1.
James Carstairs, The Infernal Devices series - I
usually fall hard in love with any bad boy. Surprisingly, this was not the case
with this series. I adore Jem with my whole being, and his sweet, kind, and
wonderful heart completely won me over.
His eyes went soft and silver as
she spoke. “Zhe shi jie shang, wo shi zui
ai ne de,” he whispered. She understood it. In all the world, you are what I love the most.
2.
Warner, Shatter Me series – Mafi did what I always
thought would never happen. She made me fall for the villain. Seems impossible,
right? Wrong. There is more depth to Warner than anyone I’ve ever read about,
and he is a good, good man who just needs some TLC.
“I want so
many things,” he whispers. “I want your mind. Your strength. I want to be worth
your time.” His fingers graze the hem of my top and he says “I want this up.”
He tugs on the waist of my pants and says “I want these down.” He touches the
tips of his fingers to the sides of my body and says “I want to feel your skin
on fire. I wat to feel your heart racing next to mine and I want to know it’s
racing because of me, because you want me. Because you never,” he says, he
breathes, “never want me to stop. I want every second. Every inch of you. I
want all of it.”
3.
Daemon Black, Lux series – Daemon is full of
sarcastic comments, but also the sweetest moments ever. He is fierce
protective, and after Opal I would not want to be his enemy.
“I love you, Katy.
Always have. Always will.”
“I always figured a
demon would kill me,” he said. “A rogue Downworlder. A battle. But I realized
then that I just might die if I didn’t get to kiss you, and soon.”
Clary licked her dry
lips. “Well, you did,” she said. “Kiss me, I mean.”
He reached up and
took a curl of her hair between his fingers. He was close enough that she could
feel the warmth of his body, smell his soap and skin and hair.
“Not enough,” he
said, letting her hair slip through his fingers. “If I kiss you all day every
day for the rest of my life, it won’t be enough.”
“My
name is Ashallyn'darkmyr Tallyn, third son of the Unseelie Court...Let it be
known--from this day forth, I vow to protect Meghan Chase, daughter of the
Summer King, with my sword, my honor, and my life. Her desires are mine. Her
wishes are mine. Should even the world stand against her, my blade will be at
her side. And should it fail to protect her, let my own existence be forfeit.
This I swear, on my honor, my True Name, and my life. From this day on..."
His voice went even softer, but I still heard it as though he whispered it into
my ear. "I am yours.”
I trail my fingers
across his cheek. He stays perfectly still for me. “Please stop apologizing,
Étienne.”
“Say my name again,”
he whispers.
I close my eyes and
lean forward. “Étienne.”
He takes my hands
into his.Those perfect hands, that fit mine just so. “Anna?”
Our foreheads touch.
“Yes?”
“Will you please tell
me you love me? I’m dying here.”
And then we’re
laughing. And then I’m in his arms, and we’re kissing, at first quickly—to make
up for lost time—and then slowly, because we have all the time in the
world. And his lips are soft and honey sweet, and the careful, passionate way
he moves them against my own says that he savors the way I taste, too.
And in between
kisses, I tell him I love him.
Again and again and
again.
7.
Adrian Ivashkov, Bloodlines series – I heart
Adrian so badly. I loved him even as a crazy party boy in Vampire Academy, but
I fell for him even more when I realized that he has much more to him than I
ever could have guessed. Who knew this boy would ever dirty his hands to
protect his girl?
“But when I’m around
you, I want to be better because…well, because it feels right. Because I want
to. You make me want to become something greater than myself. I want to excel.
You inspire me in every act, every word, every glance. I look at you, and
you’re like…like light made into flesh.
8.
Noah Shaw, Mara Dyer series – I have such a huge
thing for a playboy who completely changes his ways for a girl. Noah is so
smexy with his British accent and his tousled goodness, but inside he is just
as great.
“You're the
girl who called me an asshole the first time we spoke. The girl who tried to
pay for lunch even after you learned I have more money than God. You're the
girl who risked her ass to save a dying dog, who makes my chest ache whether
you're wearing green silk or ripped jeans. You're the girl that I--" Noah
stopped, then took a step closer to me. "You are my girl.”
9.
Peregrine, Under the Never Sky series – Perry
may not be the sexiest man or the best with words, but his is extremely
ruggedly good-looking and lovable in his own right. I honestly want my own
Perry.
Perry went still for
an instant; then he cinched her close, momentum sending them thudding into the
door behind him. He sank against it, bringing himself closer to her height,
kissing her with a sudden urgency. With a hunger that she matched. His lips
moved to her neck and trailed up to her ear, and the world fell away. She
gasped and dug her fingers into his shoulders, pulling him closer-
10.
Tobias Eaton, Divergent series – Tobias is such a great guy. My favorite thing about
him is the fact that he is a rock for Tris. He lets her make her own decisions,
no matter if he agrees or not, but he always backs her and does his best to
protect her.
“We're all
right, you know,' he says quietly. 'You and me. Okay?' My chest aches, and I
nod. 'Nothing else is all right.' His whisper tickles my cheek. 'But we are.”
Ah, I wish I could marry all of the fabulous men! Comment and let me know what you think. Also leave links!
