Top Ten Favorite Romances



Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by


This Week's Topic is:





                             Top Ten Favorite Romances          


Sookie and Eric in HBO's True Blood

#1 Sookie & Eric          

Southern Vampires Series - Charlene Harris

Katie: So I definitely need to start by saying it was very hard for me to separate "Romance" from "Love Story". I had to make sure I found some couples that thrilled me. With that said, I love Sookie with Eric, even if you haven't read the books and have only see the T.V. show True Blood... you know it is H-O-T... jam packed full of "Romance" if you know what I mean ;)


#2 Sookie & Bill  Alcide  Quinn  ANYBODY!

Southern Vampires Series - Charlene Harris 

Krisha: Katie is so right about the romance between Sookie & Eric, but let's face it, that girl has a lot of beaus in the series and I rooted for each of them.  Each supe is super manly and love Sookie in their own way.  13 books in this series and our leading lady still hasn't settled down.  ::sigh::
L to R: Eric (vamp), Alcide (werewolf), and they haven't introduced Quinn onto True Blood yet so no manly pic of him.


I don't think this is actually this movie cover.
If it is then its news to me... just thought it was nice

#3 Tris & Tobias 

Divergent Series - Veronica Roth

Katie: Even though there is not a boat load of romance between Tris and Tobias ( Four), the sexual tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife . I would always find myself screaming " kiss her already ". I love their story, and am always rooting for them to stay strong! 



Go get the Jenny Pox for your Kindle here
and for your Nook here.

#4 & #5 Jenny & Seth

Paranormal Series - J.L. Bryan 

Katie: Jenny and Seth have an amazing relationship... always there for each other, and death literally can not keep them apart! I know I am a HUGE preacher of  Jenny Pox and the Paranormal series, and I will say it for the 100th time... The Paranormal series is a MUST READ, and book 1, Jenny Pox is FREE for your e-reader. So pick up a copy and discover this awesome paranormal romance. 

Krisha: I think this is one of my favorite because it is a "first love" romance, well, kind of.  Ahhh, just read the books already! There is no excuse for you not to!


Puppy Love

#6 Grace & Sam

The Wolves of Mercy Falls - Maggie Stiefvater

Krisha: I really loved these books.  It was the first "werewolf" book that I read after Twilight, and it was like a breath of fresh air. Totally different and no love triangle for once. My favorite scene is when they go and see the Northern Lights.  It made me add that to my bucket list.

#7 Lena & Ethan  

Beautiful Creatures - Kami Garcia / Margaret Stohl

Katie: I'm finishing Beautiful Creatures tonight and these two can't get any closer! First off, they communicate telepathically , share the same dreams, and their bodies always react when they touch / kiss each other. Not to mention guys don't come any better than Mr. Ethan Wate! He is so patient and kind and always there for Lena. No matter how many times she says "it would be better for both of us if we ended it now", unlike most guys, he knows that means "don't leave" !!  - OMG close to the end of the book now and just found out a major romance game changer... not sure if they should stay on my "romance top 10" anymore, but I'm leaving it in there since I wrote this before I finished the book... if you have read Beautiful Creatures then I'm sure you know what I'm talking about! 

I LOVE this cover!

#8 KJ & Virgil

Wolves, Boys, & Other Things That Might Kill Me - Kristen Chandler 

Krisha: Dang wolves keep showing up on my list!  But this time it's about real wolves and not the were type.  KJ & Virgil's romance was night the focus of this book.  What made it stand out to me though is how they respected and really listened to one another.  Now that's romantic!

#9 Lena & Alex

Delirium Series - Lauren Oliver 

Katie: In a society where your marriage is prearranged, Lena and Alex fell in love anyways! My favorite thing about their love story is when she asked him the most important question "why me?". He had an amazing answer... how she reminded him of birds who fly free. No boundaries... he said so much more but I was just so into his explanation! I could totally feel it too!


#10 Clare & Henry

The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger

Krisha: You know the story. Ordinary girl, time traveling guy, and an extraordinary love.  I still haven't seen the movie.  I just don't think it'll hold a candle to what's between the covers.



Happy (early) Valentines from Inkk to you. 
Thanks for stopping by our TTT this week!

  6. The movie for Time Traveler's Wife was actually really good and I usually HATE movie adaptations. I saw this one in theaters and myself, my mother, my sister and cousins were LITERALLY sobbing OUT LOUD at the movie theater. It was so good - you must go see it!

    Great list!!
