Fictional Boyfriend #27

I don't know how many of you have read the book the Luxe or if you've read the sequel, Rumors, but they are pretty overly dramatic books. The reason I'm even bothering to read the sequel is because once I pick up a book, I can't put it down. Same goes for a series. These books are definately not my favorite, but I somewhat enjoy reading them and this is where we get the next boy who made the list.
His name is William or Will Keller. He was the coach driver for the Holland family. Can you already see the romance in this? *rolls eyes* Some stories are just SO predictable. Anyways, the year is 1899, a time where young girls married mainly for money and very few of them got to marry the man they love. Elizabeth Holland was one of these girls. She was going to have to marry Henry Schoonmaker in order to take her once wealthy family out of debut. The downside to this? She was NOT in love with the much sought after Henry, but rather the lowly coach driver, Will Keller. Will then ran away to California to get rich and told Elizabeth to come after him. Elizabeth was then torn since she still had the issue of Henry. Her "best friend" helped her fake her death and she ran away to California to find him.
So the story goes on into a bunch of tradegies and whatnot. But the fact is, Will was one of the only reasons why I still sorta like reading the story. His and Elizabeth's romance is so scandalous.... especially when they are living in California and they tell everyone they are already married. =]

And now I'm scared to finish the book since every review I've read is telling me that the ending is sad and depressing... what am I going to do?? I don't need to be depressed right now!!!

This post is going to be probably pretty short since this guy really doesn't turn into a sweetheart till the very end of the book. So basically, I'm just promoting the book today.
Today's book promotion =] is about Saving Juliet.
I really like this book, just like all the other books on my list. It's really unrealistic, but still fun to read since it has such a neat plot. Somehow Mimi and her costar Troy [they are both in Romeo and Juliet the play] get stuck in Romeo and Juliet and actually go back to the 1600s or whenever the story takes place. They are at first seperated and Mimi gets ushered to the Capulet house since she is still wearing her costume from the play [she went outside for a breath of fresh air during her break and Troy ended up following her- both got sent to Shakespeare's play] and Troy got sent to the Monague house since he was wearing his costume from the play. They finally find each other and go through a list of events that happen in the play. Mimi befriends Juliet and Romeo and helps get them together and it's really cool because at the end, they don't die. They actually run off together.
So back to Troy...
Troy is this big time heartthrob who was basically doing the threatre a favor by playing Romeo in the play. Naturally, he's a jerk/snob. Poor Mimi was helpless, like all other adoring fans, but didn't show that she liked him. Then this whole go-back-in-time-during-a-play thing happened and she realized that she couldn't hide her feelings and well Troy was crazy about her anyways so it's all good.
I totally recommed this book.

Before I get to my list, I'd like to tell you a book I do NOT recommend under any circumstance. It was probably one of the WORST books I've ever read in my life and I greatly discourage any of you from wasting your time even looking at it. The book is called Bleed by Laurie Faria Stolarz. I picked up the book thinking it would be great since Laurie wrote it, but all I gained from that book was how disgusting an author can be. It was so full of disturbing things, I could barely finish it, which is saying a lot since once I begin a book, no matter how bad it is, I WILL finish it. Ugh, it was soooo bad!!!!
List time!!!
Today's addition is Stefan from The Vampire Diaries. As you may have already guessed, Stefan is a vampire who ends up falling in love with Elena, a human. These stories are actually really entertaining. The story is the coolest plot ever. It is totally bizzare and always has you guessing. I loved every part of it. The whole "bonding" thing was very interesting and just how two brothers could hate each other so much but then finally getting together to save the town from the superior power of evil. Gosh I hate Katherine [one of the characters in the story that you will find out is a total jerk and is awful and don't forget evil!]!! I was very upset with the way she acted in the 3rd installment. I was pretty happy when she died though... but then again, I didn't like that Elena died along with her.
The funny thing is, I was just rereading that part and almost started crying again! L.J. Smith just pours so much emotion into their relationship, so you are literally heartbroken when she dies. The ending is amazing though. I was crying out of sadness but soon turned that around and was crying because I was so happy! Amazing books! Lovely relationship...

The boy who made the list today isn't really a boy and I don't really consider him a "boyfriend." He's more just listed here as an honorable mention so that society doesn't forget him. This boy's name is Jackson and he is a ghost, like many of my boys. He comes back and haunts his girlfriend, whom he loved unconditionally. Ava, his girlfriend, is totally distraught over his death [who wouldn't be?] and he ends up coming back for her. This makes it easier for her, but yet in the long run, it's bad since she can't offically get over him. He visits her in her dreams and always tells her he won't leave her, that he loves her, etc. She eventually realizes that she should probably let him go, and when she "discusses" this with Jackson, he flips out. After long persuasions, Ava convinces him to leave her and move on, and know that she will never forget him and all the rest of that sappy stuff.
The real reason why I adored I Heart You, You Haunt Me is because it is written as poetry. The whole book tells the story through poems. I love it!!

Has anyone ever considered Voldemort to be a good boyfriend? I mean he does have a lot of power and whatnot... He was really cute until Harry distorted his face, so maybe he does belong here!! Without further ado, I will explain to you why Kieren made the list.
Kieren is a werewolf who is actually more of a shape-shifter since he can FINALLY control when he turns and when he doesn't. So we have our main character, Quincie, who is in love with our shape-shifting werewolf since middle school. He loves her too, but that one fateful day out on the train-tracks proved to pretty much destroy a romantic relationship. Kieren, then, couldn't control his outburst and accidently extended his claws and cut straight through her hand. Since then, he has always kept his distance for her. Then, a change of the story occurs and for some reason [just read it], Quincie is now a vampire. Instead of hating her, like legends always say, he gets to finally express that love for her since she is unbreakable =]. I really loved this book, at least for the most part. Oh yeah!! Hahaha the book is called Tantalize!

Fictional Boyfriend #22

Again, I am surprised that I didn't post this boyfriend sooner. His name is Alexander and he lives in a little town called Dullsville. Raven has the pleasure of being the one to recieve his affection. It's actually sorta weird. Out of all the vampire books I've read so far, the Vampire Kisses series is the closest to a "traditional" vampire story. Alexander is "allergic" to garlic, can't go out in the sun, drinks blood, turns into a bat, sleeps in a coffin, etc. It's the real deal with this series. =] Anyways, Alexander moves into Dullsville and soon catches the interest of goth girl, Raven. They end up getting to know one another and she is continuously wondering if he's a vampire. At first, that's the only reason why she wants to get to know him. But after awhile, she realizes she really likes him and only at the end of the first book does he really confirm he's a vampire.
Back to Alexander as a character: He is beyond awesome. He can paint beautiful pictures [since he doesn't show up on film or appear in mirrors, this is the only thing he has left] and think of the perfect things to do with Raven. Since she's a little on the strange side, she doesn't mind having picnics in graveyards and thinks it's a romantic date. With Alexander there, it is a marvelous date. Everything is wonderful with him around.

Hmmm... I would like to start this post out with a question. Did any of you wonder when I was going to post about Dimitri from Vampire Academy? Well I'm surprised no one *cough Watching cough* mentioned it =]. I'm actually surprised I haven't mentioned Dimitri earlier. I mean, hello, sexy dhampir [did I spell that right?]!!! He is an amazing character. Seriously... I fell in love with the series BECAUSE of him. He is Rose's [main character] tutor and well she's is totally head over heels in love with him... and to her surprise so is he. I really don't want to give the books away at ALL, they are really that good. I just know that when Dimitri is in a loving mood, he'll call Rose Roza, which is Rose in Russian. SOOOO ROMANTIC!!! Read Vampire Academy and see how you like it. Then read Frostbite, and lastly wait until November 13 to read Shadow Kiss. The only thing I wasn't too happy with was what happened to Mason. The only reason this thing happened to him was the Rose needed an easy out of their relationship.

Fictional Boyfriend #20

Sorry I haven't posted in a long time!! Before I get to my list, I'd like to say that I really like the Killers new song: Human. It's amazing!! I just hope that they don't overplay it and make it suck they radio stations are famous for. Anyways, back to the list. Today's addition is Evan Kirkland from Bloom. I honestly don't know why I was so into this guy. He seems kinda like a guy I'd be interested in.
So the story kinda goes like this: Lauren's dad is the type of guy who moves from one girl to another right after he dumps them. Unfortuantely, Lauren grew up in an environment, never knowing who would play the role of her mom next. Evan's mom played that role for Lauren at a certain point in her life, which made Evan move into the house with his mom, Lauren and her dad.
Evan and Lauren got along fairly well. Then, one day, Lauren's dad dumped Evan's mom because he got someone new. Lauren was devestated. She knew how much Evan loved the Chronicles of Narnia, so she slipped her book set into his boxes.
Later in life, during high school, Evan and his mom end up moving back into her town and they come face to face this time. They end up getting close again and actually get together. It's so amazing to be how everything works out. Then one day Evan's mom walks in on them making out and she brought up how she thought Lauren already had a boyfriend [Dave]. Then she made a comment that was something like this, "Just like your father."
Lauren ran out of the house realizing how right she was and Evan ended up following her and told her he loves her.
The story ends up tying together happily- Lauren breaks up with Dave, Lauren gets with Evan, etc.
The cutest part of it all? Evan still has that book set.
