He has bit of ego.

“You're just worried they'll hire a male instructor and he'll be hotter than you." 

Jace's eyebrows went up. "Hotter than me?" 

"It could happen," Clary said, "You know, theoretically."

"Theoretically the planet could suddenly crack in half, leaving me on one side and you on the other, forever and tragically parted, but I'm not worried about that either. Some things," Jace said, with his customary crooked smile, "are just too unlikely to dwell upon.” 

City of Fallen Angels

“Take off your shirt."

Jace raised his eyebrows. 

"I'm not going to attack you," she said impatiently. "I can take the sight of your naked chest without swooning."

"Are you sure?" he asked, obediently sliding the shirt off his shoulders. "Because viewing my naked chest has caused many women to seriously injure themselves stampeding to get to me.” 

City of Lost Souls

“I don't want to be a man," said Jace. "I want to be an angst-ridden teenager who can't confront his own inner demons and takes it out verbally on other people instead."

"Well," said Luke, "you're doing a fantastic job.” 

City of Ashes

He cares about his friends.

“I just wanted to say that you don't always have to be all right. I asked you to be my parabatai because I needed you, but you're allowed to need me, too. This" - he indicated his own parabatai rune - "means you are the better, other half of me, and I care about you more than I care about myself. Remember that. I'm sorry I didn't realize how much you were hurting. I didn't see it then, but I see it now.” 

City of Heavenly Fire

He knows just what to say to make a gal swoon.

I belong to you. You could do anything you wanted with me and I would let you. You could ask anything of me and I'd break myself trying to make you happy. My heart tells me this is the best and greatest feeling I have ever had. But my mind knows the difference between wanting what you can't have and wanting what you shouldn't want. And I shouldn't want you.

City of Glass

Say what you want about Jace but the truth is- he is the ultimate book boyfriend. Even when he is bad, he is good.
