Perfectly Paired!
This week I am talking about those book couples I love. Those couples, who were perfect for each other, and I couldn't help shipping. As always, I took a look at my more recent adult romance reads, and decided upon the list below.
- Griffen & Audrey from Bittersweet by Sarina Bowen
- Stella & Michael from The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
- Josh & Hazel from Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren
- Katie & Bowie from Wild on My Mind by Laurel Kerr
- Gia & Bennett from Three Little Words by Jenny Holiday
- Corey & Adam from The Year We Fell Down by Sarina Bowen
- Ledi & Thabsio from A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole
- Trix & Leo from Making Up by Lucy Parker
- Kelly & Mark from An Ex for Christmas by Lauren Layne
- Ivy & Gray from The Friend Zone by Kristen Callihan
Do you have a favorite fictional couple?
Let us know in the comments!
Josh and Hazel ♥️ They are the best!
ReplyDeleteI think they are the best couple so far, that CLo have written.
DeleteI had so many that I wanted to include (like every couple from the True North series LOL) and it was hard to narrow it down. I love seeing Griff and Audrey on your list. ♥ And Stella and Michael, of course. *sigh* I really need to read Josh & Hazel soon!!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to add ANOTHER Bowen couple (Lazarus and Callie from Falling from the Sky), but I wanted to spread the love around. Read Josh & Hazel!!! It was so fun!
DeleteI recently bought Bittersweet! I'm glad the couple made your list, makes me more excited to read it. :)
ReplyDeleteJosh and Hazel is another I really need to read... So many good things are said about it.
I love all Bowen's books, and Bittersweet really made me appreciate farmers.
DeleteI haven’t read any of these because I avoid romance-focused books, but The Kiss Quotient has been on pretty much every TTT I’ve looked at today. I guess they’re a popular couple!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I know there are non-romance readers out there, but I love the genre. You would think as a spinster I would be bitter, but I love reading about love and people finding their HEA with each other. Stella and Michael were an incredible pairing. Hoang really upped the game with The Kiss Quotient.
DeleteLove all these couples! Especially Audrey and Griffin, Stella & Michael, Gia & Bennet, Ledi & Thabiso, Trix & Leo and Kelly & Mark! Some of my favoritest OTPs!
ReplyDeleteI always start my TTT posts by going through my read shelf, newest to oldest. This was hard, because I really have "met" so many wonderful couples.
DeleteI'm embarrassed to say I've not read any of these. Yet! I've hear a lot of Josh & Hazel and Griffen & Audrey. Got to get reading some of these:)
ReplyDeleteDon't you lean more horror, mystery, SFF? These are all pure, unadulterated contemporary romance books, and that really is my favorite genre.
DeleteThanks for sharing some new to me books.

If you ever get the itch to read contemporary or contemporary romance, I have tons of recs.
DeleteI really need to pick up The Princess Theory. It sounds absolutely delightful.
ReplyDeleteThat series is excellent. I have read the first two books, and adored both couples, by Ledi was so fabulous, I had to have her on my list.
DeleteI've seen Josh & Hazel a few times today (they made my list as well), but I don't know these other couples... I'm getting ready to read The Kiss Quotient next week, but will have to check out some of the others.
ReplyDeleteYou are in a for a TREAT, because TKQ was so, so good.
DeleteThose are all totally new to me ones! I'll just say nice picks because I am pretty sure they are! ;)
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
If I had gone the YA route, I would have included some fantasy couples. I know you would have recognized a few of those (Kady and Ezra, Lilac and Tarver, Also & Riden, Kaz & Inej, Cas & Em, Hope & Bran).
DeleteOH MY GOSHHHH I read The Year We Fell Down so long ago and had totally forgotten about how good it was. I might have to do a re-read now!! Great list!
ReplyDeleteJust thinking about Corey gives me the feels. Loved her and loved that she got such an epic pairing. Bowen is always good for me.
DeleteI avoid romance books so I haven't heard of any of these books. I do like some couples in books but they have to be friends and the romance needs to take a back seat to other plots for it to work for me!
ReplyDeleteRomance is my thing. I love it!
DeleteI feel like I'm the only person who hasn't read a Christina Lauren book!
ReplyDeleteTheir older books are ok, but the ones they have been writing lately have been amazing.
DeleteThe Kiss Quotient looks like a fun read!
ReplyDeleteSo fun, but it also had some really meaningful things in there. I didn't quite expect the depth I encountered.
DeleteThese are all new to me, but Bittersweet is actually one I've looked up before! Maybe I'll have to read it.
ReplyDeleteIt's still free at Amazon if you want to download it as a maybe. Bowen made me fall in love with a farmer-hero
DeleteI haven't read any of these yet! I adore Megan (Meghan?) and Prince Ash from The Iron Fey series, though, along with Katniss and Peeta.
ReplyDeleteI focused on my adult couples this time, but if I did a YA version, Meghan and Ash would have made that list. I mean, he literally went to the end of the world for her. I never read THG, but Katniss and Peeta seem to be getting a lot of love today.
DeleteThe only one of these books I've read so far is The Kiss Quotient, and I really do like that couple. I'll have to read that book again someday. It was pretty hot.
ReplyDeleteMichael and Stella were perfection and there was a lot more depth to that story than I had anticipated. Definitely a fave of mine.
DeleteThis reminds me that I still need to read Josh and Hazel. Michael and Stella made my list this week too. Love them so much!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get a chance to read Josh & Hazel. I suggest it for a time, when you need something really fun and zany to read.
DeleteI have read only The Kiss Quotient from this lost and I can’t agree more about Stella and Michael. They are one of my fav couples too. They romance was so good 😊
ReplyDeleteThey were such an A+ couple. Hoang really showed up big with this debut.
DeleteStella and Michael are one of my utmost favorite OTP Sam! Sophie @bewareofthereader
ReplyDeleteThat is one ship I will go down with.
DeleteJOSH & HAZEL!!! That book still makes me happy thinking about it months later.
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
Me too!!! Totally smiling right now.
DeleteSo much <3 goodness! Wonderful list Sam!
ReplyDeleteIt was hard to choose, but I feel like I included a bunch of great couples.
DeleteI haven't read any of these books but most are on my TBR. I can't wait to compare notes with you. Great list <3
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to some of them, because they were all hits for me.
DeleteAll these couples that I don't know at all DD: But I completely trust your opinions when it comes to romance because you are the queen of romance books so that all of these are trustworthy couples ^.^
ReplyDeleteI did adult romances for this one, but I will do a YA focused one at some point, because those authors are creating perfect pairs too.
DeleteI want to read a bunch of these. I have The Kiss Quotient on audio and have been meaning to get to it but haven't yet. Bittersweet I want all of these really.
ReplyDeleteMary
I actually listened to TKQ, and I thought it was done well. The story is amazing. I have noting but love for TKQ. Bittersweet was free on Amazon. Maybe it still is?
