Best of 2016: The Heroes

Casee

1. Raphael from Archangel’s Heart by Nalini Singh: Archangel. Takes no prisoners. Badass beyond belief. Gives Elena everything she wants. <3

1. Raze Shadow from Shadow Falling by Rebecca Zanetti: I loved Raze. He was completely unapologetic for who and what he was. He existed solely to save his sister and damn the consequences.

2. Stefano Ferraro from Shadow Rider by Christine Feehan: Stefano was amazing. Once he laid eyes on Francesca, he unrepentant about the fact that she was his. His to take care of and his to love. Classic Feehan and I loved it.

3. Riley Lawless from Ruthless by Lexi Blake: Riley has one goal and that is revenge. Then love gets in the way and he’s willing to put his revenge on the back burner. Riley was an amazing hero.

4. Nykyrian Quikiades from Born of the Night by Sherrilyn Kenyon: I almost forgot about Nykyrian. He was amazing. Never believing that he deserved a happy ending, I was thrilled when he met his heroine and finally believed that he was worthy.

Holly

1. Jude Nickel from Steadfast by Sarina Bowen: Hey, Jude…Oh man, did I love him. His determination to stay the course and be the best he could be really grabbed me. It wasn’t easy, but he stayed the course and came into his full potential.

1. Kendrick from White Tiger by Jennifer Ashley: For more than twenty years, Kendrick led a band of un-collared, renegade shifters. He was loyal and true, and he had a really big heart.

2. William from Bayou Moon by Ilona Andrews: William had some self-esteem issues that came from being raised as lower than dirt in an uppity society, but he was strong, intelligent and willing to defend those he cared about with his life. I adored him.

3. Leo Trevi from Rookie Move by Sarina Bowen: Oh, Leo. How I adore thee….Leo was such a strong, stand-up kind of guy. I absolotuely loved him. He was everything I wanted in a Bowen hero, and more.

4. Casmir Prakenskii from Fire Bound by Christine Feehan: Feehan’s heroes tend to be over-the-top alphas, and Casmir was no exception..yet he still stood by his heroine and allowed her to make decisions for herself. That might not seem like a big deal, but it is for a Feehan guy. I loved how supportive he was, and how much faith he had in her and her ability to take care of herself.

Rowena

1. Lincoln Mathis from Someone Like You by Lauren Layne: His book is probably my favorite book of the year and he is my favorite hero of the year. I just loved him to pieces and adored him from the first time I met him in the first book until his book. I adored him to pieces and loved that he finally got his happily ever after.

1. Hawke Snow from Kiss of Snow by Nalini Singh: Hawke had me way before I read his book. Kind of like, Lincoln. I couldn’t wait to read Hawke’s book because I absolutely adored him right from the beginning and I continued to love him all the more when I finally read his book. Hawke doesn’t disappoint in his book. I love, love, love him.

2. Max Shannon from Bonds of Justice by Nalini Singh: I adored the hell out of Max Shannon. I loved his integrity, his strength of character and I absolutely loved the hell out of the way he loved Sophia.

3. Josh Tanner from For Better or Worse by Lauren Layne: I love flirty heroes and Josh was such a flirt. The way that he got under Heather’s skin, the way that he went toe to toe with her at every turn, it was so much fun and I loved how he grew to love Heather.

4. Josh Templeman from The Hating Game by Sally Thorne: Josh Templeman’s book was so much fun. I loved his work shirt game, his work shenanigans with Lucy and I really loved that he came into his own person without the family connections or the family path. I want to cuddle Josh at every turn. He was great!
