What are you reading? j.k. This group provides an opportunity for networking among bloggers and authors of young adult novels. It also manages to convince you that the characters should be together without telling you that they should be. Halfway to the Grave is half-urban fantasy, half-romance, and completely engrossing. Kate and Curran were barely cordial at the start of this series, so watching the slow escalation of their feelings for each other from grudging respect to competitive courting was all the more satisfying.Īnother beloved trope of mine, the love-hate relationship is a go-to for me, and few have done it better than Jeaniene Frost. The best urban fantasy authors know how to develop a romantic subplot without letting it swallow the story.

It’s probably a testament to my romantic nature that I feel the show has lagged somewhat since the focus shifted from Jim and Pam’s storyline then again, I’m also upset that there hasn’t been more Creed screen-time, so perhaps I’m not the best judge of The Office. I’m a sucker for stories where the best friend gets the girl, and these two were no exception. I happen to love the subtlety with which Hart Hanson developed their relationship and the fact that most of the important bits happened off-screen. It took six long years, but these two are finally together. I never particularly liked Rose, but that didn’t stop me from loving these two together, however maudlin and silly the story might seem fifteen years later. If Jane and Rochester’s love was improbable, than the growth of their friendship beforehand was even more so. I thought I would dedicate today’s post to discussing some of my favorite couples, literary and otherwise.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Valentine’s Day close to those you love, or if not, then doing something that you love.
