Jamie and Claire are one of my favorite couples! For all the reasons you mention, I can't get enough of them.jennylee wrote:You can't go wrong with the epic life-long love story of Claire Randell and Jamie Fraser in the Outlander series. This is so relevant due to the success of the Starz television series but the books by Diana Gabaldon are amazingly detailed and follow the time-traveling Claire from Post WWII to the 1700's where she is thrown into the primitive and dangerous world of the Scottish Highlanders. As she meets and is forced to marry Jamie Fraser, what starts as a marriage to save Claire's life, ends up as a love affair that spans several "lifetimes" and a merging of two souls. Fascinating characters in history from the Bonnie Price Charlie himself to important players in the American Revolution such as George Washington and Benedict Arnold show up as readers progress through the series. Gabaldon is renowned for her eye for detail and whether she is describing the dress, the customs, the practices of using herbal remedies that Claire utilizes as a healer, or battle sequences, the series is well written and engages the reader in a fascinating story of time-travel and love.

Ditto!!JaydaMax wrote:For me it's Mac and Barrons in Karen Marie Morning's Fever series. Barrons is a mystery in a riddle wrapped in sex on legs. Mac's evolution from spoiled woman-child to kick ass warrior is heart wrenching. The push/pull between them just leaves me wanting more. The series is one of my all time favorites, KMM created a truly amazing world.

I absolutely love Tijan! I try and read everything Tijan puts out. The men she writes about are just so easy to fall for.born2read82 wrote:I am a big fan of Jeanine Frost, especially the Night Huntress series with Cat and Bones. I also like Fallen Crest series by Tijan with Mason and Samantha. Logan is a great addition to these books, even though he isn't part of the "couple." I seem to fall for the protective hero in books, whether or not the heroine actually needs the protection!

I also love Barrons and Mac from Karen Moning's "Fever" series. It's a perfect example of 'opposites attract'. I couldn't stop reading, and was so depressed when I finished the series. I needed more!

I adored Barrons and Mac from the fever series and I cannot wait until Dani and Ryodan get together. Cannot wait until the next book releases I thin it will be released in Jan 2017
