Welcome to the My Favorite Book Boyfriend Event. Ramblings From This Chick is turning 2 and I couldn't think of a better to celebrate than to ask a bunch of awesome authors to come by and share who their all-time favorite book boyfriends were. Not only is each author that comes by sharing their choice of boyfriend, but they will also be giving away the book said boyfriend is from along with a book of their own. But that's not all! Each participating author as donated goodies to go towards a grand prize. So you will have lots of chance and opportunities to win some pretty awesome books!
Sounds like fun right?
I thought I would kick things off by sharing my favorite book boyfriend.
This was really a no-brainer for me. From the moment he stepped on the page in Dark Lover, Zsadist had my attention. I knew there was so much more to him then what was being reflected on the pages, that he was brutally evil bastard that killed women for fun. I just knew there was more to him and his story. Flash forward to his book Lover Awakened, you already start to see some of the cracks in that facade. Yes, he's brutal and slightly evil. I mean, if he were my enemy I wouldn't want to be caught dead in an alley with him. But underneath all of that he's fierce and loving warrior who would do anything to protect the ones he loves. ANYTHING. He might not always show his true feelings (unless when it comes to Bella and Nalla) but you know that he's a loyal companion who you would gladly have at your back.
*Sigh*
Who's your all-time favorite book boyfriend?
In the shadows of the night in Caldwell, New York, there’s a deadly war raging between vampires and their slayers. And there exists a secret band of brothers like no other - six vampire warriors, defenders of their race. Of these, Zsadist is the most terrifying member of the Black Dagger Brotherhood.
A former blood slave, the vampire Zsadist still bears the scars from a past filled with suffering and humiliation. Renowned for his unquenchable fury and sinister deeds, he is a savage feared by humans and vampires alike. Anger is his only companion, and terror is his only passion—until he rescues a beautiful aristocrat from the evil Lessening Society.
Bella is instantly entranced by the seething power Zsadist possesses. But even as their desire for one another begins to overtake them both, Zsadist’s thirst for vengeance against Bella’s tormentors drives him to the brink of madness. Now, Bella must help her lover overcome the wounds of his tortured past, and find a future with her…

It's hard to pick my all-time favorite, but I am definitely on board with your picking Z! I could re-read his book over and over and never get board.
ReplyDeleteI can't count how many times I've read his book as well as listened to the audio book. I still cry like a baby every time I read it. Love him and love his book. It't my all-time favorite. Love it!
DeleteHard question but I would go with gregori from Christine Feehan's dark series. The man is hot, intimidating and can turn into a wolf...yummm

Ooh, I've heard a lot of good things about this series and I will definitely have to check it out. Thanks for stopping by and sharing.
DeleteI have many, so I will list my current favorite which is Andrew Parrish from The Edge of Never :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great choice. Thanks for stopping by and sharing.
DeleteLove the idea of the Book Boyfriend Event!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book boyfriend has to be Jericho Barrons from Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. He is so unabashedly feral...I love, love, love him!
Yep, total Barrons obsession!
So I've only read the first book in the Fever series (I def plan on reading the rest) and I can definitely see the appeal of Barrens. I've read the scene in his pov of view on KMM's site quite a few times.
DeleteThanks for sharing.
I have to say that it is really hard to pick just one, but if I have to I would say it is Vlad from the Night Huntress series. There is just something about a smoking hot (literally) prince of vampires! I love that he has his own series now.
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of good things about Vlad. I have this series on my TBR and I really want to start it soon.
DeleteThanks for coming by and sharing.
Well, I have never read the BDB books but everyone talks about them so I guess this year I will have to start the series! My all time favorite book boyfriend is probably Conrad Flynn from Operation Sheba by Misty Evans. Love, love, love him. Who wouldn't love a spy who wants to save the world? :)
ReplyDeleteOh Amy, they are so good. If you like alpha males you will definitely love this series. It's so good!
DeleteThanks for dropping by and sharing your choice. =)
Roarke from JD Robb!
ReplyDeleteI really need to read this series because I've heard so many good things about Roarke.
DeleteThanks for sharing.
Ahhh you can't ask me to choose!!! Umm... Tack from Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley is the first one that comes to mind :)
ReplyDeleteI just got this book so I'll be able to see what Tack is all about. I've heard great things.
DeleteThanks for sharing.
My all time favorite book boyfriend? I don't have one. I love falling in love with the characters every time I open a book. And there are so many I've fallen in love with!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I definitely know what you mean.
DeleteThanks for sharing.
I have to say My Favorite Book Boyfriend is Vishous BDB he is just so messed up and tortured you cant help but want to fix him and show him some Love!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this awesome chance to win.....
angelalove@uwmail.com
V is a great choice. Love him but he doesn't hold a candle to my Z. Lol. I love his sense of humor. He always makes me laugh, true. =)
DeleteThanks for stopping by and sharing.
I have loved many but I always go back to Nick Allegrezza from Truly Madly Yours by Rachel Gibson
ReplyDeleteAhhh, I've heard a lot of good things about Nick and this book. I just bought it not that long ago and I hope to read soon so I can see the allure that is Nick.
DeleteThanks for sharing.
Roarke from jd robb's in death series. 30+ books already, and i still love him
ReplyDeleteSee, another Roarke fan. Just makes me want to read this series all that much more. I gotta know more about this allusive Roarke.
DeleteThanks for dropping by.
My favorite would have to be either Rhage or Vishous from the BDB books! Love them both!
ReplyDeleteAhh Rhage and V, love em' both. Rhage is a close second to my Zsadist. Love him. I've reread his book quite a few times too.
DeleteThanks for sharing and stopping by.
Thanks for the fun post and giveaway! I'd have to go w/ Curran from Ilona Andrew's Kate Daniel Series :)
ReplyDeleteGreat choice. Thanks for sharing. =)
DeleteApril 31st? I love Jamie from the Outlander series.
ReplyDeleteAh, good catch. Lol.
DeleteJamie Frasier from the Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon. Who doesn't want a big, red headed Highlander to take care of them?
ReplyDeleteDon't think I have a favorite book boyfriend -- I mostly like all the men in the books I read. But Rhett Butler from "Gone with the Wind" comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if he is my favorite, but he was my first book BF so he always holds a special place in my heart. Ash Redfern from Daughters of Darkness by LJ SMith.
ReplyDeleteI can not pick one...Im sorry...lol my current fav is Thane in the Son's of Navarus series....
ReplyDeleteSo many book boyfriends so little time! LOL! I think Z from the BDB is one of my favs too, though!
ReplyDeleteApril 31st? I love Jamie from the Outlander series.
ReplyDeleteI have many favorite book boyfriends. One of them is Creed Saint-Pierre from Her Vampire Husband.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! That's a HARD question to answer. I think my favorite changes on what book I'm currently reading.
ReplyDeleteThat's really hard to answer since it changes with each great book I read... I have had a many book crushes. But the one that has always stuck is Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice.
ReplyDeleteI love Ian MacKenzie from The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie by Jennifer Ashley.
ReplyDeleteI actually couldn't choose. It changes depend on my mood. Sometimes I like him bad, wicked, powerful, an alpha-male. But sometimes I like him to be calm and soothing, a very down-to-earth beta-hero kind. :D
ReplyDeleteBut here's some of them: Leo Hathaway from Married by Morning, Chase from Texas! Chase, Alex from Then Came You, Roarke from In Death series (for his wealth, power, and his library :D), Ian Mackenzie from The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie, Jack from Suddenly You, and more.
My all time favorite would be Gabaldon's Jamie Fraser.
ReplyDeletejmcgaugh (at) semo (dot) edu
Hard choice. I think I would go with Zsadist for BDB. Thanks for the awesome giveaway. emilyb0924 at gmail dot com.
ReplyDeleteMine would be Sebastian St Vincent from The Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas. I just love him.
ReplyDeleteCrispin "Bones" Russell from the Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost. I know there are many books out there I haven't had the pleasure of reading yet, but my heart belongs to Bones. He is my ideal book boyfriend :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book boyfriend would have to be Jamie Frasier from the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. There's just something about that Highlander that drives me nuts!
ReplyDeleteI love them all, do I have to choose?
ReplyDeleteI do love Mr Darcy from PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.
ReplyDeleteI married my all time fave boyfriend :) However as fictional...hmmm... Any of the Carpathians from Christine Feehan's book series.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read this series and am really looking forward to starting it.
Thanks
I think Jamie from "Outlander."
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
mestith at gmail dot com
Oh gosh I really have so many, hmmm Sebastian Danvers from Checkmate, My Lord was ooo so swoon worthy, a protective spy? yes please
ReplyDeleteI'm going with Zane K - WereHunter Sherri Kenyon
ReplyDeletehe likes LUSCIOUS women!!!
I don't read PNR, so I haven't read the BDB (I know, I must be like the only person in the world who hasn't, haha). There's entirely too many great book boyfriends to pick an absolute favourite, but I'll go with my most recent re-read: Zach McBride from Pamela Clare's BREAKING POINT (book #5 in her I-Team romantic suspense series). He's got just the right amount of alpha-ness without being overbearing.
ReplyDeleteSee this is just too hard of a question for me to answer. There are so many fabulous alpha men in books for me to choose my absolute favorite. Every time I start to lean to one I think about another and another and end up going in this huge circle and never decide on one. A few of my favorites in that circle are (in no particle order) Bones, Barons, Roarke, The BDB's, Ash & several other of the Dark Hunters, and, and, and...
ReplyDeleteToo many good ones out there - Barrons from Fever series by Moning!
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Leanne
For me it's Adam Hauptman from Mercy Thompson and Pritkin from Cassie Palmer! Thanks for giveaway. That's a fun question :) Damaris
ReplyDeleteI don't have an all time fave. Maybe later after I read more of these books. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI keep reading review on this series. Going to have to get into these!!!
ReplyDeleteHard to pick a "Book Boyfriend" There are too many to choose from! Thanks for new reading material!
ReplyDeletelove love love Shayla Blacks wicked series...love Logan. I would say he's prolly my all time fav!
ReplyDeleteI think I am going to have to go with Gavin from Collide right now. I agree with several posters and I think any of the boys from the BDB series would certainly fit the profile.
ReplyDeleteI love Reyes from Darynda Jones' Charley Davidson series.
ReplyDeleteAck! I have to pick one? I guess I'll go with my very first--Nat, from The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare. I literally read three copies of that book to pieces....
ReplyDeleteI can't possibly pick - maybe I'm fickle cause it's often who ever I'm reading about. But some of my favorites are Lori Foster's guys and Stephanie Laurens heroes, and my new favorites Monica McCarty's Highland Guard.
ReplyDeleteProbably Wraith from the Demonica series....Half vampire & half demon and all sexy ;)
ReplyDeleteMy book boyfriend changes with every book I read.

ReplyDeleteMy all time favorite book boyfriend is Travis Maddox from Beautiful Disaster/Walking Disaster.
ReplyDeleteroarke from in death series by jdrobb, bones from night huntress series by jeaniene frost, jack devlin from suddenly you by lisa kleypass and jack pallas from something about you by Julie james
ReplyDeletethanks ^^
Roarke from In Death series. Always him, and others just make it into my harem, lol. I love how he so supportive into Eve, but still alpha to the core. Alpha doesn't mean he see the heroine is below them, it mean he understand about her but still can make reader swoon with his manliness ;)
ReplyDeleteMy forever book boyfriend is Rhage from the BDB, A big blonde who likes tootsie pops...mmmmm.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's hard! A few of my personal favorites are Bones from the Night Huntress Series, Ash from The Iron Fey Series, Reyes from the Charley Davidson Series, Cam from Wait For You, Daemon from the Lux Series, Ren from the Tiger's Curse Series, Patch from the Hush, Hush Saga, Dimitri from The VA Series and Adrian from the Bloodlines Series! (: <3
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book boyfriend is Ash from The Iron Fey ♥

ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites is Eric from the Sookie Stackhouse series.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
always reyes from darynda's book
ReplyDeleteI am loving the book boyfriend idea! What fun! Makes me think fondly of my select few :)
ReplyDeleteBarrons, Curran, Adam Black, Jamie Fraiser, Bones...*sigh*
One of them is Roarke from the In Death series! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI think Sebastien from Devil In Winter is my fave book boyfriend if I only get one lol
ReplyDeleteThere are too many to list, but Julie James writes great heroes.
ReplyDeleteRoarke from In Death will always be a favorite. :)
ReplyDeleteThere are so many to list but Jericho Barrons from Karen Marie Moning's Fever series is one of my favorites...also Lestat, the Brat Prince, from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles.
ReplyDeleteHard to pick just one but I love Charles from the Alpha and Omega series by Patricia Briggs.
ReplyDeletemythic021@gmail.com
I don't have a fave from any book. I remember reading books in Middle school and then I would change with every book I read.
ReplyDeleteI have none because I like the Men for each book I read.
ReplyDeleteMy all time favorite is Rhett Butler, but I love them all.
ReplyDeleteI have to go with Wraith and Con from Larissa Ione's Demonica series!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have a favorite book boyfriend because I tend to love the male character in most of the books I read. I love when I find a book where I can become invested in the characters and find things about them that I love.
ReplyDeleteI have not read the BDB series yet — it seems like every time I go to the library they are all checked out — so my fingers are crossed for luck.
Thank you for the giveaway!
Best Wishes,
Lindsey V.
