OTPs - FAVORITE COUPLES
I read a ton of romance books, and because of that, I was shipping a LOT of couples. Again, like every day this week, there were so many to choose from, but there was something special about these ten, that made me want to include them on this list.
- Zorie & Lennon - Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett
- Molly & Gabe - 9 Days & 9 Nights by Katie Cotungo
- Steffi & Rhys - A Quiet Kind of Thunder by Sara Barnard
- Alosa & Riden - The Daughter of the Siren Queen by Tricia Levenseller
- Marilyn & James - In Search of Us by Ava Dellaira
- Stella & Michael - The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
- Hazel & Josh - Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren
- Macy & Elliot - Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren
- Laurie & Jack - One Day in December by Josie Silver
- Greer & Alex - Best of Luck by Kate Clayborn
Did you have any favorite OTPs this year?
Let us know in the comments!
I didn't do a list, but if I had Stella & Michaael, Zorie and Lennon, and Steffi and Rhys all would have made mine. Loved everything about those couples.
ReplyDeleteSo many good pairings in the books I read, since I read a ton of romance, but those three won my heart.
DeleteOh we share a bunch!!! I can't believe I forgot Macy and Elliot though. I am excited to see In Search of Us on there since I just ordered it. Great list!
ReplyDeleteIn Search of Us was a really, really good read for me. I was more emotionally involved in Marilyn's story, but I also appreciated the daughter's search for who she was.
DeleteI so agree with you on Michael and Stella! Now I just ordered One Day in december because ...this was the last straw! LOL Sophie @bewareofthereader
ReplyDeleteOne Day in December was so, so frustrating and wonderful. Have you read Love, Rosie? It made me insane in the same sort of way was ODiD. The whole bad-timing-missed-opportunity thing, and just spending 10 years in their lives. I felt really invested.
DeleteYes to Zorie and Lennon, Stella and Michael, and Hazel and Josh! I really loved all of these pairings. I haven't given the topic much thought myself, but enjoy seeing what everyone else posts. A lot of these I still need to read!

I feel like I usually ship the couple in any romance I am reading. If I'm not, the romance is not very well written, but these book not only had great couples, but the books really stuck with me.
DeleteUgh Macy and Elliot and Josh and Hazel were SO GOOD. Loved both of those books so much. I just finish Queen of Air and Darkness so I'll say Jules and Emma and basically every single other couple from that series lol
ReplyDeleteCLo could do no wrong by me this year. I loved everything they put out. I have not finished QoAaD, but I was shipping Emma and June from the get-go
DeleteI love that we share several in common. Michael and Stella were so perfect together. I love how well they complemented one another. And Macy and Elliot... oh, they were just precious! And Laurie and Jack - they waited so long for their HEA and I was cheering for them all the way!
ReplyDeleteI love Michael and Stella, because they were an unlikely, but perfect match. He took the time to get to know and understand her needs, and he was able to see through her quirks.
DeleteI still think it's funny if someone would have mentioned "shipping" to me prior to blogging I would have been clueless. :) Now I just take it for granted haha. Anyways I so want to read Starry Eyes.
ReplyDeleteI remember asking my daughter to explain what shipping was all about. The older she gets, the more I lose my connect to the youth-speak.
DeleteI really need to read Starry Eyes and Josh and Hazel. :)

Both were really so, so wonderful. I hope you get to them at some point. Just thinking about those books makes me smile.
DeleteI see several from my tbr list. I just bought a copy of Starry Nights and hope to start The Kiss Quotient soon.
ReplyDeleteBoth were SOOOOO good! I hope you like them
DeleteI really think the couple in A Quiet Kind of Thunder is adorable and I really love how supportive they are of each other. Truly adorable! I also really do think Marilyn and James were a sweet couple. I enjoyed their storyline much more than Angie and her love interest >.>
ReplyDeleteMarilyn and James were why I loved In Search of Us. Their story was beautiful and tragic and it broke my heart and I wanted it all to be a lie. --sigh--
DeleteOoooh I haven't read any of these books yet but will definitely need to read them soon!
ReplyDeleteAll are contemporaries, but one. I am sort of a lonely contemporary reader most of the time.
