I’m here to present a list that has become one of my blog traditions. Every year on Valentine’s Day, I post a list of fictional couples I’ve loved from books that I’ve read in the previous year. You can check out posts from years past through these links: 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017. This is the NINTH edition of this post and I can’t believe I’ve been able to keep it up over the years. I feel like one of the oldies in the blogging community. LOL. 😀
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you can probably tell that I’ve found it easier to post bookstagrams and cross-post them here, instead of writing a WordPress blog post from scratch. I have bookstagrams for all five of the couples in my list this year, so I’m sharing them below and you can read the captions on why I had so much fun reading about these characters. Look at me not wasting previously created content! Also no need to repeat myself. Yasss to making life easier, am I right? 😛

Nevada and Rogan from White Hot and Wildfire by Ilona Andrews – I had already featured this couple in my 2015 list but I want to mention them again because they were awesome in the two sequels that came out last year. Can’t wait to hear more news about what direction this series will take!

Runners-up for the past year are:
Cris and Nathan from Ghost of a Feeling by Celestine Trinidad

Feyre and Rhys from A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
Yeva (as Beauty) and the Beast from Hunted by Meagan Spooner
What about you, who are your favorite fictional couples from books that you’ve read within the previous year? Are you planning to do anything special for Valentine’s Day? I’m mostly reading romance this February, and trying to alternative between books by foreign authors and romanceclass books (Filipino romance in English). Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! ❤
Hi Chachic…I’m Lili from Cavite.. Nice meeting you.. hehe… And great list by the way. 🙂
Hi Lili, thanks for dropping by my blog! Glad you liked this list, hope it encourages you to read the books mentioned.😊
It does… I’m currently checking them on Goodreads. 🙂
Happy browswing and future reading! Let me know what you think when you get to read any of these.
I sure will. 🙂 🙂
I also like Christine and Wulfric from Slightly Dangerous by Mary Balogh; I first read the book years ago, but re-read it every so often.
A favorite couple from this year are Liam and Ondry (one is a human man, one is an alien male) from Lyn Gala’s alien romance series. I also like Meg and Simon from Anne Bishop’s The Others series.
I need to look up that Lyn Gala series if you have a fave couple from it. And I haven’t forgotten that you recommended Anne Bishop’s The Others series! I have a few more fantasy titles that I already own but will keep that in mind when the mood strikes to start a new series.
If you’d like to sample Lyn Gala’s world, there is a free prelude to the series. Prelude to Claimings, Tails, and Other Alien Artifacts: http://www.loose-id.com/prelude-to-claimings-tails-and-other-alien-artifacts.html The prelude is rather G rated compared to the series. Liam and Ondry feature in all the books, so you’d definitely want to read the series in order.
