Book Perfume

North Carolina may have won the March Madness NCAA Championship, but at Book Perfume, we’ve got one more winner to determine—the March Hunkness Champion of Hunks!

It’s been a competition with a lot of ups and downs. We had to say goodbye to some pretty perfect hunks along the way (I still love you, Bhaer!), and one of our earliest departures, Persuasion’s Captain Wentworth, made an exciting last-minute Wild Card comeback. All of our men battled hard and looked mighty fine doing it, but this is a competition, and there can only be two left standing in our final face-off.

Okay. Let’s not call it a face-off. Their faces are too perfect and we want them to stay put.

And who are the perfect-faced men going head-to-beautiful-head in our crowning matchup?

Pride and Prejudice’s Fitzwilliam Darcy and Outlander’s Jamie Fraser!

Let’s just take a minute to absorb the layers of dreaminess in that spoonful of hunky heaven.

Ahem. Okay. Back to the competition. Both men are iconic. Both men have masses and masses of hardcore fans. Both men are already masters at everything they do. But who will be the winner of the 2017 Book Perfume Champion of Men? Your guess is as good as mine. The only thing left for me to do is stop talking about it and open the poll!

Voting will close on Thursday, April 6, at noon ET. You can vote as many times as your JAMMF-  or Darcy-loving heart can handle. And if this is an impossibly tough choice for you? I get it. It’s like when you go to a bakery and you can’t decide if you want a raspberry turnover or a chocolate half moon because they’re both so different but delicious in every way.

So go with your gut. And go back for seconds and thirds and fourths if you so choose.

Thanks for playing along, friends! I can’t wait to see who the winner is!
