Well, hellooooo boyfriends 😉 Haahaha I love this list. I wish I could just have them all to myself, but I’m a good person and I was taught to share. Let’s see.. my favorites here would have to be Trevor from Pivot Point, Patch from Hush Hush, Mr Darcy, Sam from Shiver, R from Warm Bodies and Will & Thomas from the Dusk Gate Chronicles. But really, the list could go on and on. 😀
Haha. I know we should share but I totally claim Day from Legend and Joss from The Slayer Chronicles. Those are my boys! 🙂 Good Lord I know my list goes on forever! If you have anyone else who isn’t on the list just let me know and I’ll add them!
Love Mr. Darcy, but hands down the love of my life will always be Dwayne from SUKI http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BJVSHPE… I guess because he’s a modern day Mr. Darcy. Great list. Thanks for giving me a chance to say that publicly. <3
Haha! Thank you for sharing CF! I will totally add Dwayne to the list ;). I certainly loved Mr. Darcy so I’ll have to check Dwayne out!
I have a few book boyfriends. (Sorry, kinda slutty, I know 😉 )
Ponyboy Curtis from the Outsiders has been my book boyfriend since I was eleven.
And then in my twenties, Jake Brigance from A Time to a Kill made me swoon.
Then Peeta in the Hunger Games. He’s cute, protective, and has baked goods!
Haha. Kelly I have more than a few ;).
I loved Ponyboy from the Outsiders. I haven’t read A Time to Kill yet but it sounds interesting. And Peeta <3 who doesn't love Peeta? I've added all three to the list! 🙂 Thanks for leaving a comment with such great suggestions!
Hi Kate! I absolutely love this! Just wanted to add Ronan, he’s a character from my new ebook
Wolf Moon: A Grazi Kelly Novel
He is tall with green eyes, loyal, sensitive, he’ll wait forever for his true love and he’s a musician. I just love him!
Thanks and happy reading!
Hi CD! I’m adding Ronan to the list now. Thank you so much for telling me about him, he sounds like a dream! 🙂
This is an awesome list but you forgot to include the Mckeltar highlanders from KAREN MARIE MONING’s highlanders series. There is also Adam from PATRICIA BRIGG’s mercy Thompson series. Augustus waters from JOHN GREEN’s the fault in our stars. Also, the shadows (trez and iam) from JR WARD’s black dagger brotherhood series.
Thank you for all the recommendations Sar! I’ve added them to the list! And I love Karen Marie Moning’s books!
This is the best list ever! Some of my personal favourites are mentioned. I would love for you to add Jace from The Mortal Instruments, and Will and Jem from The Infernal Devices!
Yay! Thanks for the Book Boyfriend List love! <3
I added your suggestions!
Isnt george from nancy drew a girl?
Good catch L! Thanks for letting me know. 🙂
I love most of the guys you suggested. Also: Jace from Mortal Instruments, Percy Jackson, Logan Quinn from mythos academy, Noah shaw from the unbecoming of mara dyer, and Lucas (and maybe Derek) from Shadow Falls.
Thank you Anna! I added all your recommendations to the list! 🙂
I’m adding my own Prince Corin from MOTH AND SPARK, who, Darcy-like, is sick of officious attention and falls in love with the woman who dares to talk back to him.
Prince Corin sounds amazing Anne! I love a prince <3 (and Mr. Darcy). Corin has been added to the list!
Patrick Pennington from the “Pennington”-series from K.M Peyton. Classic bad boy, but sooo good looking according to the cover-art!
Thank you for the recommendation Nina! I’ve added Patrick to the list. 🙂
YES!! I was hoping Adam from the Mercy Thompson series would be on here!!!! <3
Yep! He’s included! Let me know if you have any other book boyfriends you’d like to see on the list. I’m happy to add them.
You said to add to the list, so here I am. haha. All Maggie Steivfater’s boys (as discussed) Will from The Subtle Knife and Eddie Dean from The Dark Tower.
Hi Tamara,
So Sam and Cole from The Wolves of Mercy Falls are on the list. What other boys from Maggie Stiefvater should we add?
I added the Will and Eddie as per your recommendation 🙂
Will, Zander, and Ben from @BPuttroff’s Dusk Gate Chronicles! I saw Thomas in the list, but not the other three, and they’re all just as wonderful! Also, Chaol from the Throne Of Glass Series by Sarah J Maas. And Nikolai from The Grisha Trilogy.
That’s all I can think of at the moment. LOL
Thanks for your suggestions Brett! I’ve added them all to the list 🙂
Jase Winstead from Be With Me by J Lynn
Thank you for the suggestion Sherry! I’ve added Jase to the list 🙂
Atticus O’Sullivan (Iron Druid Chronicles), Charley Weasley (Harry Potter), Vlad Taltos (Jhereg series) and Liam Rhenford (Fanuilh series)
Thanks for the suggestions Tori! I have added these boys to the list 🙂
Obviously Darcy (hence my blog title), but also Mr. Knightley from Emma, Captain Wentworth from Persuasion, oops, this is all Austen so far, ok, too many more to list. Who can choose? 😉
Darcy is rather dreamy ;). Jane sure knew how to write some amazing book boyfriends. Thanks for expanding the classical list, Donna!
Calvin O’Keefe from A Wrinkle in Time (and the rest of the associated series).
Calvin is now on the list ;), thanks Maggie!
And what about all the boys in On Dublin Street Saga and in Sea Breeze Saga, Travis Maddox of Beautiful Disaster, Rush Finlay of Too Far Saga, Romeo Prince of Sweet Home Saga or Johnny Black in Dark Brothers Saga? I have fallen in love of so many literary guys that I’ve lost count. But what can we do? The boys are simply better in books.
Thank you for all the suggestions, Elna! I’ve added them all to the list. Book boys are certainly the best boys. 😉
Definitely Evan Walker from The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey. Hands down!
Thanks for the suggestion Lindsay! I’ve added Evan to the list 🙂
From a book I’ve read, I’d say Riley from Brenda Novak’s This Heart of Mine. He’s steady and loyal despite everything.
From a book I’ve written, I’ve never been able to get Gideon, from A Heart of Little Faith, out of my mind. He’s still my favorite out of all the heroes I’ve created.
Thank you for the suggestions Jennifer! I’ve added both men to the list ;).
I love this, even though the list is missing the wonderful Ishmael Dubois, the mysterious and handsome guide in “Monochrome” by H. M. Jones. A very compelling read and I enjoyed it tremendously. If you’re a fan of fantasy and some romance, I’d highly recommend this book.
Thank you for the suggestion! Ishmael has been added <3
