Top Ten Characters I Would Crush On If I Were Also A Fictional Character

hosted by The Broke and Bookish

Otherwise known as me interpreting the word "ten" very loosely

This an impossibly challenge for me. When I read any romance, it's practically a requirement for me to fall in love with the love interest. To me that's the sign of a great bookish relationship. You feel all the swoony, fluttery feels the protagonist feels. Your heart quickens just like the protagonist's does whenever he or she returns to the page. You feel the need to jump in the ocean reach for the cold water when the characters start kissing.

So I plan to choose book boys basically at random, and I won't repeat myself by listing any of the guys I talked about here or here. Actually... psych. I'm repeating myself. DEAL WITH IT.

Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice
Le duh.

 

Peeta Mellark and Finnick Odair from The Hunger Games

Etienne St. Clair from Anna and the French Kiss
Mais bien sur!

Thorne from Scarlet
 I know. You think I'd list Kai or Wolf, who are the actual love interests for Cinder and Scarlet respectively. I seriously considered it, because swoon. But I am completely obsessed with Thorne. He is so arrogant and confident and funny and annoying, and sure, non of that sounds appealing, but IT IS. He appeals to me greatly.

Wolf from Scarlet
Why the hell not.

Hector from The Crown of Embers
HECTOR. HECTOR. HECTOR. That is all.

 Four from Divergent and Insurgent

Warner and Kenji from Shatter Me/Destroy Me

Mr. Knightly from Emma, Mr. Tilney from Northanger Abbey, and Captain Wentworth from Persuasion

 

Po from Graceling

Adam from If I Stay

Wesley from The Duff

Mal and the Darkling from Shadow and Bone
Must I choose? No. I must not choose. So I shan't.

Chaol from Throne of Glass
Well, I chose here. I'd be willing to go up against any number assassins for the wonderful Captain Westfall.
