Goodreads asked M.T. Bass:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

M.T. Bass Wow, what a great question. Now you've done it, though, you've gone and made me think…

The first ones that came to mind were all TV couples: Lucy & Ricky, Ralph & Alice, Bones & Booth, Beckett & Castle, etc. Okay, Romeo and Juliet popped up pretty quickly, but I had to really dig through the memory banks trying to come up with some from novels. I've read Kathy Reichs, Richard Castle, Larry McMurtry and David Balducci's King & Maxwell books, but my mind defaults back to the characters on the screen. Maybe it's that I'm not well read in Romance. Maybe I've just been so brain-washed by the boob tube…I just can't think of an iconic couple from the novels I've read that jumps up as one of my favorites.

So, I'll default back to TV: Emma Peel and John Steed from the Avengers.

Why? It was a fun show to watch and they had a completely unstereotypical (is that a word? Spell check says, "No") and intriguing relationship as co-equals.

But I'm still thinking about the books I've read…
