Anne here. Apparently in some parts of the world there is a day called "Boyfriend Day" — I think 3rd October. 
Despite the fact that I only heard of it this week, I'm pinching it and tweaking the idea and turning it onto "Book Boyfriend Day" instead.
"What is a book boyfriend?" I hear some of you ask? He's a book character that you love. I've had many many book boyfriends so far in my life, and hope to have many more. (Yes, I'm a literary floozy.)
So I've devised a little quiz about some of my book boyfriends. I'll describe them, you make a guess and at the end there's a link to my website where you can check your answers. Then you come back and tell us about some of your own book boyfriends.
I should add that the pictures I've included are NOT hints — none of them are in this quiz. Not all my book boyfriends have been portrayed on the screen. As well, though not all of my book boyfriends are historical, most are. And most of the books they live in were published quite a while ago.
GUESS MY BOOK BOYFRIENDS:
1) He's short, he's rather tubby, and though not particularly bright, he has a sweet personality (and a very sweet tooth). He has a lot of good friends and he lives next to a forest.
2) He's young, passionate, clever and competitive. He irritates the heroine intensely and sometimes calls her "Carrots."
3) He's intense, focussed, loyal, kind-hearted, deeply honorable and passionate about opera. Rejected by his intended's family, he turns his attention to making a fortune to be worthy of her. He succeeds, is accepted . . . and discovers she's not the woman he imagined her to be.
4) He's younger than the heroine, idealistic and honorable, in constant trouble — not his fault — it's a troublesome time in Scotland. He's brave and very sexy, despite his inexperience with women.
5) He's big, quietly capable, intelligent, and he has a wicked sense of humor. Finding himself underestimated by his new-found relatives, he acts the country yokel for his own amusement. But when a crisis hits, he's utterly brilliant.
6) He's well-born, handsome, rather snobbish, a little stiff in company, loyal to his friends and honorable. He's not afraid to admit when he was wrong, but tact is not his middle name.
7) This guy is an all-time readers favorite. He's rich, well born, badly behaved and very ugly. Watching him being challenged by his heroine (with a gun, no less) and learn and grow into the man he should be, is a delight. 
8) He's French, rich, handsome and sophisticated. For a while, at least, he's misunderstood by his heroine, who thinks he might be a child-murdering villain. His name sounds like the sound a cat might make, but such is his impact, romance writers ever since have regarded it as a name for a hero.
9) He spent most of his childhood in a madhouse because his condition was not understood in those times. He's awkward and unconventional in society, and doesn't communicate much, but he's extremely intelligent, and when he meets his heroine he knows exactly what he wants — her.
10) He's well-born and handsome as an angel, but he's a gambler and a rake, with a dissolute reputation. And he's broke. Seizing the change to marry a woman he doesn't love for the sake of her fortune, he surprises himself and everyone else, by becoming the ideal husband.
11) He's big, he's named after a wild animal and he has an unsavory (and undeserved) reputation in town – mostly because of his ancestry. With a strong sexual drive — the first words he thinks are, He needed a woman. Bad. — he behaves honorably towards women, and he rescues the heroine who is out of her accustomed environment.
12) He's a big, blonde rogue of a seaman, the black sheep of his family, with an eye for the ladies and a talent for trouble. When the heroine smuggles herself on board dressed as a man, he plays naughty games to tease her — and unwittingly falls in love.
That's it — a round dozen — and that's just the tip of the iceberg. I tried to stick to only one hero per author, and I did have some trouble deciding.
Now, to check your answers, click on this link, and it will take you to a page on my website with the answers. Don't forget to come back and tell us how you went — and to share a few of your own book boyfriends.
I love these little quizzes that you create, but I did just terrible with this one. The only one I knew outright was number 3 – probably because I just read MAGIC FLUTES recently. And because of the “carrots” remark, I knew number 2 was from ANNE OF GREEN GABLES but I couldn’t remember the name. I’m ashamed to say that I didn’t even recognize Winnie the Pooh, and I was racking my brain.
Part of the problem is that I read so many of these books that many of the descriptions seemed to fit several characters I could think of. And (boo-hoo) none of them were correct.
I don’t know that I have a favorite book boyfriend although Wulfric from Mary Balogh’s SLIGHTLY DANGEROUS came to mind. I’m the kind of gal that can appreciate any hero (alpha or beta) who is well written.
Keep the quizzes coming. I love them, even when I do badly.

Oh, this was fun! I love that you began with Winnie the Pooh. I only missed #4 which is fitting since that is the only book on the list that I haven’t read. (I tried, but it is just not for me.) I definitely share your love for Hugh Darracott. I think a sense of humor is underrated as a heroic quality. And I love Dain, but I love Vere Mallory, Duke of Ainswood, from Chase’s The Last Hellion even more. Joe Willard (a writer from his youth) from Maud Hart Lovelace’s Betsy-Tacy series was probably my first book boyfriend, although Gilbert Blythe was not far behind him. I also loved Mac in Louisa May Alcott’s Rose in Bloom. Even at a young age, I preferred a nerd to a bad boy.
Of course, one of the joys of being a romance reader is not having to choose but having unlimited book boyfriends, including nerds and bad boys, dukes and cowboys,lordly alphas and bashful betas. I have a long list, but this week my top six, evenly divided between historical and contemporary, are Quinn Hunter from Kathleen Gilles Seidel’s Till the Stars Fall, Harry Durant from your His Captive Lady, Adam Sylvaine from Julie Anne Long’s A Notorious Countess Confesses, Leopold Dautry, Duke of Villiers, from Eloisa James’s A Duke of Her Own (and other books), Blue Reynard from Ruth Wind/Barbara Samuel’s In the Midnight Rain, and Cam Early from Pamela Morsi’s Red’s Hot Honky-Tonk Bar. Next week I might make different choices.

The only one I got was #4. I should have gotten #8, but it has been too long since I read it. I was a little disappointed you didn’t include the man who has been my book boyfriend since 1978 – Francis Crawford of Lymond (Dorothy Dunnett Lymond Chronicles)

Oh, what a fun and adorable surprise Winnie the Pooh was!
I got 4, 5, 6, 7 and 11. #5 is one of my all-time favorite heroes, too!
This was great fun…and, yeah, maybe include Francis Crawford of Lymond next time?

I had never read five of the books, although like Janga,, I tried #4 and couldn’t connect. Of the remaining 7, I got #1 and #5, and recognized the author of 8, but couldn’t choose between two of her books. The correct answer was one of the two, so I guess I was half correct.
I SHOULD have gotten #11, one of my favorite books (and series), but I fell down flat with that one!
Not a wonderful score, but it was a WONDERFUL quiz.
Thank you for the fun.

Well, I got 4,5,6,7, and 9. #5 is definitely one of my all-time favorites.
I’m a bit embarrassed, but I thought #1 was the Hobbit.

I’ve been off-line for a few months and I come back to a fun quiz! I was able to answer correctly #s 1, 2, 4, 6 & 9. for #s 5, 7, 10& 12 I guessed the author but couldn’t remember the name of the hero–though I ought to have known #10! The others I had no clue, as I hadn’t read them before.
As for the pics, Anne, they are definitely dreamy and worthy book boyfriends!

Although I read five out of the twelve books, the only one I got right was #6. I’m checking out the other books I didn’t read. Fun quiz! Thanks for posting it, Anne.

fun, but I did poorly. Gilbert Blythe and Mr. Darcy…..even though I have read some of the other books, I didn’t recognize the heroes. My hero? Sherlock Holmes.

Thanks, Mary — I enjoy making up little quizzes from time to time, so I’m glad you enjoy them. This was a hard one, I know — but with some I’ve done people say “too easy” so . . . And yes, I suppose some of the descriptions could have fitted several characters. I suspect you were on of the few who did recognize #3, so well done.

Janga, it was so hard to pick 12 from all the potential book boyfriends — and in a few cases, when in doubt, I chose characters that I thought more people would recognize. Thank you for mentioning my Harry from Hus Captive Lady — he is one of my faves, too.
So pleased you enjoyed the quiz. Thank you.

Sarah, I did think of Francis but apart from my childhood crushes, I was trying to stick to romance heroes. Because otherwise the floodgates of possibility would open *g*

I got Jamie, Hugo, Darcy and Lord Ian. I should have gotten a couple more. Fun!

Thanks, Lillian — #1 really was the first book character I loved — though I also loved some of his friends. I’ve never been a big Hobbit fan, but it was a reasonable guess.
As for #5, I love him so much, but it was a big toss-up between him and Damerel. So hard to choose . . . *g*

Thanks Suzanne, so glad you enjoyed the quiz. And the pics *g* I realize in retrospect I should have asked people to guess the hero’s name OR the book title — because a few people had said they knew the book but couldn’t remember the guy’s name. Anyway, it’s just a bot of fun.

Thanks, Patricia — glad you enjoyed it. It doesn’t really matter how many people guessed or didn’t – it’s just for fun. Thanks for playing.

Sherlock is a good choice, Linnea, though I was going (except for the first few) for romantic heroes. What do you think of the various versions of Sherlock that appearing on the screen these days?

Patricia, I should have said the name of the hero or the book they came from, because it’s the same thing, really. When I was doing the answers, I had to look up some of their surnames. Thanks for playing. Looking forward to your guest posting on WordWenches, too.

What a fun quiz! I recognized 3,4,5,7 & 9. Some of my book boyfriends are Lord Peter Wimsey, Cyn from My Lady Notorious, William Doyle from The Forbidden Rose and Vidal from The Devil’s Cub. I guess I enjoy heroes who are not adverse to a little bit of trouble!

The only one I got totally correct was #9, Lord Ian. #8 I had a brief thought of Mary Stewart but didn’t pursue that line of thinking.
After reading the answers I’m going, YES #5, perfect description. Also for #10 & 11. All three of whom are swoon worth. Love Wolf….

Not many posts put a big grin on my face, but this one did. I didn’t guess many but from your great descriptions, I want to know them ALL. (I already downloaded the madhouse one.) My best book boyfriend has always been the Unknown Ajax, glad you included him.

I got Winnie the Pooh but thought I was wrong. I instantly knew Gilbert Blythe as I played Anne on stage years ago and my Gilbert just got engaged today so he was very much on my mind. And I got James Mallory. It was always a toss up between him and Anthony As to which was my favorite. The rest left me in the dark until I checked and realized my to be read pile has to be expanded! Too many I’ve never read or don’t remember reading.

Thanks, Karin. I decided not to include any wench heroes, as if I have one, I feel I ought to include one from everyone. I also decided on only one from each author, so only one Heyer too. As for Lord Peter Wimsey, I remember reading him when I was a teen and I didn’t take to him, though some of my friends loved him. Maybe it’s time for a reread.

Karen, it was a toss-up with a lot of these heroes — the Heyer ones gave me the hardest time. James made the cut because I do like a bad boy. Today. Tomorrow I might be all for the wounded heroes . . . Hope this helps you find some new keepers.

I think Jack Mezzanotte from The Gilded Hour by Sara Donati
ranks right up there with Jamie Fraser, who has been my book boyfriend since I met him in 1991. I am looking forward to seeing Jack again in the sequel!

Hi Anne, I share 5 book boyfriends with you. If I had to choose my own favourite it would be a toss up between your number 10 and Vere Mallory from The Last Hellion. I adore #9 as well. And the Earl of Rule from Georgette Heyer’s The Convenient Marriage. I do like a man who can get his way without raising his voice but is deadly with a sword when required.
From more recent reads, I’m rather fond of Jace Kennedy from Rough and Tumble by Rhenna Morgan and Stefano Ferraro from Shadow Rider by Christine Feehan. I reckon they would have been mates with Sebastian B and Vere M if they’d been born in the right era. 🙂 Then, of course, there is Rupert (Carsington) from Mr Impossible and Simon Hunt from Secrets of a Summer Night – but they break the one boyfriend/author rule. Clearly, I am also a literary floozy!

Hi Anne, my original comment disappeared so apologies if it appears twice! Of course I got Winnie the Pooh after just a couple of words, my first book boyfriend! I flirted with Noddy for a while but strangely, he didn’t seem interested in me 🙂
I got Jamie Fraser (sigh) but none of the others. My favourite book boyfriends (apart from a few others from fiction that I can’t think of the name of right now) seem to be my own heroes. That sounds a bit sad, doesn’t it? But I do like to read and write Alphalfa heroes (as Kelly Hunter likes to call hers!) Just ordinary guys who do heroic things.

I got 8 but wish I had picked James Mallory (now I want to read that whole series again). Thanks for reminding me of many of my faves and a couple I now have to read!

I got three, but guessed wrong on many and one or two I didn’t remember, or wouldn’t have described that way. It’s interesting to me, what other people think makes a “hero” 🙂

CC I think it’s lovely that you prefer your own made-to-order heroes. *g* And I and at least one other wench are huge fans of Kelly Hunter’s “alfalfa heroes” — love that term. Thanks for dropping by.

I think that’s part of the fascination, Janice — different heroes appealing to different people. And seeing different qualities in them. Thanks for playing.
