Favorite Fictional Couple of 2009

Alexa over at Not Enough Bookshelves put out an all call to see who our favorite couples were in the books we read this year. In fact, she'll give you some extra points in her contest if you post about it. So, I'm going to share mine.

Since I have this horrid obsession with bad boys. I have to say my favorite couple is Patch and Nora from Becca Fitzpatrick's book Hush, Hush.

And to prove how smoldering this boy Patch is, here's a quick excerpt:

"His black eyes sliced into me, and the corners of his mouth tilted up. My heart fumbles a beat and in that pause, a feeling of gloomy darkness seemed to slide like a shadow over me. It vanished in an instant, but I was still staring at him. His smile wasn't friendly. IT was a smile that spelled trouble. With a promise."
-p. 11

And that is just their first encounter. Can you say YUM!!!

  6. I keep hearing about this book! I am thinking it will have to make it onto that ever growing "to be read" list. Thanks for that excerpt!

    I've been reading the classics lately so for a non-modern pick I'd have to pick Jane and Mr. Rochester or for non-classic but historical fiction I'd go with the main couple from "The Witch of Cologne". Can't. Remember. Names! Aarrggghh!

  7. I think they made a good couple... eventually. But that excerpt doesn't exactly make me swoon. A non-friendly smile from a guy is usually pretty creepy... not sexy. :)

  12. Thats awesome, this book sounds amazing and I'll definitely be checking it out at some point. Seeing as how I haven't read Hush Hush my favourite couple would be Katsa and Po from Graceling.

  13. I just finished Hush, Hush last night and loved it. The woman at Border's who sold it to me said that everyone who worked at the store had read it twice and that it was their favorite YA.

  14. Oh Patch! Great excerpt from the book.

    I don't think Patch and Nora would be my favorite couple in books this year, but I'm not sure who it would be. Great pick though :D
