Hunks in History (209 books)

Ever read a historical novel and ended up falling in love with the hero? Someone who makes your heart go pitter patter and leave you swooning? Looking for some new hunk to fall in love with all over again? I'm putting my favorites here but everyone jump in and share your favorites, and we'll see who is the #1 Hunk in History.

Note: this is for HISTORICAL HUNKS. They can be fictional but the characters and stories have to be in a historical setting - contemporary settings and characters do not belong here.

Misfit,
Well, according to Paullina Simons' blog, she says that they are either "moving forward or going in a different direction". She is the one, though, that is writing the screenplay for the film. The movie might not be coming out next year, but it is in the works.

Check out her blog, http://paullinasimons.com/blog/ dated May 26,2011

OK, the list creator here. How the hell did Control Switch On: The Untold Story Of The Most Powerful Man In The World-Ryan Moran-Who Shaped The Planet For Peace get on this list? I see there's an unknown book might need removing.

As for the Sandra Hill votes, I'm not going there. Please tell me it wasn't Karla or Rachel who voted.

Amazon gives the ASIN for that Unknown book as:

A ESCOLA [Board Book]
MIGUEL M.ABRAHAO (Author)

But another book listed under that "unknown" author is

War, Imperialism & Dissent (Documents on US Foreign Policy) by Robert Buzzanco (2005)

So who knows. Looks like a dumping ground of unknowns. O__o
