Booking Through Thursday

Who is your favorite Male lead character? And why?
Don’t forget to leave a link to your actual response (so people don’t have to go searching for it) in the comments—or if you prefer, leave your answers in the comments themselves!

You guys should know the answer to this one if you ever read my book blogs at all!

Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights)

He is a moody, dark character. He is (in my mind at least) hot without being a bastard about it. He loves to the very end (even if he is quite obsessive about it). He takes what he wants, when he wants and doesn’t apologize for it. I like that in a man.
