• Candy & Guy (Steele) [from "Baby Twins to Bind Them" by Carol Marinelli]: They livened each other up while broadening their own views about what they wanted out of life. Yet what really made me fall for their romance was how everything played out within the last few chapters, it's just so charming!!
• Orwenna (Wen) & Huroth [from "Dragon Wife" [Dragon Clan Series, Book 1] by Diana Green]: I really liked how Orwenna (Wen) & Huroth fell in love. Especially I liked that Wen was able to hold onto her new scene of self and purpose throughout the time she was falling for Huroth and how he liked her even more for it.

• Phoenix & Riley [from "This Heart of Mine" [Whiskey Creek Series, Book 8] by Brenda Novak]: I couldn't get enough of Phoenix & Riley, didn't want their novel to end, as it was all I could've hoped for and more!

• Emma & Jay [from "A Wedding at the Orange Blossom Inn" [Amish Brides of Pinecraft Series, Book 3] by Shelley Shepard Gray]: Their relationship grows quickly in this novel but I love how it was all handled and the calming effect they have for one another.

• Grace & Oliver (Earl of Carlisle) [from "The Earl’s Defiant Wallflower" [Dukes of War Series, Book 1] by Erica Ridley]: They make quite a pair as they fumble through Society hoping to help one another out while hoping for the best.

Best Book Couples -- Happy Valentine's Day 2015

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!!
Time to spread the love!! In honor of it being Valentine's Day ... here is a list (in no particular order) of book couples that I thoroughly enjoyed reading about this past year (from February 2014 - January 2015):

♥ means that I gave the couple's novel a 5 star rating
-- Read more about the novel (and a teaser or two) each couple is in by clicking their title links --

• Olivia & Berkeley [from "In Bloom" [Brightside Series, Book 1] by Katie Delahanty]: I LOVED reading about their relationship, as their story was the kind that every girl dreams about happening to them at one point or another. Plus, it helps that the antics of Olivia's mother and friends will make you laugh along the way.
• Maddie & Sebastian (Bastian) [from "Once Upon a SEAL" [Love Is... Anthology, Novella 2] & [Sugar Falls Series, Book 0.5] by S. M. Butler]: Reading about their relationship and how Maddie kept trying to bring Bastian's personality and himself out from his exile got me liking this story more and more. They are great together! ♥
• Ruthy & Levi [from "A Mother for His Children" by Jan Drexler]: I found myself intrigued by these two very stubborn characters, how their lives come together, and how they find that love can come in all shapes and sizes. They make a wonderful-gut couple.
• Izzy & Torin [from "School Spirits" [School Spirits Series, Book 1] by Rachel Hawkins]: Even though nothing happens between these two in the novel, I really liked Torin and his chemistry with Izzy enough that it makes me hopeful for the future novels in this series.
• Kimcasha (Kim) & Onca [from "Rebel" [The Cat Star Chronicles, Book 10] by Cheryl Brooks]: Onca's story is one that makes you fall in love with this softhearted man just as quickly as Kim does. Their fast-paced romance was enticing to read about while they battle to save Kim's friends and bring down a corrupt system.
• Megan (Meg) & Tyler (Ty) [from "Mistletoe Wedding" [Bar V5 Dude Ranch Series, Copper Mountain Series, A Marietta Christmas Novel, & Montana Born Christmas Series, Book 2] by Melissa McClone]: I really liked the endearing they officially came together as a couple!
• Emma & Ben [from "Huckleberry Spring" [The Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill Series, Book 4] by Jennifer Beckstrand]: Anna's quirky ways were all fun to read about but I also liked how sweet Ben was and how determined Emma is to see everything through. All of it put my emotions through the ringer by laughing one moment to getting mopey the next. ♥
• Eva & Kevin [from "When Eva Gets Even" [Love Is... Anthology, Novella 4] by Cass Curtis]: Their story was one that keeps you on your toes while hoping for the best for these two. They are so cute together!
• Regina (Reggie) & Tanner [from "Princess Ever After" [The Royal Wedding Series, Book 2] by Rachel Hauck]: They make a great team! Tanner deals with Reggie's hesitation about her "new life" very calmly and helps guide her through all the new rough patches with ease.
• Iria & Dezso [from "Lady's Destiny" [Destiny Series, Book 1] by A. R. Von]: Dezso is a magical human who fights on the light side yet has been dealing with his own personal struggle and darkness for as long as he can remember. When he meets Iria he knows he wants to become a better man then he already is, for her he'll try anything. Together they make a great pair and their love is very sweet.
• Priscilla & Jake [from "The Amish Blacksmith" [The Men of Lancaster County Series, Book 2] by Mindy Starns Clark & Susan Meissner]: They are a great pair. Together they are able to challenge each other into becoming who they are meant to be without fear of being mocked for being different then the norm.
• Zara (Jiiwi) & Ethan (Ethancaine) [from "Winter Fire" by Kathy Fischer-Brown]: I liked how they came into their romance and fell in love with each other. Also, while over the course of the novel they both make many compromises, neither compromise their beliefs and I liked how they respected each other for their beliefs too. ♥
• Ellen & Derrick [from "Once Upon a Christmas Scandal" [Christmas Brides Anthology, Novella 2] & [Lords of Vice Series, Book 7.5] by Alexandra Hawkins]: They are a perfect matchup, I'm so glad they ended up together! Their romance was one I would read again!
• Samantha (Sam) & Gray [from "Unraveled" [The Woodlands Series, Book 3] by Jen Frederick]: When Gray falls into Sam's life it's suppose to be temporary. She's planning on using Gray as her "rebound guy" and while he has no problem with that, as he hasn't had a serious relationship ever since his ex hurt him badly, because he doesn't plan on doing more then relax, have fun, and decide on what his future involves. However, neither ever imagined finding in each other the one person who would understand them and make them feel complete.
• Brynn & Acksel [from "The Alpha’s Heart" [Wilde Creek Series, Book 2] by R. E. Butler]: They even each other out. She brings out his sweetness, where he brings out her fierceness. In the end, they turn into better people because of everything they go through. As well as, prove to themselves (along with Acksel's pack) that they're worth all of the trouble that comes along with being together.
• Zoey & Rafe [from "Embracing Darkness" [Love Is... Anthology, Novella 34] & [Key Series, Book 1.5] by Yelena Casale & Tina Moss]: I really liked their "easy" relationship; I am interested to see in how their relationship will grow from here. ♥
• Bryn & Valmont [from "Going Down In Flames" [Going Down In Flames/Shape-Shifting Dragon Series, Book 1] by Chris Cannon]: Valmont comes to Bryn’s defense during a time when she was arguing with Zavien and in turn becomes her personal knight. With the different secondary stories being told of legends where knight’s and their dragons fell in love, I can definitely see something happening between Bryn and him. I’d really like to learn more about him, as he seems nice and hot!
• Mac & Finn [from "A Capella" [Love Is... Anthology, Novella 6] & [Dominant Cord Series, Book 1.5] by Sadie Haller]: I really liked Finn's playful side and how well he cared for Mac. They make a really sweet pair.
• Monroe & Koenraad [from "Touching Paradise" [Shark Shifter Series, Book 1] by Cleo Peitsche]: They are an unusual pair that will be interesting to see where their relationship will take them. ♥
• Christa & Jordan [from "This Weakness for You" [Taming the Pack Series, Book 2] by Wendy Sparrow]: I really liked this unique pair, Jordan & Christa, as they prove that appearances aren't everything.
• Katrina & Julian [from "Stolen Kiss From a Prince" by Teresa Carpenter]: Together these two are a intriguing pair that you can't help but root for .... even through Julian's blunders.
• Lina (Lady Radbourne) & Winstead (Win) [from "An Heir of Uncertainty" by Alyssa Everett]: Their romance was one that grows slowly but once they finally trust each other (and get over their pride) everything seems to work out for them. I enjoyed how these two work together to get through the allegations about them and to find who is out to kill them.
• Celia & Her Secret Admirer [from "Hello Treasure" [Love Is... Anthology, Novella 7] by Faye Hunter]: I wasn't sure where this story would go from the start but I thoroughly enjoyed its ending!!
• Edwina (Teddy) & Noah [from "Payoff Pitch" [Philadelphia Patriots Series, Book 5] by V. K. Sykes]: They are opposites in terms of lifestyles but their personalities and spicy attraction are very similar, which makes them really think about each others concerns when something big happens to them throughout this novel.
• Elena (E) & Nikolai (Nik) [from "Love Me To Death" [The Underveil Series, Book 1] by Marissa Clarke]: With Nik's abrasive/protective manner and Elena's caring ways it was exciting to watch their relationship grow, especially since with their dispositions they had to work out how to understand each other while not being offended which was kind of sweet! ♥
• Heather & Zac [from "Flirting on Ice" [Atlantic City Hustlers Series, Novella 1] by Veronica Forand & Susan Scott Shelley]: I liked how charismatic Zac is. Also, I enjoyed how he goes about winning over Heather and proving to everyone that their relationship is more than a one-time thing. It was steamy, sweet, & charming!
• Elyse & Arcadius [from "The Guardian" [TALES OF THE DJINN Series, Book 1] by Emma Holly]: Their novel was inventive, exciting, and fun. While their romance is slow and sweet.
• Clarissa (Ris) & Gabe [from "Thunder and Loving" [Love Is... Anthology, Novella 13] by A. Catherine Noon & Rachel Wilder]: With Clarissa's feisty attitude and Gabe's intense ways, you cannot help but enjoy this story! Together they are just something else! ♥
• Niki & Dean [from "Be Were" [Southern Shifter Series & The Black Cougar Trilogy, Book 5] by Eliza Gayle]: They believe that they are complete opposites, which is why Niki runs away from him in the first place, yet they are more alike, then they know. Hot tempered. Feisty. And once they open their hearts and lives to each other, nothing can tear them apart not even Niki.
• Aliyah & Gibran [from "Gibran: Return of the Rebel Sheikh" [Love Is... Anthology, Novella 9] & [The Desert Kings Series, Book 2.5] by Jennifer Lewis]: Even though their romance is a bit rushed, I liked seeing these two come together as they look like they could really be the "belonging" that each of them seem to crave.
• Mairi & Phin [from "Pleasing the Pirate" by Sharon Cullen]: Together these two will be able to accomplish anything. If only they'll be able to keep trusting each other.
• Serena & Austen [from "Nobody's Cowboy" [Big Sky Mavericks Series, Book 1] by Debra Salonen]: They seem like opposites but after Austen gets into the swing of "cowboy life," you could tell they were the perfect fit for each other. I enjoyed how they met and became friends-with-benefits; it was quite funny and sweet. ♥
• Christine & Theodore (Teddy) [from "Tempting the Governess" by Vivienne Westlake]: I really enjoyed how these two come together and prove they have more feelings for one another than just lust. It was all very erotically sweet!
• Stella Jo & Van [from "Last Second Chance" [Second Chance Series, Book 1] by Caisey Quinn]: Profound, thought provoking, extremely intense, and one whorl wind romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. Stella Jo and Van are opposites in more ways then one, yet they are able to fight each others demons and open up to each other in ways they've never been able to before. Their romance might have started out as very reckless but as their time together increases emotions get involved and it's not a chance of if they'll be caught but when.
• Mia & Cord [from "First Date" [Love Is... Anthology, Novella 11] by Mima]: It seemed to me that they could have found something special.
• Acasia & Bastian [from "Dragons Don't Cry" [Fire Chronicles, Book 1] by D'Elen McClain]: They are a combustible duo! With Acasia's feistiness and Bastian's stubbornness you can never be sure as to what these two will end up doing next!
• Sherry & Tyler [from "Accidentally Married on Purpose" [Love & Games Series, Book 3] by Rachel Harris]: They make a fun sweet pairing that I was happy to read about. I appreciated that Sherry yearns for her own HEA. So much so, in fact, that she asks and is willing to have Tyler play it up for her during their month together so she'll get to enjoy at least one HEA in her lifetime even if it's fake. It was sweet, especially because Tyler isn't the romantic type, yet was still willing to do it for her.
• Holly & Ciaran [from "Since You've Been Gone" by Anouska Knight]: I swooned at how Ciaran got to know Holly while proving to her that her love for her husband may not be the only love she has to give. ♥
• Cassie & Haldor (Hal) [from "Dark Craving" [Dark Heat Anthology, Novella 1] & [Dark Kings Series, Book 0.1] by Donna Grant]: They are a very sweet couple, who’s story I enjoyed in its simplicity.
• Andelynn (Andee), Malcolm & Degalen (Galen) [from "Sunsinger" [Cy’ren Rising Series, Book 3] by Robyn Bachar]: I loved how it was Malcolm that really brought the three of them together in many ways; he is such an absentmindedly sweet character. I like how well they all suited each other.
• Maddie & Jared [from "More Than Music" [Chasing the Dream Series, Book 1] by Elizabeth Briggs]: They are like a kindred musical couple that acted like they knew what each other was thinking (music that was playing in their heads) just by their moods. I liked them and I enjoyed how the novel all wrapped up in the end.
• Sylvia (Sif), Magnus (Magni) & Slade (Sleipnir) [from "Not Broken" [True Destiny Series, Book 5] by Dana Marie Bell]: I liked how their relationship grew throughout this novel, as it was sweetly written, yet highlighted with enough spicy scenes to keep you on your toes wanting more.
• Lirael & Jeck [from "Lirael’s Candle" [Love Is... Anthology, Novella 35] by Cate Rowan]: It was easy to tell how much they loved each other. ♥
• Nadie, Dante & Jace [from "Tangled Innocence" [Dante’s Circle Series, Book 4] by Carrie Ann Ryan]: This trio is a great match up from the very beginning. I especially liked how each of them handled each new "twist" that was thrown their way, as it seemed that even when one started to freak out the others were able to set them straight quickly, usually romantically, and move on to the next thing that came at them.
• Grace & Rafael [from "Love on Delivery" [Love Is... Anthology, Novella 16] & [Storafalt, Wyoming Series, Book 4] by Holley Trent]: They make a great pair; so much so that I got a little addicted to the plotline and didn't want it to end.
• Indigo & Lorenzo [from "Crown Prince, Pregnant Bride" by Kate Hardy]: I just couldn't get enough of them together. Their easy banter and common backgrounds were just the icing of why I liked them as a couple. Plus, I feel for Lorenzo too. Who wouldn't wish to have a man fight so hard to prove that you’re thinking wrong, so he would be able to keep you in his life? I definitely would want a man like Lorenzo!
• Natalie & Jacob [from "A Season of Change" [Seasons of Pinecraft Series, Book 1] by Lynette Sowell]: They are a perfect pair, if they can over come the judgments that surround them by living in "different worlds." ♥
• Ashley & Chase [from "Say Yes" [New Year's Resolution: Romance! Anthology, Novella 1] by Christie Ridgway]: They are an entertaining duo! I enjoyed how they fell into a relationship while assisting Chase’s guests. Yet, I mostly liked how their feelings for one another was slow building and thrust on them.
• Talya & Ivan [from "Ivan" [Fang Chronicles Series, Book 6] by D’Elen McClain]: I enjoyed reading about their pairing mostly because even though they originally have issues with one another they force themselves to make it work out---better for them and their pack. It was hard to deny that they were perfect for each other but it was fun watching them try!
• Natalie & Jack [from "The Mean Girl Apologies" by Stephanie Monahan]: It was hard for me not to root for Natalie to create a new life for herself and have her win Jack back.
• Jemima (Jem) & Samson [from "Tweethearts" by Nicole Haddow]: At first glance, it seems that they are opposites. Yet as the novel progresses, you can tell that they even each other out in ways neither would have thought until they are forced to stay apart.
• Serenity & Trace [from "Loving Serenity" [Love Is... Anthology, Novella 18] & [Bad Boys of River City Series, Book 3.5] by Elle Wylder]: Even though I never read their novel, this novella of them together made me a bit jealous because of how sweetly possessive Trace is to Serenity. ♥
• Kayleigh & Derek [from "The Baby Arrangement" [Life, Love & Babies Series, Book 1] by Samantha Chase]: I thought that they were an intriguing couple who complemented each other really well. Reading about them together it wasn't hard to understand why they fell into their relationship so quickly.
• Pia & Zur-Sin (Sin) [from "Ravenous" [Lake City Stories Series, Prequel] by Annie Nicholas]: I really like these two together and hope that even though they are different types of paranormal creatures that their relationship will grow.
• Jessica (Jessie) & Blake [from "The Movie Star's Red Hot Holiday Fling" [Sweetbriar Springs Series, Book 2] by Christine Glover]: I couldn’t help but root for them throughout their novel!
• Romy, Lucien & Sol [from "Kiss My Ash" by Reneé George]: What these three have is an instant connection that ties them together even when they doubt themselves. I enjoyed reading about how they come into their relationship and the funny little pixies who “help” them.
• Juliet & Leo [from "Unmasking Juliet" by Teri Wilson]: Together they overcome their own fears along with the rulings of their families to embrace the future they are yearning for. ♥
• Theresa & Zach [from "The Mating Game" by Melissa Snark]: I really enjoyed reading about Theresa & Zach’s friendship turned romance, it was rushed, but sweet at the same time once you learn about their back-story. I now just hope that their triad mating with Robert will turn out better as the series progresses.
• Becca & Nikolai [from "Royally Lost" by Angie Stanton]: Together they are able to bring out who they both would rather become instead of who they were turning into before they met. They have a very sweet romance!
• Elise & Chad [from "A Taste of Love" [Love Is... Anthology, Novella 19] & [Spring River Valley Series, Book 12.5] by Clarice Wynter]: I liked how respectful Chad was with Elise instead of using her words against her for his story, very smart. They have a sweet story.
• Veronica & Dexter [from "It Girl" by Nic Tatano]: Dexter is so romantic to Veronica; it was just a nice twist in itself to see since she really needed that type of person in her life.
• Kate & Aiden [from "The Summer I Found You" by Jolene Perry]: Together I could not get enough of them, from their rapid attraction to Kate's random cute statements to Aiden's military ways I was drawn in to them as a couple from the beginning. ♥
• Naomi, Javier & Ethan [from "Delicate Freakn’ Flower" [Freakn’ Shifters Series, Book 1] by Eve Langlais]: Together Javier & Ethan are Naomi's perfect counterparts, especially with how quickly they could settle her "ruffled feathers."
• Janet & Xander [from "The Fae Ring" [Highland Secrets Trilogy, Book 2] by C. A. Szarek]: They are an intriguing pair, the more you learn about them the more you root for their relationship.
• Katrina (Kat) & Ahnvil [from "Forged" [The World of Nightwalkers Series, Book 4] by Jacquelyn Frank]: Together they are unstoppable, even when their differences seem to try keeping them apart. I enjoyed their romance and how they protected each other through everything that was thrown at them. They are a magnetic pair!
• Laney & Kyle [from "Perfect No Matter What" [Love Is... Anthology, Novella 20] & [The Wardham Series] by Zoe York]: I instantly liked the sweet romance these two share. Seeing them decide to choose their relationship over everything and everyone else’s wants and needs was a nice ending.
• Ariane & Liam [from "Homecoming" [Love Michaelson Series, Book 1] by Jackie Sexton]: Even though it seems more fantastical then anything with there being a family curse and someone falling in love while not ever meeting the other person, but it was also because of that "imaginary stuff" that made me fall into these two's worlds and like them as a couple.
• Anne & Malcolm (Mal) [from "Play" [Stage Dive Series, Book 2] by Kylie Scott]: I LOVE Malcolm! But together ... Mal & Anne are a unique couple that seems to roll with the punches that are thrown their way while sticking together through thick and thin. They are quite the pair! ♥
• Emily & Clay [from "Finding Hope" [Nugget Series, Book 2] by Stacy Finz]: I really liked their sweet friendship turning into a spicy romantic relationship.
• Annie Rose & Mason [from "How to Marry a Cowboy" [Cowboys & Bride's Series, Book 4] by Carolyn Brown]: They make a good team and couple. They seem so connected and like the same things.
• Merlot (Meri) & Mark [from "A Taste of Merlot" [The Napa Wine Heiresses Series, Book 2] by Heather Heyford]: I enjoyed with how Meri and Mark meet, interact, and come into their relationship. I especially enjoyed how Meri dealt with her jealousy issues when it came to Mark working with her archenemy.
• Annie & Jake [from "Baby, Oh Baby!" by Robin Wells]: Together they balance each other out. While Jake proves to Annie he's the big-hearted man she's been hoping for, Annie shows Jake what it's like to be your true self and that love isn't black and white. I really think they made a great pair!

• Trudy & Kristof [from "Dark Wolf Enterprises" [Dark Wolf Enterprises Series, Book 1] by A. M. Griffin]: Their novel keeps you on your toes as you follow their growing relationship through an extreme bout of “getting to know one-another.” It was fun reading about Trudy finding other ways of besting Kristof even though she’s portrayed as being weak because she’s a human. They are definitely a matched set.
• Morgan & Greyson (Grey) [from "Silver Wolf Clan" [Silver Wolf Clan Series, Book 1] by Tera Shanley]: They are like a matched set, even before he Changed. In addition, I really liked their easy banter and how they created their relationship together in the midst of their lives irrevocably changing. ♥

I liked how Levi held his previous love in such high regard that it took him a while to come to terms with his own feelings for Callie. Together they found a way to lighten each other’s burdens and create prospective futures for themselves, if they are willing to get over their pasts and fight for what they want.

• Edwina (Dina) & Francis [from "The Lady’s Wicked Proposition" [Love Is... Anthology, Novella 40] & [Wicked Liaisons Series, Book 1.5] by Vivienne Westlake]: They sound like a great couple because about how they have a sweet friendship that turns into something more after Dina proposes to Frances her plan.

At the beginning, I felt bad for Aubrey because to her it felt like she was loosing her family.

• Juliette (Jules) & Hugh [from "The Parchment Scroll" [Highland Secrets Trilogy, Book 3] by C. A. Szarek]: What pulled me into their novel was the constant banter that these two share, as it's hilarious at times and sweet while you get to see how their feelings grow for one another.
