I recently reviewed a book entitled Smugglers and Scones on my blog. It takes place in a historic bed and breakfast which once belonged to a famous author. The descriptions of the old house were so rich with detail and history that I wished it were a real place so I could book a room there. It all just sounded so beautiful, I couldn't stop thinking about it. So if I could step into a fictional book world, I would choose that book so I could spend a night at the bed and breakfast.

It may be lame to mention characters from one of my own books, but if I'm honest I'd have to pick Damian and Jenn from Primogénito: The Fuentes Legacy. Their relationship just grew so much while I was writing about them and became so much deeper than I ever imagined it would, it left me in tears at times.
To pick a couple from a book I've read is a lot harder because I don't read a lot of romance. I guess I would go with Henry and Clare from The Time Traveler's Wife. That book brought me the closest I've ever been to loving the romance genre.
If I'm allowed to talk about TV couples, there are a few, but high up on the list would be Mulder and Scully from The X Files. I loved how the sexual tension between them grew slowly and when they finally got together it was so subtle I almost missed it my first time viewing the series. But it totally worked and I adored them together. A relationship that surprised me by being so completely perfect while at the same time unexpected was that between Sawyer and Juliette on Lost. That one actually made me cry, and I love it when that happens because it does not occur very often.
