My favorite was Park, I finally read Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell 🙂 Thanks for all the great giveaways!
Trudy
My number one book boyfriend would have to be Asher Lee from The Vixen and the Vet by Katy Regnery. He is a wounded warrior that becomes a recluse in order to avoid scaring people. He has given up until Savannah comes into his life. He wants to live. He wants the surgeries. All because he wants her. He even ventured into town in order to see her. That is love.
EvelynS
There are too many to name!
Ashley Graham
My favorite was Alex Waters from Pucked by Helena Hunting!
ladyvampire
My top book boyfriend of the moment is Curran of Ilona Andrew’s Kate Daniel series. I enjoy him because he’s tough with a big heart and would do anything for his love Kate. 🙂
Ashley F.
Hmm that’s a hard one. Ah..Caleb Hawkins in the Blood Brother series by Nora Roberts.
Kae Sparks
Ted Beaudine of Call Me Irresistible. I just want to smush him…

laurieg72l
Fiona Lowe’s Boomerang Bride- Hero Marc Olsen a wealthy NY business returns to his hometown to celebrate the holidays only to find his sister facing breast cancer surgery and a reclusive, non communicating teenage nephew to deal with. On top of that he befriends an Australian woman who was swindled and dumped by her fake fiance. Loved how his heart breaks free and takes over his domineering personality. He was a compassionate man with a stoic, austere demeanor .
lraines78
Will Abbott in Marie Force’s Green Mountain series.
Bec
As a reviewer, I’ve read a lot of books this year, so there are plenty of choices. But, in the end, I’m going to have to go with Logan Mathis from Controlled Burn by Nikki Duncan. He definitely deserved his happy ending after everything he went through in the story.
Diana Tidlund
not one but the 4 of them from Christmas In New York anthology… Jennifer Gracen, Jeannie Moon, Patty Blount and Jolyse Barnett
conniefischer
I fell in love with Captain Stephen Overtree, hero of “The Painter’s Daughter” by Julie Klassen. He is a real man who is loving, brave, and sacrificing for his family and his country. What a man. Sigh…
Cathy Lykens
Sebastian Malheur of Courtney Milan’s Countess Conspiracy.
eskiemama23
That’s hard I have to many to choose from.

Aha, I don’t mind sharing him . . . I would have to say Tyler from the Did I Mention I Love You? trilogy, by Estelle Maskame. I’ve only read the first two books, but all the same, his character struck me, marked, unforgettable.
Ellen C.
Just finished reading Tricky Twenty Two by Janet Evanovich, so Ranger and Morelli are my current book boyfriends. Just love the way they interact with Stephanie and each other. It doesn’t hurt that they both have a sense of humor as well.

Pennie
I have had too many book “trysts” this year to pick just one but there is one who has been recurring and will have his own in this coming year and has been a favorite for several years running…he always at the top of my favorite list – Gabriel Rossi. *sigh* Gabe *sigh* No explanation required for those who have read Roxanne St. Claire
Debbi Wellenstein
I like Nick from Marie Force’s Fatal series.
Lori Moore
Kellan Kyle
kermitsgirl
Percival Hayes, Earl of Hardford – from Only A Kiss by Mary Balogh. The way he handled the PTSD experienced by Imogen (back when they didn’t always acknowledge things like that) was nothing short of spectacular. It was my favorite read of the year, and he was my favorite hero.
jcp
I have two: the H’s from Falling for Mr. December by Kate Hardy and The Bedding Proposal by Tracy Anne Warren (love the Byron:)

Sam from Just the Way You Are by Barbara Freethy. It’s been released for awhile but I discovered it this year and it now became one of my favorite books!
Janie McGaugh
I have read so many wonderful heroes this year. I would say my top two book boyfriends are:
1. Curran (from Ilona Andrews’ Magic Shifts and the rest of the Kate Daniels series), because he is protective, so devoted to Kate and has great lines!
2. Kaleb Krychek (from Nalini Singh’s Heart of Obsidian with appearances in other books the Psy-Changling series), because he is a wounded hero and has such devotion to Sahara.
Catherine E.
My favorite book boyfriend is either one of Sawyer Bennett’s Cold Fury Hockey guys or Jami Davenport’s Game On in Seattle guys.

Sue C
Too many to name
ndluebke
Well, it has to be the last one I read, Gregory in Falling for the Enemy by Naomi Rawlings in a Love Inspired Historical. He’s British and she’s French and they are at war. Between her being good at knife throwing and Gregory getting his brother out of a Dungon Prison and the little donkey, hey it gets downright interesting.
willie71
Any of Robyn Carr’s Virgin River characters.
nikkiphilton
I came a little late to the game, but Finbar Burke from NR’s Blood Magick did it for me.
bn100
none; don’t have any
Kim
Oh good Lord. That’s a HARD question. There are sooo many good guys who appeared in 2015. I going to have to go with Bryce Bishop from Robin Bielman’s Blame it on the Kiss.
Amber Terry
I really like Bones from Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress series 🙂
Thanks for the chance to win!
Debra
My favorite is the current book that I am reading. He can make me angry with the way he treats her or heartbroken cause he thinks he is not hood enough, or giddy by the way he looks at her, or he has my heart beating by the way he is making love to her. I read several books a day so it is hard to pin point which one is the best.
Kelley Lizak (@kelleylizak)
Uhm, Jamie Fraser from Outlander of course. Does that even need explanation?
Ellen Thompson
Unfortunately I didn’t have a whole lot of time to read this year so I can’t think of one right now but I will definitely be checking out some of the ones that others have mentioned. Thanks!
Elizabeth T.
Aidan Hunt from Shannon Stacey’s Boston Fire series!
Cheryl Hastings
I don’t remember if this was a late 2014 or early 2015 book but Matt McKinney in Worth the Fall is who I measure all book boyfriend’s to. He’s an alpha who loves kids and dogs, looks at the lovely, very pregnant mom of 4 and just falls!
Chelsea B.
Wolf from The Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer!
tlrosado
My current favorite book boyfriend is Tatum Jackson from Kristen Ashley’s, Sweet Dreams (Colorado Mountain Series.) I love an alpha male who had a soft spot for the people he loves.

Isaac Hughes in All the Belongings by Cynthia Ruchti
marcyshuler
So hard to pick, but I’ll go with Beckett Murda from Hard To Let Go by Laura Kaye.
Chey
I can’t choose just one.
Jenn McElroy
Gray Grayson (from The Friend Zone by Kristen Callihan) and Ethan Dexter (from The Game Plan by Kristen Callihan) were two of my favorite book boyfriends this year! Gray was hysterical! Ethan/Dex was strong and quiet.
bastdazbog
Jake Davis from Fanning the Flames by Victoria Dahl.
BookLady
Acheron from the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon is the ultimate paranormal alpha. Thanks for the fantastic giveaway!
Heather B
I think my favorite book boyfriend of 2015 would have to be Dex from The Game Plan by Kristen Callihan. Or Gabe from Taking the Heat by Victoria Dahlz those 2 are in a pretty tight race for the the win.
Amanda Thompson
I have favorite book boyfriends. I read the Rock Chick series by Kristen Ashley this year and the men who these rock chicks fall in love with *fans self* they’re amazing!
Meredith Miller
Way too many to name! I’d hate to leave anyone out.
Diane Sallans
I’ve read JD Robb’s whole In Death series over the last year so I’d have to go with Roarke
Pam C. Lowery
SO MANY! Some of my favorites this year are: Jacob Dolan, A Father This Christmas by Louisa Heaton. Joe Montoya from A Moment on the Lips by Jennifer Faye (actually like all the men so far in the Whistle Stop series) Cameron St. John from From Best Friend to Bride by Jules Bennett ALL of the doctors in the Mid-Wives on Call series from the Harlequin Medical line ALL of the Bachelors from the Bachelor Auction series by Tule Publishing and Mac MacCallum from The Millionaire and the Maid by Michelle Douglas Dr. Timothy Duggan from the M.D.’s Unexpected Family by Cindy Kirk. I read about 3-4 books a week if not more, so I know I could list several more. Anything by Lynne Marshall or Janice Maynard or Christine Rimmer or Leanne Banks or Melissa McClone and I could add more but I know I would leave someone out.
erinf1
Reyes from the Charly Davidson series by Darynda Jones. thanks for the awesome giveaway! Love this blog 🙂
Jenny Dauksa Schaber
There were so many that I loved. One of my absolute favorites was Noah from The Risk by Skye Jordan. He’s an athlete, a little older and so very much more than his reputation leads you to believe.
Diana Garey
Cohen Cage from Unexpected Fate by Harper Sloan
angela smith
Liam in Once Upon a Friendship by Tara Taylor Quinn
angela smith

janinecatmom

becjames
That’s tough! Currently reading The Deal by Elle Kennedy, so Garrett is on my mind. 🙂
JeN White
Arturo from The Legend of Arturo King by LB Dunbar. He was a douchebag but changed for Gwennie.
Tanya Guthrie
I’m way too easy, I fall in love with almost every book I read. And I don’t break up after the story ends so I can’t actually pick a favorite! But for a recent book boyfriend, a friend sent me a copy of The Warlord by Elizabeth Elliot and I just finished it. <3 Kenric "the Butcher" right now!!! Honestly I love when the hero is bordering on barbaric at times.
Amy Rickman
Kane Masters form Perfectly Imperfect by Harper Sloan because he is a take charge alpha.
cheryl c.
My book boyfriend is usually in the book I am currently reading. I am very unfaithful! One of my boyfriends this year was Aidan Kincaid from Jill Shalvis’ “Second Chance Summer.”
kim amundsen
Sorry but way too many to list!
Joanna M.
Eek! Too many BBF to list because I kind of get one as soon as I start/finish reading a book however I don’t think any of them made it to the top of the list. Can I mention that Butch and Rhage from the BDB are my still two all-time favorite BFF? =D
infinitieh
Jonathon/Jack from Erin McCarthy’s YOU DON’T KNOW JACK because he’s hilarious. At one point, he”panted, like a thirsty Collie.” C’mon. That’s hysterical.
Laura Lovejoy Brunk
Reyes from The Grave series by Daryanda Jones, Jerrico from Fae series by Karen Marie Moning, Roark from The Death series by JD Robb….and many more
belindaegreen
