Who is your book boyfriend?

[AJL]

Do you have a book boyfriend(s)?

Mine are Jamie Fraser (Outlander), Henry Tilney (Northanger Abbey), Laurie (Little Women), Rupert (Paradox trilogy).

I love Laurie in Little Women!! I've never read the book, but love the movie. It's definitely on my to-read list.

I don't think I have a book boyfriend, yet. Need to keep on reading

Aragorn, always and forever. Even before he looked like Viggo.

I love him so much more in the book than the movie.

Definitely Erast Fandorin, I adore him.

Laurie from Little Women and Gilbert from Anne of Green Gables rank pretty high as well.

Athos from the Three Musketeers series, in fact DH has told me I'm not to read that book anymore because I moon over Athos.

I'm a bit in love with Julian Kestrel in Kate Ross mysteries, but there are only four of those books, so my visits with him are limited and I am saving the last one for when I really need a visit with him -- rereads are nice, but I can never get back the feeling of the first read and I want to savor that experience as it will the last new visit with him. (Yes, I realize I probably am crazy.)

And lately, I've really been having a crush on Frank Malloy from Victoria Thompson's Gaslight Mysteries.

Jamie Fraser always. I also kinda had a crush on Mikael Blomkvist from the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series.

Jamie Frasier. Rhett Butler.

Jonah Griggs, from Jellicoe Road. *Swoon*
Also Atticus Finch and Darcy. Especially when he looks like Colin Firth.

[kangaroo11]

Juan Cabrillo from the Oregon Files series of Clive Cussler's. He's an amazing hero and so talented at his job.

Harry Bosch (Michael Connelly)
Po from Graceling
And a lot of the Black Dagger Brotherhood - I can't narrow it down.

Vishous all the way here

Mr. Darcy and I go back to when I was 12-13. I've put him aside a lot but as the last few weeks spent binging on a revisit to him have taught me, he is very much always there. My SO actually has some physical similarities to him, but is much easier to get to know. High quality Darcy works for me. I do not want to drift into most of the mountains of crappy knock-off stuff out there that is written about him. I feel protective of the fully developed character and I'm skeptical of most of the stuff that is published in his name.

As I mentioned in another post, I am crushing on Octave Mouret from Emile Zola's books, hence I am reading Pot-Bouille before I will go onto Aux Bonheur des Dames (The Ladies' Paradise). I think this is going to be a thing for us. I blame Netflix for the short-lived tv show.

Mr. Rochester and I met when I was probably 12. I am considering revisiting him in some depth as well. I always think of him as a younger Pierce Brosnan though. I wouldn't consider him boyfriend material, but err, Octave Mouret probably isn't either.

John Thornton in North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell which I recently read was pretty interesting too, though like these others, quite problematic. He had a lot of Victorian pent up sexuality. I think he could benefit from some anger management counseling, but the character by the end of the book? Very appealing. His love for a wonderful, strong-willed woman who challenged him was very interesting and he could do with a quality sequel. I think he was only beginning his development into being an interesting, compassionate person where his book ended.

I appreciate some of the others that PPs have listed as I loved Little Women and Anne of Green Gables.

I like Harry Bosch - although he seems a little crabby for my taste sometimes..

Virgil Flowers from John Sandford's second series (his original character Lucas Davenport is still going strong but he is too perfect for me - independently wealthy, married to doctor, snazzy dresser blah blah blah)

Virgil is goofy and sexy and divine. I highly recommend (especially for a Michael Connelly fan)
