You see, I finished two books this weekend (in one series) because the third is being released on Tuesday. Anyway, it made me start thinking about all the great male characters (both real and fictional alike) who I would simply LOVE to have in my life. I know, you can say it, I'm crazy. ^-^
Here we go!!
First up, the best of the best (in my opinion)...
Dante Alexander
The Hourglass Door Book Series by Lisa Mangum
*As portrayed by Ben Barnes
He's simply the perfect guy. No joke! He has the whole "bad boy" thing going on, but he truly is a good guy at heart and will do anything to save his girl, even if it means the destruction of time itself!
Kishan
The Tiger's Curse Book Series by Colleen Houck
*Picture found via Google and edited by me (MelissaH)
Purpose: "Playful"
He's a man who can change into a tiger. Simple as that. Actually, I fell in love with Kishan's personality and how playful he is. He's very smart and can easily sweet talk anyone. I would have a BLAST talking back to him.
(Side Note: Yes, I would choose Kishan over the male-lead/hero Ren. I'm apparently one of the few fans that would. What is up with that? Why do the fans always go for the good guy? Where's the sense of adventure and daring? ...Alright, now that I've established I'm a die-hard "bad boy" fan, let's continue with the list, shall we?)
Patch / Jev
The Hush, Hush Book Series by Becca Fitzpatrick
*As portrayed by Drew Doyon
Perfect bad boy. No joke. It also helps that he's an angel... Fallen-turned-guardian angel, that is. He would simply be fun to have around, not to mention the interesting dilemma it would be having him and Kishan in the same room... Oh man, I would have a camera recording the whole event! What would it be like to watch a tiger and a fallen angel fight and, more importantly, who would win? Hmmm... ^-^
Red Salvias
The Destroyer Series by Melissa Hansen (me!)
*As portrayed by Theo Theodoridis
Red is fiercely loyal and protective. He would do whatever it took to protect his girl and would cherish her forever (which for him is a very long time). Not to mention, he has been a very close "friend" of mine for years. I'm excited to finally be writing about him!! Check out my book series here.
The Doctor
Doctor Who
*As portrayed by David Tennant
For all my quick-talking, Scottish-accent, alien-savy needs!! Not to mention being able to travel to other worlds, times, and galaxies with the use of his TARDIS! Talk about fun!!! The Doctor is an amazing character and I fell in love with the way David portrayed him in the series. I was quite sad when he left the show, but we all realize that the show must go on. However, David Tennant will always remain THE Doctor in my life. "Ten forever!" ^-^
Alan Rickman
Alright, I know he's married, and a whole lot older, but have you HEARD this man's voice???? The whole reason I would want him is so he could read me poetry and tell me stories before bed each night. I would easily fall asleep to his voice and have the best of dreams.
Johnny Depp
It's Johnny Depp... do I honestly need a reason? =P
David Hodges
Purpose: "Musical Therapy"
Some--if not most--of you have probably not heard of this man. He is an amazingly talented song writer and his fingers work wonders on the piano. He has helped write songs for popular artists such as Kelly Clarkson, Daughtry, David Archuleta, Carrie Underwood, and David Cook. I simply LOVE his musical talent and I could easily listen to him play for hours.
And last, but certainly NOT least...
Flynn Rider
Disney's "Tangled"
I love his sense of humor!! He would be able to make me laugh all the time. (If you have not yet seen Tangled, I would very, very, VERY strongly suggest that you do!)
Anyway, so there's my wonderful list of men who I wish were currently in my life... Life would be complete.
(*Notice how the fictional men are at the top of the list... aside from Flynn. I wonder if there's a hidden meaning to that... lol!)
Alas, I realize this list will never be a possibility. HOWEVER, I have excellent men currently in my life who I would not trade for anyone in this world--real or fictional. I look up to each of these men because of their excellent examples. They all have qualities that I love and talents I sometimes am envious of. I am truly happy I have the chance to know and interact with each of them here in this life. Love ya, guys!!!
Now what is YOUR list???
I love this! Now I want to do one! :) P.S. Dante is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST. I'm so glad you read the series!! Did I tell you about it? Or did I tell someone else? Haha, I love love love him.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been someone else... Melissa Phillips (Thomas) mentioned it briefly during a visit and months later I saw it at Seagull Book, the title sounding familiar, and picked it up to start reading the first chapter. I was HOOKED!!! "It is the counting that saves him." Are you kidding me?! Obviously, I had to read more so I purchased the book, only to go back two days later to buy Golden Spiral. It was an epic week.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm SOOOOO glad to have another friend who has read and LOVES it as much as I do!!! Especially when the series is not widely known (which is SO sad!!)
And yes, I love Dante as well... so very much. If I could pull him off the pages of those books and place him in reality, I'd rush off and marry the man ASAP. He's amazing. <3
I hope you make this list! I know you have something similar on FB, but I would love to hear the reasons WHY you would choose them. So please post if you do!!
Melissa is the one who told me about it, too. I think I told Jen Bodrero. :) I guess it's because it's not as well known that I assume I must've told everyone about it, haha. That's how Twilight was when it very first came out. Everyone thought I was weird for liking a vampire romance, haha. :) I'll definitely have to work on this. It's going to take some thought!
