Last night, I watch Jurassic World for the umpteenth time and thought about the memorable scene to make me ponder: What makes a book boyfriend a bad ass?

As young Zach stared in awe at Chris Pratt’s character riding a motorcycle with his raptor posse, he declared, “Your boyfriend’s a bad ass.” And it got me thinking about the qualities that make a BBF a true bad ass.

First and foremost, a bad-ass book boyfriend exudes confidence. He knows who he is and doesn’t care what others think of him. He’s the king of his world, and everyone else is just living in it. He’s unapologetically himself and owns it, which is a quality that many women find irresistibly attractive.

Another trait that sets a bad-ass BBF apart is his passion. He’s not afraid to go after what he wants, both in and out of the bedroom. Whether it’s pursuing his dream career or seducing the object of his affection, he does it with gusto and isn’t deterred by setbacks. Failure is not an option for him, and he always puts in the work necessary to achieve his goals.

A bad-ass book boyfriend is also driven. He sets his sights on a target and will do whatever it takes to reach it. He’s strategic and focused, always plotting his next move to get what he wants. He’s not content to sit back and let things happen; he’s a go-getter who takes charge of his life.

In addition to his goal-oriented nature, a bad-ass BBF is a natural leader. People look to him for direction and guidance, and he’s always willing to step up and take charge. He’s confident in his abilities and inspires those around him to be their best selves.

Last but not least, a bad-ass BBF is impeccably dressed. He pays attention to the details and always looks put-together. Whether he’s wearing a tailored suit or a casual t-shirt and jeans, he exudes style and sophistication. His attention to his appearance shows that he takes pride in himself and is always striving to be the best version of himself.

In conclusion, a bad-ass book boyfriend is confident, passionate, successful, driven, a natural leader, and well-dressed. These qualities make him irresistible to readers and keep us coming back for more. So the next time you’re reading a steamy romance novel, take note of the bad-ass qualities that make your book boyfriend swoon-worthy. Who knows, maybe you’ll find yourself falling for a real-life bad ass too.
