Bad Boys Make Me Melt: 10 of the Hottest of the Bad!

There's just something about a bad boy isn't there? I mean, come on, tell me you didn't have a little soft spot for that rebel guy in your high school. The one who wasn't afraid to flip off a teacher, pull a prank or ride a motorcycle. Is it because they are rebels living without a cause. Out to raise hell and say a big F.U. to all authority?

Who knows really why we love them. I just know when a book throws in the residential bad boy, who is well written, that book quickly jumps to my OMGILOVETHISBOOKSOMUCHYOUSHOULDALLREADITRIGHTNOW stack. *sigh* I love them. Let's face it, sex sells, and these boys are the epitome of hotness. Here's my list in no particular order of hotness and a few videos to go with it. ENJOY, and feel free to shout out who is your favorite literary/televison/movie/rocker bad boy.


 1.) Damon Salvatore from Vampire Diaries

(TV) Damon Quotes:
Stefan: Are you actually gonna be careful for once?


Damon: Yes, I've become you. How tragic for both of us. Gotta run. Have a murder to plan. Busy day.


2.) Eric Northman from the Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood Series

"I don't like having feelings," _Eric Northman"

3.) Patch from Hush, Hush Series


"Do you want to possess my body?"

"I want to do a lot of things to you body, but that's not one of them."

- Patch And Nora (Hush Hush)

 4.) Luc from Personal Demons

"Gabriel.

This has to be his fault, somehow. I'm going to track him down, pluck out his angel feathers, and stuff a pillow with them." --Luc, Personal Demons

5.) Ren from Nightshade

"What are you doing?” I tried to pull away, but his hand slipped from my hair to cup the nape of my neck.

When he whispered, his warm breath brushed over my lips. “Just let me kiss you, Calla. You don’t know how long I’ve wanted to. No one has to know.”

My lips parted as I drew a sudden, startled breath and in that instant his mouth was on mine, soft as velvet. I closed my eyes against the rush of a hundred wings that suddenly beat in my chest and soared through my body.

His scent was all around me. Leather, sandalwood, bonfires in autumn. He pulled back, but only for the sake of moving his lips to trail over my neck.

My blood was on fire and I was shaking. Is this really happening?

I couldn’t stop thinking about Shay in the clearing. About asking him to kiss me. The electric touch of his lips on mine.

But this is where I belong. I tried to push the memories back.

Ren stroked my knee, his fingers wandering up my thigh, sliding beneath the hem of my dress.

I grabbed his wrist. “Wait.”

He didn’t free his arm from my grasp but continued kissing my collar bone.

“Let’s skip the waiting part,” he murmured into my skin." --Ren and Calla

6.) Adrian from Vampire Diaries

"You've asked me out tons of times."

"Not really. I've made inappropriate suggestions and frequently pushed for nudity. But I've never asked you out on a real date." --Adrian and Rose

7.) Seth from the Wicked Lovely Series

"She stood in his kitchen, watching him toy with the ring in his lip. It wasn't quite that he was biting it, but sucking it into his mouth. He did that when he was concentrating. It isn't sexy. He's not sexy. But he was, and she was staring at him like a fool. "wow" she whispered (.....)"Wow, huh?" His voice was low, husky. His chair creaked as he stood. His footsteps seemed strangely loud as he closed the couple yards between them. Then he was beside her. "I can work with wow" --Seth and Aislinn

 8.) Dean Winchester from TV's Supernatural

Sam Winchester: Hey Dean... what I said earlier, about mom and dad, I'm sorry...

Dean Winchester: [raises hand to stop Sam] No chick flick moments.

Sam Winchester: Alright... jerk.

Dean Winchester: Bitch.

9.) Lucas Ross from The Evernight Series

"You're impossible," he murmured. "But you're worth it."--Lucus tp Biannica 



10.) Dante from The Hourglass Door Series



"I'm not who you think I am, Abby," he said in English.

I almost smiled. It was the kind of melodramatic line people said in bad made-for-TV movies, but then I saw his eyes, bleak and distant, and I knew he was telling the truth.

"I thought you were Dante Alexander, foreign-exchange student visiting from Italy."

He shook his head slowly, sadly. "Not exactly." --Dante and Addby



  







Damon Salvatore: Seriously Does It Get Any Better?

So last night I was up watching the last four Vampire Diaries on my DVR and I couldn't help thinking about how great a character Damon Salvatore is. I mean, not only is he hot, but he is so complex. He himself can't figure what his place is in the story. He really wants to be bad, but for Elaina he'd change everything. He'd become a good guy. His love for Elaina drives him so wild he feels the need to constantly distract himself because he knows he can never have her. *Sigh* I just love him. Srsly, look at him. Could they have picked a better guy to play Damon.

First Person Present the New HOT thing in YA??

A lot of people HATE first person point of view for what ever reason and dislike present tense even more. I myself, LOVE IT! I've been writing in first present for a couple years, and I got to tell ya, it just feels natural to me--kind of like my best friend is telling me the story. It brings me closer to the main character and makes me care for them like they are my BFF and am apart of something happening right now.

In the last few weeks I've gotten my hands on some pretty buzz-worthy ARCs and I've noticed a few of them were written in 1st person POV, which made me quite happy! But now I'm left wondering...IS present tense now the HOT trendy way to write YA?

What do you guys think??? Have you heard any agent/editor buzz on it?
