This is a new weekly post hosted by me and Incident over at Sordid Fantasy. We will list some of our favorite fictional men along with why we love/lust them. Pictures will also be included.
This week's pick is Tybalt from the October Daye Series by Seanan McGuire. Tybalt is the local King of the Court of Cats of the Cait Sidhe. Toby describes him as having the "sort of sleek, muscled build that only comes from a few specific types of exercise programs." Though Toby was referring to the exercise to keep Tybalt's throne, I definitely came up with a few others. To learn more about this great series, you can see my reviews of Rosemary and Rue and A Local Habitation. So far the only interactions of our heroine, Toby, with Tybalt have been mostly antagonistic and snarky, but who doesn't love a man who is able to dole out the sarcasm.
Some favorite Tybalt quotes:
“I’m a cat. We aren’t required to make sense.” - from ALH
"You were sleeping so peacefully that I was loath to wake you. Duke Torquill, after demanding to know what I was doing in your apartment, has requested that I inform you of his intent to visit after ‘tending to some business at the Queen’s Court.’ I recommend wearing something clinging, as that may distract him from whatever he wishes to lecture you about this time. Hopefully, it’s your manners. You are truly endearing when you sleep. I attribute this to the exotic nature of seeing you in a state of silence."- A note from Tybalt to Toby from ALH
For how I see Tybalt, James McAvoy comes to mind so I included some pics.
So have you read the October Daye Series? What do you think of my pick for Tybalt?

I haven't read this series yet, but now I want to more! :) Great post.
@Melissa - I love this series! It's more Urban Fantasy with little romance but Tybalt is so good.. in so many ways ;)
Oh my you are really driving me to buy this one, huh? Great idea for the post.
@Susi - What me..I'm not a book pusher *innocent grin*
*heart palpitations*
James!
*melts*
I haven't read, but if this is how you picture him, then I have to read now!
I've been stuck on Sean Maher from Firefly as Tybalt since someone mentioned it at one point. Your pick is better.
*swoon* I heart James McAvoy! Damn it, must read this series :)
James Mc...hmmm, now I really want to pick these up. Especially since they talk to me everytime I pass them at the bookstore...

Ooh...He IS Tybalt! I loved Rosemary and Rue, have A Local Habitation on my shelf waiting. Love your digs, btw :)
@Missie - hehe..I'm glad you like the man choice ;) It was difficult just picking a couple of pics ;)
@Catnip - oh Sean Maher is a good pick too..I'll have to keep him in mind for another Sinful Saturday ;)
@Mandi..yeah I'm kinda a fan-He was so good and shirtless in Wanted :)
@Aria Thanks for the award!
@Vixen - I'm glad you like the pick for Tybalt! He is one hot King of Cats.
@Jen - You'll love ALH - so good and there is a teaser for the next book at the end too, I can't wait!
I think you're got something with your comparison of Tybalt to James McAvoy. That's a good mental picture and it matches mine pretty darn closely. What a fun idea - I love this post.
@Rebecca - thanks..sometimes when I see a pic of actor/model I just think that he's perfect for one of my fav characters..and it's fun to do this post too :)
Quick update: the newly released "An Artificial Night" mentions Tybalt in red leather pants.
oooh! He's absolutely perfect for Tybalt!! I hadnt really thought about him as Tybalt before, but he would be perfect in the looks department.
