The Heartthrobs
These guys can't be explained with the word "swoon-worthy" because they are on a plain of their own, separate from other male leads.
Captain Carswell Thorne (The Lunar Chronicles)
Morpheus (Splintered Trilogy)
The Gentle Ones
You don't just love them because of the swoons, but because of their gentle personalities.
Jem (The Infernal Devices)
Maxon (The Selection Trilogy)
Ry (The Chaos of Stars)
Sam (After Hello)
Eli (Not a Drop to Drink)
Kai (The Lunar Chronicles)
Peeta (The Hunger Games)
Marcel (Defy - this ones' a guess from what little we know about him)
The Swoon-Inducers
Crush on them hard, people. You can't help it; you love them despite their flaws, you just can't help but swoon over them - on every. single. page.
Chaol (Throne of Glass series)
Damian (Defy)
Arin (The Winner's Curse)
Hard Outer Shell
These ones have a tough shell around them that you know just has to be broken in order for you to see the other side of their personality. But they also happen to be pretty stern people a lot of the time too.
Arin (The Winner's Curse)
Wolf (The Lunar Chronicles)
Ash (The Iron Fey)
The Heart-breakers
Finally, we have the ones that drive you crazy because they won't allow themselves to be with the female lead because "they aren't good enough." Don't they know we don't care? We just want them to kiss the girl already (and stay with her)! And please, boys, stop needlessly breaking her heart.
Montgomery (The Madman's Daughter)
Will (The Infernal Devices)
Luc (The Beautiful and the Cursed)
That's it for now. Do any of your book boyfriends fit into these categories?
Great idea for a post! I've got to read me some of these books - there's always room for more book boyfriends in my life :)
ReplyDeleteI owe the idea to Captain Thorne. Oh yes, add to that list of book boyfriends!

ReplyDeleteHaha Stephanie!! Great idea :3 You forgot to add in the funny, snarky ones though ;) I would add Puck into that list!! xD Mmm… I would love to add something in, but right now my head is fizzled. Okay how about Christian from Unearthly into The Gentle Ones, Warner from Shatter Me into The Heartthrobs? Haha I'm not too sure :P Oh and my favorite; Astley from Need by Carrie Jones into The Gentle Ones too :3
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Stephanie!! :D
You're right! I should have added the "Snarky" category. Next time. Next time.
DeleteI've not read a lot of the ones that you have listed. Maxon! I agree with you on that one :) I really want to read Not a Drop to Drink and The Lunar Chronicles!
ReplyDeleteMaxon <3 You simply must read Not a Drop to Drink AND The Lunar Chronicles.
