Goodreads asked Selene Grace Silver:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Selene Grace Silver Sometimes I love a book for its heroine, sometimes for its hero, but when an author makes me love both--that's story magic. Honestly, I could probably list a hundred couples I've loved over the years (I read a lot). So, limited to just one? No way. Here are ten of the best, off the top of my head.
1. Elizabeth and Darcy (Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen) Classic. Perfect couple. No explanation needed.
2. Georgina and Harry (The Leopard Prince, Elizabeth Hoyt) A quirky lady with her head in the clouds and her taciturn land manager determined to keep his hands off the woman born above his class? Annual reread for me.
3. Chaz and Gabriel (Gabriel’s Ghost, Linnea Sinclair) The rebel with a poet's soul rescues the female military officer who has never been able to capture him...and they join forces against evil. One of the best SFRs.
4. Rebecca and Logan (Master of the Mountain, Cherise Sinclair) A damaged, dominating hero gets healed by an artist's sweet, submissive nature. Sigh.
5. Emmaline and Lachlan (A Hunger Like No Other, Kresley Cole) A mating call so powerful, a man rips off his leg to escape his chained state in order to reach his intended, only to discover that she's a creature he despises? And they're both immortal so this is forever. What a meet cute!
6. Marie and Horse (Reaper’s Property, Joanna Wylde) A feisty heroine tames a giant hulking biker who pushes all her boundaries. Hotter than hot.
7. Annie and Eric (Hard Time, Cara McKenna) Prim librarian flirts with violent inmate in prison, then he gets released early. Oops.
8. Lillian and Marcus (It Happened One Autumn, Lisa Kleypas) Headstrong, tomboyish, rich American turns the head of an arrogant, proper and wealthy Duke, driving him crazy, and seducing him into love.
9. Suzanne and John (Midnight Man, Lisa Marie Rice) Stylish, elegant designer needs protection, and she gets it from one dangerous, ex-military and super masculine guy.
10. Serena and Lucky (Lucky’s Lady, Tami Hoag) The Louisiana bayou adds a sultry sensuality to this couple's love story--a haunted artist living outside civil society and the beautiful psychologist who soothes his tormented soul.
