and perfect. It’s a dilemma (even though they’re fictional, but that doesn’t matter here). 😂

These are great picks Mikaela, and I agree with most of them. I think Darrow would be amazing at pep talks and although yeah I wouldn’t necessary call him romantic either I do think he fits that question quite well actually. Thorne would be the ultimate person to be stuck on a desert island; he’d be able to come up with a way off before too long as well.
Basically all your picks are amazing, and I completely agree with all of them (except Noah Shaw because I haven’t read the book he’s in so can’t really offer my opinion on him (gotta say though from what you posted about him I’m not impressed)).

Yes, Darrow is just so encouraging. ❤ And I feel like Thorne would be able to get us off an island. 😝 I wouldn’t mind be stuck with him either. 😉
Ha, I didn’t like the series either, so I don’t recommend? But everyone else seems to love him and the series, so I’m in the minority. 😂 The Goodreads reviews seem to mirror my feelings, though.

Honestly if Thorne can’t get us off the island then we’d have no hope would we? Either way he’d be the best person of the lot to be stranded with.
It’s not really on my to-read list so I’m unlikely to get around to it anyways. I can barely get through the books that are on my to-read list! 😀
