April's Hero of the Month: Edward Cullen.

This is a couple of days late but it's all good, better late then never, right? It's been quite a while since I've put up a new Hero of the Week and really its because I don't have as much time to blog as I did before and so because I so missed having our Hero of the Week posts, I have decided on not nixing the whole idea permanently, but making it easier on myself to do a Hero of the Month, instead of a Hero of the Week...that way, we all get what we want and I get more work done at work. LOL.



So with that said, this month we're kicking off our Hero of the Month with one of the heroes that became an instant hit in the Young Adult world. And an instant I WANT HIM IN MY BED EVEN THOUGH HE'S LIKE 17 FOR THE 200TH TIME for me.

Yeah, he's that good.

Edward Cullen of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight fame is definitely one of those heroes that you'd fight your best friend for.

I'm totally ready and willing to square up with both Izzy and Holly to lay claim to this hunk of juicy goodness.

Why do we all love him so? Let me count the ways....

When we first meet, Edward Cullen, he's got this intense disklike for the book's heroine, Bella Swan and we're all dying to find out why. You can feel just how intensely he feels and just how passionate a person he is by reading the first few scenes with him in it.

That scene where Bella walks into the cafeteria and her gaze drifts over to the mysterious bunch in the corner? The pale skinned group that keep to themselves and are just about the prettiest group of people she'd ever seen in her life...and then just Edward's reaction to her nearness sets off all kinds of warning bells in your head, wondering what's going through his mind to cause such intense feelings toward someone he doesn't even know.

And then trying to catch those glimpses of Edward throughout the rest of the book, loving when his presence is made known on the pages and has you just gobbling up the pages for more of...Edward's greatness. There are so many quotes and so many scenes that showcase all of Edward's swoonworthiness but you'll have to read the books in order to see for yourself, I will tease you guys with this little tid bit...

"You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever."

"You are my life now" he answered simply.

When he said that, my heart about melted right out of my insides and settled in a puddle right around my ankles. It was good...really good.

But that's only part of why we love him so much, we love how he was a constant champion to Bella. Bella was always finding herself in situations where she was either fainting, almost getting run over by another schoolmate and getting lost in a darkened neighborhood and it was just so sweet how Edward was always there, listening and waiting in the cut to be her Knight in Shining Armor.

He knew that it wasn't wise to develop any kind of lasting feelings for Bella and yet he couldn't help himself anymore than she could help herself when she fell like a rock for him. I couldn't help falling in love with him. There are plenty of scenes from both Twilight and New Moon (okay not so many scenes from New Moon since he wasn't really in this book a lot) that are totally Edward swoonworthy and instead of making this post longer than necessary, I'm just going to list those scenes and if you want to see for yourself why these scenes are so sweet, you've got to get out there and buy these books. They may not look like it by these short little sentences but trust me, they're GREAT scenes.

Be sure to check out:

-The scene where Bella almost gets runned over by a car but Edward saves her and doesn't even know why he does.

-The scene where Edward rescues Bella from the blood test thing and takes her home.

-The scene where Edward comes to Bella's rescue when she loses her way and is being followed by that group of men. How he shows up out of nowhere and takes her to dinner and doesn't notice that the waitress is already half way in love with him.

-The scene where Bella asks Edward to stay with her....and he does. He watches over her while she's asleep and it was just so friggin' cute.

And last but not least, here is Mr. Cullen in all of his young manly glory...=)

And this is what he would look like, older and sexier and HOTTER! haha.


Enjoy ladies...
