Goodreads asked Lex Valentine:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Lex Valentine Ian and Miro in the Marshals series by Mary Calmes are one of my most favorite fictional couples. I don't have any one favorite because my favorite is usually determined by my mood. However, I find myself re-reading the Marshals books over and over because of the dynamic between this couple. Miro tries so hard to prove that he's okay without Ian when in reality he's breaking inside. Ian wants to be with Miro all the time, hates when he's called away by the military and he won't quit because he still somehow equates being a man with serving his country and being the tough guy soldier. Finding out he's gay has messed with his sense of self and his manhood. So he goes when he's called even though it kills him to leave Miro. He worries because he knows when he's gone Miro doesn't take care of himself and always gets hurt. When they resolve these issues its amazing, but the getting there is an emotional roller coaster through these books. You can't help but love these guys each with their own brand of neurosis.
