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



  







Double Take Covers: The Pledge by Kimberly Derting

This one looks AWESOME!! I'm really, really digging Dystopian right now, just because it's a nice change of pace from urban fantasy and paranormal (Yes, I still love those novels too!) THE BODY FINDER by Ms. Derting was one of the best books I read in 2010, so I can't wait to get my hands on this one. THE PLEDGE hits shelves November 15th 2011 (published by Margaret K. McElderry (Simon & Schuster)) so be sure to look out for it this fall! 

Plot:

Words are the most dangerous weapon of all.


In the violent country of Ludania, the classes are strictly divided by the language they speak. The smallest transgression, like looking a member of a higher class in the eye while they are speaking their native tongue, results in immediate execution. Seventeen-year-old Charlaina has always been able to understand the languages of all classes, and she’s spent her life trying to hide her secret. The only place she can really be free is the drug-fueled underground clubs where people go to shake off the oppressive rules of the world they live in. It's there that she meets a beautiful and mysterious boy named Max who speaks a language she's never heard before . . . and her secret is almost exposed.

Charlie is intensely attracted to Max, even though she can’t be sure where his real loyalties lie. As the emergency drills give way to real crisis and the violence escalates, it becomes clear that Charlie is the key to something much bigger: her country’s only chance for freedom from the terrible power of a deadly regime.

Tempest Rising by Tracy Deebs - ARC Review

Title: Tempest Rising
Author: Tracy Deebs
Hardcover, 352 pages

Expected publication: May 10th 2011 by Walker Books for Young Readers
Source: ARC

Plot:

Tempest Maguire wants nothing more than to surf the killer waves near her California home; continue her steady relationship with her boyfriend, Mark; and take care of her brothers and surfer dad. But Tempest is half mermaid, and as her seventeenth birthday approaches, she will have to decide whether to remain on land or give herself to the ocean like her mother. The pull of the water becomes as insistent as her attraction to Kai, a gorgeous surfer whose uncanny abilities hint at an otherworldly identity as well. And when Tempest does finally give in to the water's temptation and enters a fantastical underwater world, she finds that a larger destiny awaits her—and that the entire ocean's future hangs in the balance.

Song on constant repeat in my head while I read this novel: Love Song by 311


My Thoughts:

The first thing that pulls me into a novel is voice, and let me tell you, this one has plenty of it! I could hear the characters in my head. Each one had their own quirks, actions and/or sayings. That really takes a story to the next level for me.

I loved the plot of this novel and how Tempest knew about her mermaid status instead of just discovering it, like we typically get in YA paranormal/fantasy novels. Making her a kick-ass surfer, who is a natural in the water, drives home that she destine for the water. Tempest's loathing for her mermaid mother who abondoned her family is apparent and I love how she never wavers from that anger. It makes it very real, like in real life, it takes more than a soft smile and all is forgiven.

I loved Tempest's long-time boyfriend, Mark. He really cares for Tempest and you can see it in all of his actions, which it made it hard for me to accept Kai as the new love interest. (Which is the only reason I gave this one a 4/5) I know there is this unbelivable pull between Kai and Tempest, but I felt bad for Mark the whole time. I kept thinking, you're going to break Mark's heart! LOL Lame, I know, but also a sign of great writing. It's hard to make people care about ALL of your characters.

So As you can tell, I loved this one!! Add it to your to-be-read lists if you like saucy love triangles, great YA voice, mermaid stories and other world fantasies!

Looking forward to book two!!

After Midnight (The Youngbloods #1) by Lynn Viehl - ARC Review

Title: After Midinght (TheYoungbloods #1)
Author: Lynn Viehl
Paperback, 336 pages
Expected publication: May 8th 2011 by Flux
Source: ARC

Plot:

Sophomore Catlyn Youngblood is used to the nomadic existence she and her two older brothers have shared since the death of their parents. When they settle down for good in the sleepy backwoods town of Lost Lake, Florida, Cat thinks they might finally fit in. Instead, they're shunned by the locals.


While riding her horse late one night, Cat meets an enigmatic and handsome boy named Jesse Raven. Even more strange than her overpowering attraction to him is Jesse's apparent aversion to the sun. As their attraction intensifies, long-kept secrets come to light. Cat learns that the Ravens are a centuries-old vampire clan . . . and worse still, that she and her brothers are descendents of Abraham Van Helsing, the world-famous vampire hunter. Mortal enemies by blood, the two families do all they can to keep them apart. But Cat and Jesse will risk everything to be together—including death.

My Thoughts:

If you've read my past reviews, you know I am a serious sucker for paranormal romance. This book is full of it. Yes, I will tell you parts of the this relationship feels rushed. They become too gah-gah for each other a little soon. However, I still love it when two characters are willing to do anything for each other. Abandon their families, chance dying or whatever it takes to be together. It totally adds to the romance.

There really isn't any elements that make it stand out among other YA paranormal romances I've read, but that didn't keep me from enjoying this one. The element that makes Cat and Jesse mortal enemies was a nice touch though. I love the VanHelsing story as well as the movie with Kate Beckinsale and Hugh Jackman.

Read this one if you like paranormal romance.
