Bookish Boyfriends of 2017 #2

Bookish Boyfriends of 2017 #2

November 12, 2017 Posted by angelreads Discussions No Comments

A couple of weeks ago I shared some of my bookish boyfriends for 2017. And today I thought it was time to share more of the boys that have stolen my heart this year. I am always one for a bookish boyfriend – seriously most of the time, I fall in love with the love interest with the protagonist. Some of the books are from this year, some aren’t. And like always these aren’t in any order. 

Bookish Boyfriend #2

 

Jamie from Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde: While Jamie wasn’t a massive part of the book in a sense – I adored how much he cared for Taylor. I loved he pushed her just enough so she got out of her comfort zone. But the main reasons that I think he would have a great bookish boyfriend is that he understood. It was just really sweet. 

 

 

Bookish Boyfriends

 

 

Julian Blackthorn from The Dark Artifices by Cassandra Clare: My love for this boy is undeniable.  I could talk about him all the time and just gush. Firstly Julian is very family orientated and damn that warms my heart. He not only had to grow up fast but had the deal with the burden of killing his father and then taking his spot in the family. But, he doesn’t care – he loved them. One of the main reasons why I love Julian is his vulnerability; it really shows that shadowhunters are still human in many ways.

 

 

 

John from Trust by Kylie Scott: John was an interesting character in himself and it did take me a while to warm up to him. I really don’t know what it was, but it didn’t take me long to find out who he was. I did at times feel that it was too hard to connect with him and maybe it was because Edie and John both had walls up that needed to be cracked. John has a tough past, so I wasn’t expecting him to easy to get to know. 

 

 

 

 

Harris from No Limits by Ellie Marney: Harris, can I please just give him one massive long hug – or maybe multiple. Every page that he was on, I felt that his heart was along with it. I wanted to scream so many times that he isn’t worthless, that he deserves so much more. However, I did love this character arc. I felt that he grew so much that I just fell in love with him even more. 

 

 

 

 

 

Zachariah from Keepsake by Sarina Bowen: Zachariah my sweet boy. From the first book in the True North series, he took my heart away. And then he got his own book and gosh did he tear me to pieces. Zach is innocent but cares so much and it just makes me smile so much. 

 

 

 

 

And that is it for this post! Who are your bookish boyfriends/girlfriends? Do we share any of the same? Let’s Chat!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
