We are hosting a meme called: That’s what HE said Thursday. For more info on what this meme is all about click here. We will be doing our posts once a month rather than weekly. The Linky will be open all year long and you are welcome to continue doing your post weekly and linking them up.
As it’s February, we thought we’d showcase favorite quotes from our most cherished book boyfriends! Hope you enjoy!
Julie’s Quote:
Some of my favorite book boyfriend quotes that we have featured in the past include Vlad from the Night Prince series (Night Huntress spin-off). Yes that Vlad. There’s also Adrian, from the Bloodlines series (spin-off of the Vampire Academy). I’m starting to see a pattern of spin-off fans. The spin-offs are even better than the original book boyfriends!
“You aren’t just my weakness, Leila.” Vlad drew me next to him, one hand sliding along my jaw while the other caressed my back. “You are my destruction, because if I were to lose you, it would finish me.”
“You are in my soul, and nothing you did before we met or will do in the future can change that.”
–Vlad to Leila
(Bound by Flames by: Jeaniene Frost)
“I tried to be a better person for her– but it was to impress her, to get her to want me. But when I’m around you, I want to be better because… well, because it feels right. Because I want to. You make me want to become something greater than myself. I want to excel. You inspire me in every act, every word, every glance. I look at you, and you’re like… like light made into flesh. […] You have no clue how beautiful you are or how brightly you shine.”
–Adrian to Sydney
(The Golden Lilly by: Richelle Mead)
Lynn’s Quote:
I’m also seeing a pattern; Julie is into Vampires! I can also totally get behind Adrian. I recently saw Fifty Shades Freed, and I couldn’t help but think, there are some MUCH BETTER book boyfriends to be dreaming about. Like Rysand from A Court of Thrones and Roses:
“I fell in love with you, smartass, because you were one of us—because you weren’t afraid of me, and you decided to end your spectacular victory by throwing that piece of bone at Amarantha like a javelin. I felt Cassian’s spirit beside me in that moment, and could have sworn I heard him say, ‘If you don’t marry her, you stupid prick, I will.” “
–Rhysand to Feyra
(A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses #2) by: Sarah J. Maas)
Or Jericho Barrons from the Fever Series:
“Last night you said you wanted to know what to expect so you could better select your attire. I told you we were going to visit a vampire in a Goth-den tonight. Why, then, Ms. Lane, do you look like a perky rainbow?”
–Jericho Barrons to MacKayla Lane
(Darkfever (Fever #1) by: Karen Marie Moning)
My pattern is apparently men who are into smartass women. Hmm. Not sure what that says about me!
How about you? Who are your favorite book boyfriends?
