lists!
1.
Jace Wayland/Herondale/Lightwood, Mortal Instruments series: My Jace. I was under your spell ever since the first scene
in the Pandemonium Club. He is such a bad boy, and while he can be stupid, he is
always thinking of his overwhelming love for Clary.
“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.”
2.
Daemon Black, Lux series: While I wanted to stab
Daemon during most of Obsidian just like Katy, there were reasons for him
keeping the world at an arms length. He transformed into the worlds biggest
sweetheart, and I love him with all my heart. But don’t worry, he still has his
I-want-to-punch-him-in-the-face moments.
“I love you, Katy. Always have.
Always will.”
3.
Adrian Ivashkov, Bloodlines series: Poor, poor
Adrian. After having his fragile heart broken by Rose in the Vampire Academy
series, Sydney swooped in and stitched it back up to its original flawlessness.
Adrian is thoughtful and kind and would do anything for Sydney. Despite the
constant drinking and smoking that might not be attractive, Adrian is pure
perfection. I loved him in the Vampire Academy series, but now I absolutely
adore him!!!!!
“I said it on Halloween and meant
every word: you are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen walking this
earth. And you don’t even know it. You have no clue how beautiful you are or
how brightly you shine.”
4.
Noah Hutchins, Pushing the Limits: Noah was a
stoner, jerk, man-whore, and a slacker. But he is one of the sweetest boys I’ve
ever read about. Echo completely transformed him and turned him into a perfect
one-girl guy.
“I gazed
into her beautiful green eyes and her fear melted. A shy smile tugged at her
lips and at my heart. Fuck me and the rest of the world, I was in love.”
5.
Tamani, Wings series: Tamani is so faithful and
he only needed Laurel in his life to be happy. He would do absolutely anything
to protect her. He is quiet and reserved in how he projects his feelings, but
his love for Laurel consumes him and every action he takes.
“I've loved you for
a long time, ' she said. 'But there was always something holding me back. Maybe
it was that I was afraid of an emotion that was so consuming. It still
frightens me,' she admitted in a whisper.
Tamani chuckled.
'If it makes you feel any better, it scares the daylights out of me on a
regular basis.”
6.
Aiden St. Delphi, Covenant series: While I have
a total well-established thing/love for bad boys, good boy Aiden stole my heart
just as much. He has been through so much tragedy and faced many obstacles to
make him the man he is today. The man who would do anything for Alex. His love
for her takes my breath away. He totally deserves a happy ending.
“I can’t
keep pretending that I don’t want this – that I don’t want you. I can’t. Not
after what happened to you. It thought… I thought I’d lost you, Alex, forever.
And I would’ve lost everything. You are my everything.”
7.
Noah Shaw, Mara Dyer series: Arrogant, British,
smart-ass Noah Shaw is completely amazing. Mara needed something stable in her
life amidst the insaneness, and Noah has been her rock and will always be there
for her.
“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.”
8.
Tobias Eaton, Divergent series: Tobias is so
dang sweet and is just one of those guys that basically everyone who breathes
loves. He is a total bad-ass and can kill you easily, but he shows a gentle
side with Tris. He does not baby her but gives her strength when needed.
“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.”
9.
Kaiden Rowe, Sweet Evil series: Again! British!
Seriously, while he is one of the most irritating guys ever, he acts like that
because he loves Anna. Like I wanna strangle him sometimes but he really knows
what will keep Anna alive and safe from the bad demons.
“Wait,” Kaidan
called from behind me. I squeezed my eyes shut for a second, but kept walking.
Then I felt his hand around my wrist, spinning me in a half circle and pulling
me to his chest. His face was so close. He reached down and cupped my face with
one woolly hand, and wiped the top corner of my lip hard with his thumb. I
flinched back.
“What are you
doing?”
“I...” He appeared
to have no idea himself. “I wanted to see your freckle.”
A vulnerable
tenderness flashed across his face, more painful to see than the coldness. It
took every ounce of strength I had not to beg for one last kiss. As fast as his
expression had softened, it was back to stone again.
“What do you want
from me, Kai?”
“For starters?” His
voice lowered to sexy, dangerous depths. “I want to introduce myself to every
freckle on your body.”
A powerful shiver
ripped through me.”
10. Zachary, Shade series: I am such a sucker for guys with accents… Zachary is one of the
most patient guys I have ever read about. Even though his feelings for Aura are
so strong, he gives her the time and space she needs to get over Logan. He is
pretty much flawless, and I know he loves Aura with all his heart.
“Aye.” He turned his head to face me, but stayed on his back. “You look beautiful.”
I glanced at my live shot in the corner. My features were as dim as his. “You can barely see me in the dark.”

“I don’t need to see you to know that you’re beautiful.”
