Welcome to my stop on the 25 Days of Book Boyfriends tour, hosted by Lovin' Los Libros, Starbucks & Books Obsession and Readers Live a Thousand Lives. Every day until Christmas a different awesome blog is featuring a different flavor of hotness. What better way to warm you up this month than that?? Check out each stop on the tour - many will have giveaways!

Today I get to introduce you to the incredible, brave, beautiful and amazing...

Aiden St. Delphi

...from Jennifer L. Armentrout's Covenant series. I'm not the only one who loves him. Alexandria, the object of his desire, had a thing for him from the very first time she saw him.

I'd never forget his name or face. The first time I'd caught a glimpse of him standing in front of the training area, a ridiculous crush had sprung alive. I'd been fourteen and he seventeen. The fact he was a pure-blood hadn't mattered whenever I'd spotted him around campus.

So, why, out of the hundreds of book boyfriends I've met over the years, does Aiden continue to resonate with me? Perhaps it's his many, MANY redeeming qualities.

And, I'm not just talking about how beautiful he is either. Aiden is...

Wise

"I know how brave you are, Alex. But you don't always have to be. It's okay every once in a while to let someone else be brave for you. There's no loss of dignity in that. Not for you. You've already proven that you have more dignity than even a pure-blood can muster."

Selfless

"I can't let myself love you. If I did, I would take everything from you - everything. I can't do that to you. I won't do that to you."

Talented

After a few more moments of adjusting the tone, he started playing. The song was as haunting as it was soft, pitching high for a few strands, and then his fingers slipped down the chords. My suspicions were confirmed. Aiden could play. There wasn't one wrong slip or falter. 

Good With His Hands

Easing me down on the bed, his hands glided from my face to my arms. Next his hands traveled over my stomach, then my hip, and under the hem of my dress. Somehow the top of my dress ended up at my waist, and his mouth moved over my body... Aiden pulled his lips away from mine, and I made a sound of protest, but then his mouth trailed across my throat and to the base of my neck. My skin burned and my thoughts were on fire. 

A Warrior

Aiden stood above me, legs widespread and shoulders back, dark hair falling in messy disarray, eyes the color of steel and just as hard. Power - natural, trained power that came from years of dedication - radiated from him. He was a tall, looming force to be reckoned with... He was a warrior, and I was awed.

A Brother

Before either of us could say another word, Deacon darted from the door and launched himself onto the bed, soaring through the air like a human projectile... He landed with his legs on his brother and the upper part of his body between us. 

Deacon threw his arms behind his head, folding them as he tipped his head back and grinned at us. "It's like a puppy pile."

"A puppy pile?" Aiden arched a brow. "You are so weird."

Good With Words

He let out a ragged sound and when he spoke; his voice was so low that I barely heard him. "I think... I'll remember how you looked last night for the rest of my life. Gods, you were so beautiful."
