It’s Time to Vote for Your Favorite Bad Boy
You voted and here are the top 12 Bad Boys nominated by you, the readers of AAR.
And, as promised, here’s the poll in which one Bad Boy will emerge triumphant as…well, AAR Readers’ Unofficial Favorite Bad Boy.
This time out, it’s limited to fictional characters, but the suggestion to expand into movies and TV is a most excellent one and it will be forthcoming.
But, in the meantime, let’s wallow in our fictional love.
A note: Eric Northman insisted on being included. Really he did. It was out of my hands. Also much gratitude to LinnieGayl, statistical guru and all around pal, for putting together the top 10.
So, hit me. (And it would be nice to get as many votes as possible to make this as Official an Unofficial poll as we can.)

Bless whoever voted for DEVIL’S WALTZ but I voted for Vidal. Be still my heart!
I had a hard time deciding — gave me a lot to think about, why bad boys work etc. I think I’ll blog about it next week.

Love the poll and results! Eric of course by a landslide though I love that pix of “”Spike”” aka James Marsten. Can’t wait to place my vote for him!

Sebastian always reminded me of Spike and since Spike is the ultimate bad boy I had to vote for Sebastian.

The best thing about Eric…he’s that bad boy that your parents always warned you about…but he vindicates them in that he will do anything and everything for Sookie. He’s unbelievably loyal to her. I watched the first season of True Blood before I read the books, and I was Team Bill initially. Once I read the books and realized what a “”lying a-hole”” Bill was…I was definitely all for Eric. Alex’s gorgeous body in my mind while I was reading also helped…lol.

Vere. I copied Chery’s quote from her review, which absolutely cracks me up, “”We’re of one mind, Grenville and I, and the mind is hers, on account of my being a man and not having one.”” He put Grenville through a lot before he finally accepted the bit.

Why is Acheron from the Dark Hunter series not on this list. He just oozes sexiness…and the Harbringer of Death…can’t get much more “”bad boy”” than that. Do love Eric Northman too (drool), but Ash has it all.

Eric….hands down. I am just finishing the series, so I sort of have Eric on the brain. All the other bb’s pale :) in comparison.

Anne Stuart’s men are real bad boys. Sebastian (sp?) from BlacK Ice was a cold one. Loved the Ice series.

For me, must be Christian from Devil’s Waltz. This is fun though because it is exposing me to do “”bad boys.””

False advertising! I didn’t get to vote for Spike!
I went with Roarke, but now think I should’ve gone with Sebastian. Roarke is really a former bad boy.

My mouse hovered over so many of these bad boy heroes and amazingly enough I knew most of them. But in the end I had to go with Johnny Cain from The Outsider.

I had to pick Zsadist. And I’m an Anne Stuart junkie.

I voted for Sebastian St. Vincent because he was my first bad boy when I begin to read romances again after several years hiatus.

This poll was designed as a light Friday diversion in the midst of the August doldrums. Nothing more. To answer Claire’s question, you can vote only once on a browser. If someone has two browsers, then they would get two votes, but, as a rule, only one vote per person will register.
As for new readers, they are always welcome. Maybe some will stick around and join in the discussions.

I didn’t mean to sound snotty earlier, but there seems to be a pretty wide definition of “”bad”” here. I think of it as choosing to do something bad, not being stuck with it, or just carrying acceptable behavior a bit too far. The really bad boys I see here in my sense are Johnny Cain, a killer, and Sebastian Verlaine, who truly abuses his power.
Obviously, others see it differently

Sounds as though Northman’s selection is a bit weighted then (606 votes contrasted with the next highest one with only 58).

Yay for Eric! Book or show, book Eric’s sweet and devilishly romantic, but I love looking at Alexander Skarsgard ;) No complaints here.
