MELANIE’S TOP 10 FICTIONAL FANTASY BOYFRIENDS
I am a major TV ted and for those of you who don’t know what these means it means that I watch A LOT of TV. At the end of every TV season (one for US programmes, one for UK programmes) I come up with a list of my top ten TV boyfriends and then post it on Facebook or my now defunct blog. I was thinking that it is completely unfair that I am missing a whole medium from which to find a suitable fictional boyfriend. To rectify this I thought I would share with you my top 10 fictional fantasy boyfriends…
10
Trent – The Hollow series by Kim Harrison
Pros: wealthy entrepreneur who will keep you in the style you wish to be accustomed to, handy with elven magic, would risk life and limb (or fingers) to save you from demons and other bad guys
Cons: could turn you into a ferret or hound dog if he got mad at you, uses his wealth for some nefarious means, not overly keen on wispy hair and pointy ears
9
Hadrian - The Riyria Revelations by Michael J Sullivan
Pros: he’s funny, big, strong and handsomish, good with a sword and ready to protect you
Cons: hangs around too much with Reese, always getting beaten up, his on the road lifestyle means that he’s hardly ever at home

Gwenvael – Dragon Kin series by G.A Aiken
Pros: he’s golden and gorgeous, he’s very witty, hot stuff in the dragon’s lair, you never need to use a BBQ starter ever again, free flights to wherever you wanted to go

7
Hank – Charlie Madigan series by Kelly Gay
Pros: he’s wildy handsome, once you go siren you never go back (apparently), noble, funny, has a job with a great pension

Packard – Dillusionist trilogy by Carolyn Crane
Pros: cool dillusionist abilities, runs a big pack of people with equally cool dillusionist abilities, 100% sexy

5
Grayson Dante – Megan Chase series by Stacia Kane
Pros: hot, smoking fire demon, well off lawyer who can get you out of parking tickets, head of his demon family

3
Alessan – Tigana by Guy Gavriel Kay

Cons: last prince of a land no one can remember, lute playing can really get on your nerves, never stays in 1 place
2
Wellington Books – Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences series by Philippa Ballantine & Tee Morris
Pros: he is extremely intelligent, able to make you all sorts of steampunkian gadgetery, he’s a crack shot, always well turned out
Cons: quite the loner, mysterious past/deep dark secret, bit of a stickler for the rules

Curran – Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrew
Pros: as a cat-aholic who wouldn’t want the king of the cats as their boyfriend?, has a bathtub built for 2, smoking hot good looking, independently wealthy
Cons: the bathtub built for two would take ages to clean, he would shed on all your black clothes, his beast lord duties would interfere with your ‘alone’ time.
Those are my top 10 fictional fantasy boyfriends – I have quite a selection to choose from.
Tell us, who’s in your top 10?

What an awesome list to find ourselves in. And yes, I do think Wellington can turn the eye or two when wearing his best.

Welly could wear his housecoat all day and he would still be on my list.

Definitely with you on Hank, Curran, and Packard! I can see how you might get tired of that Mongolian food after a while though. I would need to add in Aren from the McKenzie Lewis series also though.

Hmmmm I have not heard of the Mackenzie Lewis series but if there is a potential new boyfriend there then I will have to check it out.

Such a great post, I don’t know any of your fictional men so you are quite welcome to them but I have a few that I like to fantasize over, although I’m very tempted to discover your men too. You can never have enough fictional men
Fantastic idea and it made me laugh.

I really LOVED this list. I don’t know that Trent minds the pointy ears though! And true on Curran, I’m sure he sheds…
Reply
He might mind as he tends to keep them covered with his wispy blond hair. For all the black Kate wears she must have a huge stash of lint rollers to get rid of all of Curran’s sheddings

Interesting choices!
Jeremy rather than Clay…. Really?
Totally agree on Gwenvael – must read his book actually the series is very funny.
Curran is awesome.
I think I would have added some others – Acheron from Kennyon’s Darkhunter series, Bones from Jeaniene Frost series, and Barrons mmm from Moning’s Fever series.
Reply
Yes!!! I love Jeremy. Clay is a bit too anti-social and sometimes you have to go with the older man.
I was not a big fan of Bones ….thought he was a bit too perfect.
Haven’t read the other two but heard the Moning books were quite good. Must get them

The only one I would fight you for is Trent. The rest are safe.

Well I think I can cope with only 9 out of the 10
