Hero of the Month: Prince Ash.

Posted December 8, 2010 by Rowena in Features | 5 Comments

This month’s hero of the month comes from a hero who will be getting their own story very soon.

If you haven’t been around Twitter lately then you missed Julie Kagawa’s announcement that Prince Ash from the Iron Fae series is getting his own book, titled The Iron Knight. Oh holy goodness, I cannot tell you how excited I am for that book and to be honest, that news alone is one of the reasons why Ash is this month’s Hero of the Month.

It’s no secret that I’m totally:

…so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that sooner or later, Ash would have ended up as Hero of the Month! There are so many reasons why I love Prince Ash of the Unseelie Court so let me count the ways…=)

When we first meet Ash (not when we first see him) but when we first meet him, you could just tell that he was going to be filled to the brim with hottiness and he certainly is. I loved the whole ice prince thing he had going for him because though he was all cold and aloof, you could tell that he burned hot for little Miss Meghan Chase. As the series progressed, my love for Prince Ash grew until I was near bursting with it all.

How can you not love someone who did what they did at the end of The Iron Daughter? Seriously? Check out some of the reasons that I melt every time Ash gets some air time (quotes from Goodreads)

“One more thing,” Ash said in his dangerous, soft voice as we turned away. “If you do not return with her,” Ash continued, staring him down, “if she comes to any harm while she is with you, I will turn this entire camp into a bloodbath. That is my promise, lieutenant.”

***

“Forgive me,” Ash murmured, and I heard the faintest of tremors beneath his voice. “But I can’t…I won’t…give her up. Not now, when I’ve just found her.”

***

“You’re here, and the only dance I want is this one.”

“His forehead bumped softly against mine, his brilliant silver gaze searing into me. “I plan to keep you, from everyone, for as long as I’m alive. That includes Puck, the false king, and anyone else who would take you away.” One corner of his mouth quirked, as I struggled to catch my breath under his powerful scrutiny. “I guess I should’ve warned you that I have a slight possessive streak.”

***

“Hey, princess.”

“Hey,” I whispered, as Ash slipped his arms around my waist from behind, drawing me close. I could feel his glare aimed at Puck over my head, a silent, protective gesture that spoke louder than any words. Mine. Back off.”

***

“You are my heart, my life, my entire existence.”

I’m a sucker for romance and I’m a goner for possessive guys who love the heck out of their women and there’s no doubt in my mind that Prince Ash loves him some Meghan Chase (oh to be loved by someone as fiercely hot as Ash is).

The way that he loved Meghan and the lengths to which he went to protect her and show his love for her made me go soft each and every time. How could I not love him? He was also hotter than Hell and that helped matters a whole lot as well.

In my head, this is what he looked like:

Yum!
