Goodreads asked Megan Ryder:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Megan Ryder Wow, this is a great question - and one that changes for me all the time. I have so many fictional couples that I love but I'm going to go back to my favorite historical romance couple - Colin and Penelope from Romancing Mr. Bridgerton by Julia Quinn. Penelope was a wallflower and had absolutely no prospects and in Regency England, she was an old maid almost before she even had her debut. She was overlooked, bullied and unloved. Colin was the popular boy, everything came easy to him, but he was not perfect either. She had a huge crush on him but he never saw the girl next door until one day. Their love grew over time and I loved how it happened. I think my heart felt for Penelope and her quiet inner strength and I loved how she won over Colin and how he eventually saw beneath her. I still reread that book almost every year.
