Though we are never really given much to draw up a proper description of him, I think Juan of the Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost is one helluva sexy vampire. Me want!

In This Side of the Grave, Cat quickly says this about Juan:

The elevator doors opened to reveal a darkly handsome vampire on the other side, black hair in a loose ponytail and normally playful expression subdued.

Juan fun facts:

  • speaks Spanish
  • penal code graduate who chose working for Don over twenty years behind bars
  • is a bit of a pervert
  • Turned vampire by Bones in chapter nineteen of At Grave’s End


“Denise hired me to be your gigolo for the night. You tell me how many orgasms you want, and I promise to deliver. I’ll give you a whole new definition of the term smooth criminal, querida. Mmm, your ass feels like a round piece of-ooof!” ~One Foot in the Grave

“Juan, how many different women have you slept with in the past four years?” I abruptly asked.
He scratched his chin. ” Yo no se, querida, perhaps…about one a week?” he answered before Don gave him a censuring glare. [...]
“One a week, give or take. That’s over two hundred different women in the past four years he’s worked here, and on a side note: Juan, you’re a slut. [...] ~One Foot in the Grave

“You eat vampires and absorb their powers?” Juan blurted. “Madre de Dios!” ~This Side of the Grave

My Juan is being played by super sexy Oliver Martinez. Aye Papi!

LOL at those quotes. I forgot how much of a pervert Juan was! Oliver Matinez makes a good Juan, very hot and looks like he loves the ladies :D

Juan seems completely hot, though I am not sure whether I like the fact he's a pervert lol. Oliver Martinez is dreamy….

Though I liked that character, I got really sick of those books really quickly! I think it was the first person. :)

Yay Juan! He always cracks me up, all of her side characters are just amazing. I'm hoping maybe we'll get a story featuring Juan or Tate and get their HEA. Though Juan probably has a few more women to go through before he settles. And your choice of men to play Juan is delicious:)

I LOVE Juan!!! I absolutely adore his talks with and admiration of Bones: “You talked her into going without panties all these years? Madre de Dios, now that’s impressive. I could learn a great deal from you, amigo.”

Oh man, you couldn't have made me laugh harder if you had tried. The bf and I have a running joke about our other “significant others” and mine is (almost) always named Juan. So my first thought was,

“She knows Juan too!!” and proceeded to tell the beau who promptly rolled his eyes.

He's not a morning person.

I'm still giggling… perfect!

Didn't get a chance to work on a Book Boyfriend this week :( But I like your guy! I think the smooth criminal quote is my fave. He is sexy! But he's a bit of a player. Always liked the bad boys!

Great choice! I don't know him… but now I want to!
