Okay my picks for this week’s boyfriend are:
Clayton Danvers
Trent Kalamack
Other because I hit that instead of BONES! nom nom nom
Is it just me or is Christian Grey not on here, or Gideon Cross for that matter?
But my ultimate vote is hands down for Jericho Barrons! He puts the SSSSSSS in Steam!
I think Grey isn’t on there because (not only is he an abusive ass) but also because this list is mostly made up of Paranormal Romance characters?
Trent Kalamack, mhmmm. I totally agree. Who doesn’t love an Elf!
my vote will always be Jericho Barrons!
ok I am just wondering how in the worllld could you forget the Lords of the Underworld? I am caught in a three way tug of war between Lucien, Aeron and Paris so why not all 3? lol
LOL Morgana, the list was compiled by some readers and I could only put a certain amount on the list. we COULD do another Book Boyfriend post of everybody who didn’t make it on here. IF somebody wants to compile it from all of these posts. Happy to put another poll up. 🙂
I love those guys too!
Cmon! the answer is obvious!! it’s all about Paris!
i love zarek, zsadist and daemon.
Zsadist!!! [instense sobbing]
Jericho Barrons
Bones
And Ranger (Ricardo Carlos Manoso) from the Stephanie Plum series even though he wasn’t listed.
I totally agree! Love both of these characters!
Acheron Acheron Acheron!!!!
Though I love Ash, Vane and Styxx are my babys
love all of them too 🙂
Oh I love Styxx!!
I’m all about Clayton Danvers….. Yum!!
I’m also a huge fan of Reyes…..Broody, hot, and protective!
Decisions, decisions
Mine are Vane and Wulf in the Dark Hunter series and Devyan Kell in the League series
Rhage from black dagger brotherhood
Wick from fury of desire (Coreene Callahan)
Hook in the kingdom series ( Marie Hall)
Ok- Book Boyfriends- sigh
Barrons- because duh
Other- Marius de Romanus from the Vampire Chronicles
and Reyes from Charlie Davidson (just barely edging out Criminy Stain)
So many delicious choices!
I forgot Bruiser (Jane YellowRock)! How could i forget Bruiser!?!?! This is too hard
Yum! Bruiser…… 🙂
Bruiser, double yum and Eli too.
Who is Barrons?
Mine are Clayton Danvers, Curran and Bones
Barrons aka JZB aka Jericho Z Barrons is the alpha of alpha males and the incredibly seductive, dangerous, delicious male lead of The Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning.
He is pretty much the best ever. If you have not read the series I highly recommend it.
thanks for that, I have ordered the first book already! I think I have Amazonitus, especially where books are concerned!
Fantastic series!! But keep in mind that the first book is kind of slow…
be sure to read the Highlander series, too. All boyfriend material yummy! Dagaeus!
You have some great reading ahead of you Debbie!
I have read the books but I never thought Barrons was hot. Did nothing for me at all. Was very surprised to see him winning this poll over Roarke, Acheron, Bones and where is Curran?
Acheron..yummmy! Jerricho Barrons even better! Zhadist and Rhage!!!
LOVE JZB! But kinda hate him right now, too! I just finished book 3, Faefever! I started the series YEARS ago and just got back into it by starting a book club specific to the Fever Series! We are 22+ strong of ladies infatuated with JZB! I read the highlander series a while back and LOVED every single one and every single male lead is my boyfriend when I read them! shew…calm down, Suzi! LOL!
Keep reading! Barrons!!!!!
I want to join your book club! I <3 Barrons!
Love me some Reyes! ♥ ♥
REYES is my number one pick followed closely by Adam Hauptman and Stefan Uccello
Love Reyes♡
Barrons and Reyes!
Reyes xxxx
Reyes from the Charley Davidson Book by Darynda Jones!!! <3
Love me some REYES!!!
I rather like Reyes from the Charley Davidson series and Bruiser from the Jane Yellowrock series.
wish I could pick about 10. Forgot Adam Hauptman, he is yummy, Reyes, Curran, Bones, Vlad, Clayton, Edward from Twilight book not film and on and on …yes, Christian Grey too, haven’t got the energy for him though!
I am reading Raven Cursed just now and Bruiser is not on the ‘boyfriend’ scene, does this mean Ricky Bo is out? Oooo nooo, what’s going on!

Who can go wrong with a hottie like Reyes?!
Reyes Alexander Farrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh YESSS!!!

Love Reyes in the Charley Davidson Books….hubba hubba!
Curran from the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews!!! He would do anything for Kate, including tearing apart and entire city! He wins book bf of the year in my book! #LoveCurran
Nice choice!

Other favorites would be Clay from Women of the Otherworld (Kelley Armstrong) & Bones from Night Huntress (Jeaniene Frost)
I vote for Reyes.
Barron’s and Reyes!!!
Rourke!! I would also vote for Terrible and Curran.
Yes! Terrible and Curran were my “other” two choices Coleen. 🙂

Reyes
Reyes Alexander Farrow - Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones
Ryodan - Fever Series by KMM
Max - Moonlight Series - Nancy Gideon
Bones (hot and loyal love), Roarke (hot and loyal love), and Bluebell/Illium (sweet love)
This was such a hard vote. Reyes, you win. Still love many of the other dreamy men on this list!
Acheron, Rourke and Bones….oh, so hard to choose.
Reyes from Charley Davidson by Darynda Jones
Roarke from in Death by J. D. Robb

Clayton Danvers from Otherworld Series
Bones from Night Huntress Series
Bruiser from Jane Yellowrock series by Faith Hunger and Bones from Night Huntress Series
Nice choice!
Mercy Thompson’s Adam
I didn’t know many of these options…I better get reading! I would have to say my favorite book guy in a long long time has got to be Simon West in Karin Tabke’s Chronicles of Katrina. Before that, and he is in an older book, is Lee Coburn from Sandra Brown’s Lethal.
Reyes!
Rammel Hawking (Order of the Black Swans) would be a great choice.
Reyes in my mind. bad to the bone bod <3

Roth from White Hot Kiss by Jennifer L Armentrout
Daemon from Obisdian by Jennifer L Armentrout
Aelyx from Alienated by Melissa Landers
Rule from Rule by Jay Crownover
Kaidan Rowe from Sweet Evill by Wendy Higgins
Just one book boyfriend? Pshaw!
Reyes
Curran
Bones
I would have to choose Reyes Farrow for Book Boyfriend!
I am in love with the super HOT son of Satan Reyes Farrow from the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jone.
I picked Jericho and Orpheus.
Love me some Reyes! ♥ ♥
Reyes XD
Roarke XD
and
Clayton Danvers XD *dreamy sighs*
My add-in is James Alexander Malcolm Mackenzie Fraser from Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series!
You need to add Dimitri Belikov from Vampire Academy and Matthew Clairmont from A Discovery of Witches.
Reyes!!
Reyes from Charley Daviddon series by Darynda Jones. Love this series and Reyes!!
How is a person supposed to chose between these hotties. I voted for Reyes, Bones & JZB, but if I could add more, I would want to chose Clay Danvers, Trent Kalamack & Tegan. Damn that was hard!
Orpheus but it was hard because I love Phelan and Gabe too
Reyes would be the best hands down.
As for book boyfriends Reyes Farrow is the way togo!!!!
Oh, let me see…..Reyes Farrow!!!!
Mine is always Griff Muir from Damon Suede’s HOT HEAD…I don’t have a PNR book boyfriend yet, but I’m cruising for one!
Wow…amazing choices and hard to narrow down to just 3. But I chose:
1. Reyes
2. Bones
3. Lothaire.
Of course I have to list my alternates so I don’t feel bad about including them:
*Jerricho
*Acheron
*BDB — Vishious (not on your list and should be 🙂
I dunnoo…I think John from BDB would be pretty awesome?
Reyes from the Charley Davidson Book by Darynda Jones!!! Love him.
Trent. No, Reyes. No, Trent . Well wait, Reyes. AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!
Reyes…..sigh.
Reyes Reyes Reyes!!
My picks are Bones, Tegan and Micajah Hawke. I’d take any one of them, or all three! 😀
I love Reyes from the Charlie Davidson series. Also a huge Ranger fan from Stephanie Plum series! Now I’m looking forward to reading some new series tanks to the comments on tis site!
hands down I Love me some Reyes!
Reyes Alexander Farrow
Reyes Alexander Farrow is the best.
Reyes Farrow is the ultimate book boyfriend, but I wouldn’t throw Ranger or Joe Morelli (Stephanie Plum Series) out of my bed!
Reyes Farrow is the ultimate boyfriend. I’m envious of the fictional Charley Davidson. I’d like him for myself. Darynda Jones knew exactly what she was doing when she created the super sexy Reyes with perfect timing for saving the damsel in distress. I’ve never wanted to climb into a book so badly before in my life!
My #1 pick is Reyes Farrow, then Ranger and Joe Morelli, Stephanie Plum series, also Dillion Savich from Catherine Coulter’s FBI series
Curran (Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews)
Ethan Sullivan (Chloe Neill’s Chicagoland Vampires)
Wrath (JR Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood)
Trent (The Hollows)
Reyes (Harley Davidson)
Adam Hauptman (Mercy Thompson)
And on and on and on…..
I had to choose ‘other.’ I’m not familiar with most of the choices, and the ones I am (Daemon, Trent, Clay) while I like them all I could make a case against them being ‘book boyfriend’ material. I’ve always just thought of Marc Ramos from Rachel Vincent’s Shifters series as book boyfriend material. Hot and loyal.
Oh, yeah, I forgot about Marc!
Reyes is my first pick, then Bones, then Clayton Danvers. They’re all yummy 🙂
Bruiser from Faith Hunter’s Jane Yellowrock series, and Eli too.
why Reyes of course…he is the best…
2nd and 3rd runners up would be
acheron and ethan sullivan
Clayton Danvers or Reyes
Yeah, Reyes, with a side of Reyes, with just a smidgeon of Reyes. To go.
Barrons, Reyes or Bones…… yum yum. Curran was a hard pass up as well.
The best part of these contests? Finding new book boyfriends I didn’t know existed. Who is this Clayton Danvers you say?
Jean Claude—Anita Blake
I agree jean claude or Micah can’t make up my mind
Reyes Alexander Farrow❤️
Jamie Fraser 4ever!!
So many drool-worthy book boyfriends! Ash…my number 1 choice.
Vishous
Orpheus
Reaver
and sorry Acheron BUT I LOVE LOVE LOVE SAVITAR!!!!!
REYES from Charley Davidson series follow by Adm Hauptman and Stefan Uccello from mercy thompson series
Orpheus, from the Eternal Guardians, of course! Would LOOOOOVE to date him 🙂
Reyes of course!… he’s hot, mysterious and ultimately cool at the same time
First choice, hands down… Jericho Barrons.
Second… Adrian Ivashkov (book not movie)
Ahhh, Adrian. Yes. Dimitri doesn’t make the cut? 😉
Torin from Gena Showalter’s Lords of the Underworld series is absolutely my dream book boyfriend. Second and third place go to Kane (from the same series) and KMM’s Jericho.
Jericho Barrons (duh)
Curran from Kate Daniels, and Terrible from Downside Ghosts are both missing! *le sigh*
Based on the comments, it also looks like I need to read the Charley Davidson series ASAP. 😀
Number One is and will ever be Jericho Barrons.
He can call me by my last name all day long
Jerricho is first by far then I’d say Trent Kalamack. Know who was forgotten?! Eric Northman from the Sookie Stackhouse series!
Adam Hauptman, Jesse Ward and Gideon Cross
Jericho Barrons
David…Dark Secrets Series…A.M. Hudson
Reyes..Charley Davidson…Darynda Jones
Ryodan…Iced..KMM
Mathew Clairmont (All Souls Trilogy)
Jericho Barrons (Fever Series)
Vishous - BDB
Tack - Motorcycle Man - Kristen Ashley
Knight - Knight - Kristen Ashley …I know, I know…speaks like a caveman, pimps, dominates…but so broken and so devoted.
First choice - Of course - Jericho Barrons. 2nd Choice - Trent Kalamack – Kim Harrison’s Hollow Books, and my 3rd choice (not on the list) is Adam Black - Karen Marie Moning’s Highlander series.
Sloan O’Riley!!! Definitely!!! Trisha Andersen’s Black Irish Series
Oh my, what a fun topic!
My first choice was not included, so I clicked Other for Jean-Claude (from LKH’s Anita Blake series)…
Then of course BONES, and BARRONS….
What a trifecta of yumminess!!!
BARRONS & ACHERON hands down! Both characters are great and full of charm. And both The Dark Hunter series and The Fever series are so well written and played out that I could read them over and over again.
Barrons - Fever Series
Dmitri - Vampire Academy
Bones - Night Huntress
Karl Marsten - Otherworld Series. There’s just something sexy and cool about him.
Clay Danvers - Otherworld Series
Curran - Kate Daniels Series
Dex - Experiement in Terror
Rafael - Kate Daniels Series
Barrons is definitely #1 on my list, I also love Clay Danvers from the Kelley Armstrong books, and I would add Micah from Laurell Hamilton’s Anita Blake Series. Sigh……all so wonderful
I forgot to add:
- Richard Zeeman: Anita Blake. I’m probably in the minority here…but still, love him.
Barrons from KMM fever series
Ryodan KMM fever series
Hawke from Nalini psy changeling books
I wish Terrible was on here. As well as Kaleb Krychek from the Psy-Changeling series. But Barrons will always be my #1!!!!
My picks are:
Reyes - Hello?? He can “cleave me in two” with his “sword” any day! And the tattoos…and the backstory…*swoons*
Trent Kalamack - Because he’s so murcurial…and what woman doesn’t like someone who’s fun AND dangerous?
Other: Vlad Tepesh (Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress books) - Come on! He’s literally the hottest vampire you’ll ever meet!
JZB - of Course!
Ryder - new heart throb!
Trent Kalamack - he only got the bottom of the three because he hasn’t been consistent…
I cannot believe that Quinn O’Connor is not on the list (Keri Arthur - Riley Jenson series). Quinn is the best!! then Barron’s, then Tanner Reynolds (Lora Leigh - Breed series), also Azriel (Keri Arthur - Risa series).
BARRON is my #1 pic, then Ryoden! (That’s the “other” I voted for) He’s one of “The Nine” in the fever series that I’d love to hear about some more. Of course you can’t go wrong with Acheron!
My “Other” is none other than Himself - James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser.
There can be only one and it’s KMM’s Jericho Z Barrons!
Barrons..,,,.all kinds of Hot Hot Hot
I chose Ash, Barrons and the “other” is Marian Tee’s Domenico Moretti. ^_^
Axel, Cage and Beck from the Corps Security series by Harper Sloan
Acheron and JZB all the way!! Ryodan, Christian, and almost any of the high landers from karen marie morning’s books would be acceptable as well.
In order:
Curran from Kate Daniels
Terrible from Downside Ghosts
Jamie from the Outlander series
Why is Jamie fraiser not an option?! Ach! Dianna Gabeldons Outlander series has Jamie at the top if my list! But he’s right up there with Barrons…I can’t get enough of Bartons. Delicious!
Totally agree! Love Jamie and Barron’s! Love to see my fellow bookies on here, too!
My other (1st) choice would be Eric Northman - Charlaine Harris The Southern Vampire Mysteries Series
Jericho Z Barrons hands down. He gets all 3 of my votes because he’s 3x the man 😉
Jericho Barrons. ‘Nuff said.
I can tell you Jericho is sooo sexy it’s unbelievable. I also chose Lothaire another sexy mofo. I also seen someone post where is Gideon Cross . I would of voted for his sexy self too!!
It’s so hard to pick just three!!! Definitely Jericho JZB - the fever series, follow by Curran - Kate Daniels series and Reyes - the Charlie Davidson’s series!!!! These would be my fav leading men!!!
Acheron, Lothaire & Reaver. My others would be the Men of the Otherworld from Yasmine Galenorn’s Otherworld series. All of them.
Jericho and other for Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood boys and Moning’s Highlanders
Can’t wait for The King to come on on 4/1
Tiago Black Eagle from Thea Harrison’s Elder Races Series - actually ANY of the guys from that series, but Tiago is my favorite.
Jamie Fraser of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series! Most wonderful Book Boyfirend ever!
I picked Reaver and “Other”
My Other choices are Butch from the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward and Adam from the Mercy Thompson Series by Patricia Briggs.
I <3 BARRONS!!!!!!!!
REAVER… I’ve been hot for him since he first appeared in Larissa Ione’s Demonica series!
Barrons! No one has yet to top him for me.
Jericho Barrons from fever series
IT WAS SO HARD TO CHOOSE!!!!!
Very sad that there were no Black Dagger Brotherhood Brothers on here but Hawke will definitely do in a pinch 😉
*BARRONS from KMM’s Fever Series
*CURRAN, Beast Lord from Ilona Andrews Kate Daniels Series
*Adam from Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson Series
*Bones AND Vlad from Jeaniene Frost Night Huntress/Night Prince Series
NOTE TO SELF - Need to read about Reyes Guy!
Number one book boyfriend…Barrons. And I agree whole heartedly with Courtney that no Black Dagger Brotherhood brothers aren’t on the list…sad, sad, sad…My second choice would be Vishous, son of the Bloodletter from that series…***sigh***
It was hard to narrow it down to 3, 4 would have been appreciated but I also used favorite authors to help me decide.
Reyes from the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones
Styxx from the Dark-Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Bones from the Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost
Hello………JAMIE FRASER!!!!!!!!!!
Curran- Ilona Andrews 🙂
Clayton Danvers - Kelley Armstrong
Roarke - JD Robb
Rhage - JR Ward
Historical -
James Malory - Joanna Lindsey
Any of Sandra Hill’s Vikings 😉
Drustan from Karen Marie Moning 🙂
Curran! How can he not be on the list?
Who wouldn’t love an angel to give up their wings for them?! Can we say ultimate sacrifice?!? REAVER is the best book boyfriend lol
Barrons. hand down. No competition.
Why? Because he lets Mac be who she needs to be. He doesn’t hook up with her and then she changes and becomes the bad ass that she does. He lets her learn and change and be. THEN becomes her world and lets her become his world.
So many other literary boyfriends present themselves as the perfect model. Barrons isn’t perfect. No where near. He makes no excuses for himself. And that makes him darn near perfect.
You couldn’t have word it any better!!
Jericho Barrons from fever series by Karen Marie Moning
Ryodan from dani o’malley series by Karen Marie Moning
First of all, JZB, because, well, duh, he’s JZB. Second choice would be any of KMM’s Highlanders or The 9. 3rd choice would be Damien Masterson or any of the gorgeous werewolves in Nicky Charles’ imagination.
Lothaire – Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark
JZB is by far the best on the list but where is Curran from the Kate Daniels series?!!
KMM Adam Black
I voted for Barrons, Bones, and my other is Rain from C L Wilson’s Tairen Soul series
What about Curran from the Magic Bites series? MMM HMMM
Not on the list… my number one choice… ADAM BLACK from Karen Marie Moning’s The Immortal Highlander.
Jericho Barrons!
Connor from 30 Nights with a Highland Husband by Melissa Mayhue
I love them all!! But Barrons, Bones and Hawke are very, very high on the list - the only one missing is Raphael - Nalini Singh’s Archangel!
Bones, Roarke and Daimon. Because I’ve read very few of the books listed and couldn’t think of anyone to add.
Except Mr. Darcy. There should always be more Mr. Darcy.
Styxx from Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunters… until him it was his twin bro all the way! 🙂
Acheron or Styxx
Roarke, naturally
where the heck are Anita Blake’s sweeties?
Other: Curran without a doubt! Swoon….
I was going to say the same thing!!! Curran from the Kate Daniels series!!!
Why are there no Black Dagger Brotherhood men on this list???!!!!
Also no Carpathians???!! Highlanders???!!! Outlander series???!! Oh my….
I agree! BDB men are hot, hot, hot. My vote is for Vishous. Or Rhage - Love Hollywood.
So many great choices! I would like one of each. My favorites are Acheron, Bones, and Reyes.
I fell in love with both of these males the moment I started to read these books. Both are smoldering and super sexy! But my all time fav. that aren’t on her are BDB. Z is my all time best book boyfriend
Illium!!!!!! From guild hunter all the way!!
Apparently i need to start reading alot of these books especially this one involving Reyes. I usually stick with authors like Gena Showalter, Terry Spears, Larissa Ione, Caris Roane among others, including my all time fave author, Lynsay Sands.
B & B all the way!!! Barrons & Bones, how can a woman really choose?!
I picked Trent Kalamack and Jericho Barrons because, well, none of the others on the list come close for me! LOL
Other: Jean-Claude from the Anita Blake series and Doyle (Darkness) from the Merry Gentry series! 🙂
This is hard :/ I love Barrons!!! Also love Reaver!!!
There is some I have not heard of as of yet and I am looking forward to meeting them LOL
JERRICHO BARRONS IS THE BEST!!!!!!
I love him !!!! <3
Sexiest and most manliest boyfriend!
Its gotta be barrons ovcourse!!!! Would of been good to see Curran’s (ilona Andrews - Kate Daniels series’) name on the list, he’s a close second for me. Or even Azriel from keri Arthurs dark angels series. They would be my top 3.
Roarke will always be my top vote with Bones coming in second but not even close. That Irish brogue, dark hair, flashing blue eyes, plus his obvious love for Dallas is second to none.
I would add:
John Matthew - J.R.Ward BDB series
Curran - Ilona Andrews Kate Daniels Series
So many wonderful choices- my pick is Jericho Barrons
Sterling “Harvard” Chase and Kade from Lara Adrian’s breed series’s.
Kyrian from Sherrilyon Kenyon.
Azriel and Quinn by Keri Arthur.
Barrons & Bluebell were oh so easy <3<3 but my other LOML was not on there - Pritkin from Karen Chance's Cassie Palmer series. He is very different to my usual tastes but since the Fever series ended he is now my #1 - hot, mega strong half incubi war mage with a very interesting ancestor. LOVE !
Honorable mentions
Vishous, Wrath, Z, Butch (BDB) Bill Compton (Sookie) Warren (Mercy Thompson series) Vlad Tepesh (Night HUntress, I do love Bones too but so many men, so little room to type 😉 )
I am very glad I am not a fan of LKH because there would not be enough room on the page for all her "sweeties" ! 😀
Dimitri from Nalini Sighn’s Guild Hunter series
Gideon Cross from Sylvia Day’s Crossfire series
Adam de Marisco from Bertrice Small’s Skye O’Malley saga
There are so many votes for Reyes that I feel the need to check him out.
I would like to suggest Vishous from BDB by J R Ward. He’s my book boyfriend. But I did vote for Orpheus, Reaver, Asheron. Love these guys!!!
I would like to suggest Vishous from BDB by J R Ward. He’s my book boyfriend. But I did vote for Orpheus, Reaver, Asheron. Love these guys!!! Black Dagger Brotherhood should be on the poll!!
Where is Curran (Ilone Andrews - Kate Daniels Series) on this list?!!! D:
He is without a doubt the beeeestest, closely followed by Barrons of course!
BARRONS!!! 🙂
Sorry Karen! Got to be Jamie Fraser! Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon!
Roarke edged out the others without question. Gotta love a man who loves books!!! Not to mention all those other fine attributes of his. 🙂
If it were just based on sexual qualities, probably Bones.
Bones and Acheron, but Jamie Fraser (Outlander by Diana Gabaldon) and Dimitri Belikov (Vampire Academy by Rochelle Mead), along with Spade, Mencheres, and Vlad from Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress World and Night Prince Series.
Do we need another poll with all the boyfriends we missed? If so, somebody feel free to compile the list from all these posts and I will put it up next week, then we could do the ultimate round of the top from both polls! A battle to bedroom. hehehe
Do u have any idea how hard it would to choose just one or two even from the compiled list?? Lol I have at least 6 book boyfriends I love and to choose just one or two from them is something I’m not sure I’m capable of … Lol 🙂
Barrons is a given, as well as Bones, Acheron, Tegan, and I love that Phelan’s made the list, but I think it’s a travesty that not a single Brother from J.R. Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood series is not on here. Zsadist, Vischous, John Matthew, and Quinn are my faves, but not even Wrath or Rhage? And correct me if I’m wrong, but all of these are paranormal boyfriends, correct? And, I need to shout out to my new fave, Ryder, from the Fae Chronicles. I almost think he’s the closest to being able to take on Barrons.
Bones and Reyes
A single third? Bursts into tears…
*Vlad (Cat and Bones series) and Spade / Mencheres too
*Zsadist, Wrath, Rhage, Vishous, John-Matthew, Tohr and even Manny (Brotherhood of the Black Dagger)
*Dragos Cuelbre, Tiago, Rune, Khalil and Quentin (Elders Race series by Thea Harrison)
*Dimitri Belikov (Vampire Academy), Seth Mortenson (Succubus) and Adrian (VA)
Along with JZB, I say all of the BDB guys, too, and yes to Seth Mortenson. Also, Adam Black (KMM Highlander series), and, non-paranormal, Gideon Cross. Love them ALL.
I thought I was alone in liking Seth! Love that series.
Me, too. Seth just made me melt. I would reread the whole series, mostly just for him.
#1 Reyes tied with JZB then Reaver but lots of great choices on the poll.
1. Bones “Nighthuntress Series” Jeaniene Frost 2. Daegus McKeltar “Dark Highlander” Karen Marie Moning 3.Seth Mortenson
Barron’s is my man!!!!
I see tons of new boyfriends in my future……
Bones and Jericho Barrons for sure because they are super hot!
Either one of the MacKeltar brothers by KMM.
Barrons of course.
Malcolm Cole ..The Strip..by Heather Killough-Walden..yum!
I love the MacKeltars, too!
I would probably pick Wren. I can identify with him , we are similar in many ways
BARRONS!!!! KMM’s Adam Black (Highlander) is second, then Acheron.
I picked Acheron and my write-ins are Vishous (Black Dagger Brotherhood/J.R. Ward) and Wraith (Demonica/Larissa Ione) with an honorable mention of Tohrment (Black Dagger Brotherhood/J.R. Ward).
Criminy is soooo unappreciated! Ladies you must read Delialh S Dawson’s books! He deserves more than 1% of the votes!
other than Master Stain I cast my votes with Bones and Acheron <3
But I would love to have seen Kisten on this list anyway because the bad ass vamp in a leather coat will always hold a special place in my bookish heart
While I love Ash from Sherrilyn Kenyons books……the one I love most from that series is Colt. I have him so built up in my mind I’m not sure if his book would please me or not. As for the other… I cant choose between the twins in Lynsay Sands series. Dante and Tomas.
Omg dameon from anne bishop was the best
Jericho Barrons, need I say more….
My picks are Acheron, Hawke, and Bones.
Ash from the Dark Hunters rules supreme!
After him there are the Black Dagger Brothers- especially Wrath
Dimitri Belikov from Vampire Academy
and Adam from Kallyso Masters’ Rescue Me series
1. Zadist BDB
2. Vishous BDB
3. Jericho Dark Hunters
Can’t believe there were no Lords of the Underworld or BDB boys in the poll! Paris and Rhage are my faves!
There are some good choices on the list. But neither of my two favorites. How do I choose between Vishous (BDB/JR Ward) and Zarek (Dark Hunters)? Guess I’ll have to take them both 😉
Jamie Fraser from Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon is in the top three for me. Probably is actually number 1, because Jericho Barrons isn’t really human (we don’t know exactly what he is) and Roarke is from the future. Jamie is a real man’s man with sensitivity, which makes him a woman’s dream-come-true!
I voted for Acheron and Reaver, but none of the Black Dagger Brotherhood was listed and they all top my list of all time favorites, if you haven’t read them do yourself a favor and get them. Author is JR Ward and she is awesome.
JZB & Ryodan from KMM, Ash & Nick from Dark Huners. Bones and Trent always get me. And I just love Damien from the Anita Blake series. Thanks for showing me that 1)I read too much (I recognizes about 75% of the picks) and 2) I still have a few books to check out!
I realized the same thing .. Lol .. Now I can’t wait to read about the other amazing book boyfriends that fellow readers love so much
AMEN Sista! 😉
Adam Hauptman Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs
Too bad I couldn’t choose Roarke 3 times. Yummy
Vishous from J.R.Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood
Acheron is always by far my first choice. And though I really like Clayton from the bitten series! I have to go with two from Laurell Hmailton’s book as my number two and three. Jean Claude from Anita Blake series and Doyle from the merry Gentry series.
Bruiser (Jane YellowRock) by Faith Hunter
Curran (Kate Daniels) by Ilona Andrews
Acheron will always be first in my book…pardon the pun! Jericho is totally shag worthy and Trent made my list only because he has very recently redeemed him self.
This was one the hardest decisions I had to make tod. Whew!
Roarke because, well, Roarke. Human, sexy accent, sexy body, sexy everything. Richer than Midas without the curse. Elegant, caring, tolerant (of his lover’s idiosyncrasies, brilliant, loyal…where the heck is this guy’s bad side? Oh, yeah…messy background. But what man on this list doesn’t have a messy background?
these are my choices in the order I would pick them
1.Acheron
2.Jericho Barrons
3.Trent
Because thay are hot Alpa Males.
Its gotta be Jean Claude from Anita Blake books or Doyle and Frost from Merry Gentry both by Laurell K Hamilton
Trent from Kim Harrison’s Hollows and Jean-Claude from Laurell K Hamilton’s Anita Blake series, though between the two, might have to go with Jean-Claude.
Hi
First choice Roarke, what a man, and he loves Eve, supports her, fights for her and gets her, when he doesn’t he tries hard to understand.
Second choice Orpheus, because he tries to be a bad guy, but his inner heart nearly always wins through.
Third Choice Acheron, because I couldn’t find a few others on the list and I’m pretty new to these books.
Thank you ;D
Riley - Nalini Singh’s Psy-Changeling Series
Vane - Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark-Hunter/Were-Hunter Series
Cord McKay - Lorelei James Rough Riders
1. Valerus Magnus -dark hunters
2. Trent - the hollows
3.Jean Claude - Anita Blake
And I had to add Dev - dark hunters
Had to pick Acheron, he’s one of my most fave characters in all books. Especially since we’re talking battles and boyfriends. Although I gotta say that if he hadn’t been on that list, I would have picked Other and chosen Vishous (or Wrath) from the Black Dagger Brotherhood series.
Everyone is saying Acheron. But what about Kyrian?
He would make an awesome boyfriend!
Definitely Roarke! He is hot, rich, a bit of a bad boy, and sure of himself and what he wants. Plus what woman doesn’t want to be taken up against a wall, in an elevator, and so many other fun places.
Jamie Fraser, Outlander. As much as I read, as much as I love heroes and anti-heroes and some straight-up villains, Jamie is the fictional man I love above all others.
Roark is the ult alpha male. He would do anything and everything to protect and avenge those he loves. Plus he’s Irish. Add to that, he’s filthy rich. And loves to shop.
My pick, right now, would be Styxx!! Have always been an Acheron woman, but right now, Styxx is Winning!! lol
Matthew Clairmont
My votes I have to do 3. 1. Curran (Ilona Andrews) ’cause he is loyal and loving both. He does not see his gf as weak, but as a strength at his side and fully human. 2. Adam (from the Patricia Briggs) because he is loyal, and willing to wait for the woman who he loves. He also supported her through pain, and let her heal in her own time. 3. Lucivar from Anne Bishops Dark jewels. Because even though women had tortured him, when he found the right woman he admired who she was, saw her strengths and helped her reclaim them, and was willing to stand up to his mother for her. These are the ones I saw as PERFECT boyfriends. They don’t use: they support. They don’t demand: they request. They may be alpha but that did not make them bullies.
Mackenzie Nighthorse from Natural Law by Joey. W. Hill would be my all time favourite but Acheron comes a close second.
My top picks all come from Sherrilyn Kenyon. ♡ her books! So hard to choose just 3!
Nykyrian - The League series
Darling - The League
Styxx -Dark Hunters
Kyrian -Dark Hunters
Vane - Dark Hunters
Ok, I know that’s 5 but I just can’t leave any of them out!
You forgot a few! But hey, we agree on one!
Nero -The League Series
Syn — The League Series
Darling — The League Series
Nero is intriguing but I can’t go beyond that yet… I really feel for Syn but Nykyrian & Darling take top spot for me, hands down. 🙂
I meant no criticism. Part of the reason I like Syn’s character so much is that it is the first one I read in the series! I also really like that Syn retained some of the softness that Nykyrian still did not seem to understand.
No worries! No offense taken. Just making conversation. 🙂
My votes definitely go for Jerrico Barrons from the Fever series and Daemon from the Dark Jewels series. I am a sucker for the bad boys, especially when they show glimpses of their vulnerable sides.
Book boyfriend: Acheron Parthenopaeus of course!
Then comes Roarke JD Robb, Jericho Barron’s Karen Marie Moning, & any of the Ghost Walkers by Christine Feehan
OMG! How could I have forgotten the Ghost Walkers! Talk about awesome guys!
Ghost Walkers are pretty hot! Especially Jack Norton!
My 3rd book boyfriend is Ryder from Amelia Hutchins “Fae Chronicles”.
Styxx (Sherrilyn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter Series)
Acheron and Ranger from the Stephanie Plum series. Acheron because he has the power and Ranger because he loves Stephanie … not IN SPITE of her quirks but BECAUSE of them. And who doesn’t want to be loved as is?
so me and a handful of authors are just having some early morning giggles over this, because after admitting I had not read any of the books in this list, {Only aware of a few} several other came out to say much of the same. {We’re all mm and gay fiction authors - lol}. And then the light bulb went off, as Rachel, I had seen you comment somewhere up there **points way up to the top** that if we collected a list you would be happy to do another fun poll.
So what are the chances of doing a MM Paranormal book boyfriend poll?
You would have to include Maris from Cloak & Silence.
will do 😀
For me there’s three clear favourites not listed here
Quinn from BC Burgess descension, Ares from Larissa Ione Eternal Rider and Hades from P C Cast Goddess of Spring (swoon) 🙂
Can I vote for Jamie Fraser from the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon?? He is really “paranormal” but it IS a book about time travel-which definately is NOT normal 🙂
Number one on my list is Reyes, aka Rey´aziel. So far I´ve red five of the books about Charlie Davidson (by Darynda Jones) and Reyes takes a bigger place in my heart for every exciting book. I really love his personality.
Number two on my list is Warner (Aaron), from the Shatter me thrilogy (by Tahereh Mafi) who takes part in breathtaking lovestory (young love) and after I learned his true character I was very attracted to his character.
Number three on my list is Bones in the “Graveseries” (by Jeaniene Frost) He is not changing very much over time as person although his vampire capacity does. But his love of Kat is very warm, consistent and appealing to me.
Bones is from the Night Huntress series.
So many good ones to choose from…my top 3 are Reyes, Barrons, and Bones. They are all amazung…totally love them all 🙂
I picked those too and I’d add Curran from the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews.
My favorite male characters are Adam from the mercy Thompson series, Barrons & Ryodan from fever, Raphael& Dmitri form guild hunter series and of course the boys from the black dagger brother hood and dark hunter series including awesome character like Styx,Acheron,Seth,Jared and also vishous and zsadist are my absolute favourites from the BDB series.
Jericho is a must!! I would have loved to see the following book boyfriends Curran (Kate Daniels), Adam Hauptman (Mercy Thompson), Jeremy Blake (Real Vampires have Curves), Owen (Elemental Assassin), Jean Claude and Micah (Anita Blake). Love them all !!!
Lords of Deliverance? Thanatos 😀
and on that note, Eidolon 😀 oh and Reseph
alsoooo Acheron, Styxx, Gideon (LOTU), Phury, Wrath and (of course) Rhage..
How the hell am i supposed to decide??? 😀
All of these guys are yummy.
My favorite male characters is Bones from Night Huntress ♥
He is the best Man ever ever ever <3333 3
Acheron will always be my favorite or any of the hunky guys from the Dark Hunter Series =)
Hawke Snow - Nalili Singh
Clayton Danvers - Kelley Armstrong
Max Shannon - Nalini Singh
These guys are just brilliant.
I can’t believe Outlander’s character isn’t on here. Jamie Fraser will soon be well known because a TV series is coming for it this Summer on Starz. This book is by Diana Gabaldon. Check out the book and the TV series. The book is awesome!
VISHOUS VISHOUS VISHOUS VISHOUS *shaking my head* Not one BDB Warrior on the list…OMG I can’t believe they were left off the list. Vishous, Cop, Rhage, LASSITER, Wrath, Phury, Zsadist, Tohrment. I voted for Roarke cause DAMN he loves Eve.
Definitely Jericho Barrons!
Reyes!
DAEGAN REI, from Joey W. Hill’s Vampire Trinity!
Tyler Winterman, from Joey W. Hill’s Ice Queen/Mirror of My Soul
Mason from Joey W. Hill’s Beloved Vampire

Love Tegan as mentioned in the poll, but also love Kade from The Breeds series.

I voted Other, because my favorite would be Syn from Sherrilyn Kenyon’s The League series.
I picked Jericho Barrons, Orpheus, and (though he isn’t on the list) Maddox from The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter.
How am I supposed to chose one?! Just with Karen Marie Moning along I’m up to about 16. (All of her Highlanders + Barrons + the rest of the 9) Oh crap, and I can’t forget the Unseelie King and even V’Lane…yes even after knowing who he is lol 🙂 And more non Karen Picks (though she is first for me)
Any and all men from the Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward
Curran in the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews (husband/writing team and they are amazing)
Bones from the Night Huntress Novels by Jeaniene Frost
Any/All men from Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark Series 😉 Can’t pick a favorite 🙂

Orpheus
Vlad and Mencheres….both not listed….Jeanine Frost books
I voted for Barrons, Bones and Hawke. I love all 3-I would have voted all 3 votes for Hawke if possible. Where are the brothers from Ward’s Black Dagger Brotherhood?
I love Hawke from the Psy-Changeling Series. This is a wonderful series.
Bo Novikov from Shelly Laurenston’s Beast Behaving Badly. So hot!!!!
My book boyfriend would definitely be Acheron…..:)
Reyes is the ultimate boyfriend
Can’t believe Jamie Fraser of “Outlander” by Diana Gabaldon was not on the list. Ohhh Myyyy!
Have to throw my “other vote” in for Ethan Sullivan from the Chicagoland Vampire Series!
All great choices but Roarke was mine, and I would have given him all 3 of my votes.
My “other” vote is for Jeaniene Frost’s Vlad- he’s so unapologetic about who he is.
Too bad I did not see KMM’s Ryodan.
Any of Karen Marie Moning’s Highlanders and Lothaire.
Jericho Barrons would have to be #1 with Acheron a close second. No question! As for my third choice, either King Wrath or Lucan from the Midnight Breed series. All are hot sexy and dominant males.
Dimitri Kallinikos – Angie Fox’s Demon Slayers because her male leading characters are so awesome.
Reyes Alexander Farrow from Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones. Seriously how much more bad-boy-trying-to-do-the-right-thing can you get really??
Reyes from Darynda Jones’ Charley Davidson series!
Reyes Farrow
Trent Kalamack

Karen Marie Moning’s Dageus MacKeltar <3
Drustan MacKeltar, “Kiss of the Highlander” by Karen Marie Moning
I have to say that Reyes Alexander Farrow is my first choice! Give me a few and I’ll post up my number two and three………..the competition is fierce lol.
MMM Phelan! I could drool over him alllll day!
Reyes, Barrons, and Curan. Because.
What about Ram, or Glen, or Storm from Victoria Black Swan Series by Victoria Danann?
without a shadow of a doubt, it’s Acheron Apostolos Parthenopaeus from the Dark-Hunter Series!!!! There’s nobody hotter!!!!
What about Styxx? Acheron’s brother? - Sherilyn Kenyon: STYXX
I voted for Tegan (Lara Adrian ) but indeed I miss the characters of the BDB too.
My other votes would be Kade (Lara Adrian) and Zsadist (J.R.Ward).
Acheron Parthenopaeus (book version) for me..
Can’t believe Richelle Meads Dimitri Belikov (book version) was not mentioned in the poll…. (boy are you lot overlooking someone great) He’s a close second choice for me.
