When I saw this topic I knew I just had to
participate in Top Ten Tuesday (hosted by The Broke and the Bookish) this week.
I love me some literary man candy. I used to do a meme called My Book Boyfriend
so I have whole posts devoted to my many fictional crushes, but I managed to
get the list down my faves…
1. Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Do I
even need to say why?
2. Captain Wentworth from Persuasion by Jane Austen. The lady sure
knew how to write amazing heroes who write amazing letters. Swooooon.
4. Etienne St Claire from Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. I know he’s not
everyone’s cup of tea
because of the whole, er, cheating thing, but he sure got my heart beating. He
has great chemistry with Anna, is obsessed with history and does things like
give books with hidden messages as gifts. Sigh.
5. Mr. Rochester from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. He’s so broody but still has a great sense of humour. I adore the way he
treats Jane with respect and meets her as an equal. Let’s just not mention the whole crazy wife in the attic, though…
6. Mr. Thornton from North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. He just wants to be a
gentleman! And be loved. I could give him so much love.
7. Dimitri Belikov from Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead. He’s the strong, silent and sexy type,
with badass fighting skills and a killer bod. Literally.
8. Eric Northman from the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. He’s a tall
Viking vampire with a cheeky sense of humour and a lot of, er, talent. Ahem.
9. Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables by L. M. Montgomery. He immaturely shows a
girl he likes her by insulting her and spends the next five years trying to
make up for it. Silly, adorable boy.
10. Alex Fuentes from Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles. This book is totally cheesy
but completely hot – just like its hero, Alex.
