So Kelly over at Bell of the Literati took pity on us this month for making us choose only one favorite book boy by giving us the topic again…with no limits. Of course, we could probably have a never-ending list so we decided to narrow it down to our Top 5 Book Boyfriends, and let me tell you… there was a huge process to narrowing this list down.
Now I know, our normal post for Book Bangin’ is to do a podcast but with all of our crazy schedules we couldn’t get it done so instead we decided to put together our list of book boyfriends along with our dreamcast (THANK YOU MEG!!) and a quote that will show you exactly why these guys are on our lists!
BEST. BOOK. BOYFRIEND. EVER.
I don’t even know what to say about Jase that I haven’t already. He’s my favorite and probably will be forever. I can’t imagine anyone ever taking his place and here’s why.
Jase slides his thumbs behind my ears, rubbing the hollow at their base. He’s only inches from my face, still looking into my eyes. “You bet. I’m studying you.”
Matt Finch is like everyone’s boyfriend, but I had to include him on my list because I Heart Matt Finch.
“I really like you,” Matt announces, which somehow makes me feel more embarrassed. “You’re unpredictable and smart, and I basically want to spend all of my time with you.”
Jason is mine. That is all. Do not try to take him from me. You will lose.
“She is different. And I’m ready to prove just how much.”
Um… He works at Starbucks… Add in the fact that he’s full of smiles and incredibly adorable and I’d totally read things to him… anytime.
“It’s okay if you’re crazy,” he said softly.
“You don’t even know-“
“I don’t have to know,” he said. “I’m rooting for you.”
So Meg and I have agreed to share Josh… even though I’m not entirely on board with this, I’ll accept it … for now. Josh is so amazing you guys. If you haven’t read this, or if you haven’t ordered this, then get on it because I guarantee you will love him.
“Sky,” he whispered. My name in his mouth sounded like a warning, but he wasn’t letting go, was gripping me harder, and after all these weeks of anxious hope, it was suddenly so easy to just turn my body a few degrees and press my lips against his.
I love Finn…there really isn’t much more to say. Okay..he is protective, smart, and loves Cate like crazy. Also, he says things like:
“When.” He takes my cold hand in his. “I’m
falling in love with you more every day. I don’t know if they were the same
things I loved about you before, but now–the bit of red in your hair. The way
you tilt your chin when you get angry, like you’re charging into battle. How
fiercely protective you are of the people you care about. How big your capacity
for forgiveness is. You are an amazing woman, Cate Cahill.”

Josh Bennett gets quite a few sighs from me. He builds Nastya a chair and calls her Sunshine and….so much more.
He shrugs and turns to me, drowning the smile that cracks me every time.
“It’s not stupid to want to see her again.”
“It wasn’t so much that I wanted to see her again,” he says, looking at me with the depth of more than seventeen years in his eyes. “I wanted her to see you.”
“It’s not stupid to want to see her again.”
“It wasn’t so much that I wanted to see her again,” he says, looking at me with the depth of more than seventeen years in his eyes. “I wanted her to see you.”
Bishop Lattimer is a new favorite of mine – he’s definitely swoony and he’s all mine (I’m looking at you Jaime)! I loved how his character was developed in this story and here is a perfect example of why he is on the list.
“Because I’m in love with you, Ivy,” he whispers. “Giving up on you isn’t an option.” He lifts my hair away from the back of my neck and kisses the delicate skin there.
I love Arin…I don’t even know what to say here about him because there isn’t just one thing that makes him a favorite. Just trust me…he is deserving.
“My soul is yours,” he said. “You know that it is.”
Chaol…I adore him because he is perfect for Celaena plus he . He forces her to see things from a different perspective, he brings her cake, and he says lovely things…
“Believe me, Celaena, I know you can look after yourself. But I worry because I care. Gods help me, I know I shouldn’t, but I do. So I will always tell you to be careful, because I will always care what happens.”
