Book Boyfriends/Favorite Heroines List

Like many bibliophiles throughout the world, Steph and Dani have swooned over many, many boys from various books. This is a large list of boys who have caused our hearts to beat a little or a LOT faster, depending on the boy, in our years of reading books. This will be added to as we find more characters we love :)

Please let us know if we miss anyone! There are just way too many guys out there to remember all at once :)  

Also, if you are looking for anything good to read, here might be a place to start. We find that books with really awesome characters are automatically more interesting! We've separated boys and girls depending on what you're looking for, but know that many of these characters/series overlap with each other! If you look for overlaps, you can find especially good books, and usually have romance included in the genre! Lots of books with swoony boys also have great female leads too! 

On this list, boys and girls can be added (of course) and removed. In order to stay on this list, they have to be hot and STAY hot! Make sure that if you recommend a boy, they meet that itsy bitsy small requirement. This is also reassurance to people trying to get books off this list that they will love their characters and KEEP loving them forever and ever! It always hurts the most when we're let down by our favorites.

Note: We both have our favorites. Some of these boys are loved only by Steph and some are loved only by Dani. Also, some of these boys we just relatively find cute, and they might not be the "drowning in his hotness" type, but cute types.
