He is ubber cute.

Tall and with a face so handsome even old ladies swooned at the sight of it, he was the guy every girl crushed on.  Didn't hurt that he had a bit of a bad-boy, daredevil reputation, either.

He defends people who can not defend themselves.

More than once I had watched him stand up for the little guy, like that time he told off a senior during a pep rally our freshman year when the guy started making fun of one of the freshman cheerleaders for being bigger than the other girls on the squad.

He is not afraid to admit he is wrong.

"I'm sorry," Eli said, his voice throaty with emotion.

He is a take charge kinda guy.

His focus on this whole investigation thing was a bit scary, but also encouraging in the way it built my confidence about our chances of success.

I think the best thing about Eli is that he really is just an ordinary nice guy.  Often times in books the nice guy does not have a good time of it.  Eli is different.
