Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together
Happy Tuesday y’all! This week’s topic is a “Love Freebie.” I both love and hate freebies. I’m not quite creative enough to come up with my own topic 😅 However, as I’ve been thinking about today’s topic for a while, I kept circling back to my favorite fantasy couples. Most fantasy has some romance in it the books whether it is a main part like in fantasy romance or just an additional part of the story. Below are ten of my favorite couples from some of my favorite books in no particular order. As always, covers/titles link to Blog review, Goodreads, or Amazon (affiliate).
Alyx and Israel from the Dark Angel series by Hanna Peach
Brie and Finn from These Hollow Vows by Lexi Ryan
Aelin and Rowan from Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas
Trinity and Zayne from the Harbinger series by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Joclyn and Ilyan from the Imdalind series by Rebecca Ethington
Callie and Desmond from the Bargainer series by Laura Thalassa
Karou and Akiva from Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
Jax and Lir from Broken Skies by Theresa Kay

I wondered what a love freebie was, but your post explained that we could interpret “love” anyway we want. I chose rom coms of all sorts.
I’ve read a few of these and own a couple more.

Yeah, freebie topics are tough! Lol. From your picks I’ve read Armentrout, Grey, Ryan, and Howard! Loved them all! From your honorable mentions I read Yarros and Ibanez with the other three being on my TBR pile! Lol. Looking forward to read those eventually!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
I don’t really read fantasy but covers like these make we wonder why I don’t. Happy reading!

Xaden and Violet are pretty awesome. A couple of my favourites are Catalina and Alesandro (the Hidden Legacy series by Ilona Andrews) and Charlotte and Desmond (from the Section 47 series by Jennifer Estep).
