Most of you are well aware of my obsession with Jericho Barrons, the main hero in the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. He has been my ultimate book boyfriend for a long time and with good reason. However, I get teased a lot here at UTC by Suzanne because I am in love with “a douche.” While I’ll admit that Barrons isn’t the type to write poems or send a girl roses on Valentine’s Day, that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t make a great book boyfriend! And today, I’m going to prove it so keep on reading to find my reasons why Jericho Barrons isn’t so bad.

Here I give you the top five reasons why Jericho Barrons isn’t so bad.
Tell me in the comments what you love about Barrons so I know I’m not crazy for loving this psychopathic, brooding, sexy man!
When it comes to books I’m pretty adventurous. I read everything from Paranormal Romance to Urban Fantasy, New Adult, BDSM, LGBT fiction, Cozy Mysteries and even YA. If it’s got the littlest trace of romance in it, then I’ll probably read it. That being said, my all-time favorite authors are J.R. Ward and Karen Marie Moning.
When I’m not submerged in a good book, you can find me musing about makeup and planners or dreaming about Kpop boys and beaches. Until then, check out my reviews and let’s talk books!

Sorry hun, I’m a total Lor woman, through and through. I love that man.
Haha, Lor is great too! I wouldn’t kick him out of bed that’s for sure. 🙂
But then I love Ryo, too. Ah, who am I kidding? I’m a total slut when it comes to the nine.
Ryoden? Oh no. No. No. No.
He will do anything and everything to save someone he loves!
SO TRUE!!! *sigh*
I totally agree! I love JZB. I rethought #5 for a minute after reading a review on the series from another blogger a few months back. She called JZB a rapist because of the whole Pri-ya thing. But then thought PFFT it’s JZB so it’s all good. LOL
Can’t say I agree with that blogger ;/
I love JZB! Here’s the thing, he tells everyone, up front, who and what he is. If you don’t like it, walk away. His need to protect Mac is incredible. After finishing Burned it strikes me that even he doesn’t fully understand his need for her but he can’t stop himself from wanting her. As for the Pri-ya thing, I was so shook up by Mac’s rape that I was turned off at first by Barrons solution. Then I got to thinking, she would have likely killed herself or others in her effort to satisfy her needs so I think… Read more »
Yes, I totally agree and am glad you sound as passionate about him as I am! Mac doesn’t do anything she doesn’t want. And she’s a woman who will survive anything. Being Pri-ya wasn’t going to keep her down.
i agree…. he doesn’t give his love and loyalty easily but once he gives he’ll do anything for those who’ve earned it…
Hmmmm . . . I think I need to find this series. New to me, but sounds worth a look. Thank you for the suggestion.
Ooooh a new Fever fan possibly? I hope you do give it a shot and end up LOVING IT.
I was never put off by his personality. It seems to fit with old, powerful supernatural beings living in a human world. And as you pointed out, there is a good side and hey, he’s strong enough to be the right guy for Mac.
I LOVE JZB! There is just something about his “dark side” that is so undeniably hot! Also, the way he is willing to sacrifice to keep Mac safe is amazing. He’s certainly helped shape Mac into the strong woman she is today. Abd she’s changed him a little too, hehe. He is certainly one of my top book boyfriends! 🙂
I haven’t read this series but Barrons doesn’t sound bad.
There’s not one thing I DON’T love about JZB. LURVE him. <3
Another blogger gave us the perfect reasons why Barrons is the perfect bf.

Hahahaha. U R so right.
I think he has the capacity for having a huge conscience for the good of the world. He’s just bruised and battered
I totally agree!
Thanks for the post. I haven’t read this series.
