Goodreads asked Patty Blount:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Patty Blount Oh, boy! Great question and it's SOOOO hard to pick one. I adore Eve and Roarke from the JD Robb books. I like how they both came from the same sort of abuse and made something out of themselves in spite of it. I like how they are able to love and didn't become terrible people because they'd both been treated so terribly. They broke their own bonds.

I absolutely love Echo and Noah from Katie McGarry's PUSHING THE LIMITS books. Both of these teenagers want normalcy. So many teens want anything but normal so I love that Katie's characters crave it. And the part that always reduces me to a puddle of patty tears is when Noah is willing to risk everything to give Echo what she wants, just like she's wiling to risk the same.

Finally, I am head over heels for Jamie and Claire in Outlander. I've read all the books in the series and despite the time differences, Jamie is quite a progressive thinker. I love that he doesn't try to control or change Claire for who she is. And she doesn't try to change him. Oh, they butt heads often but they never forget how deeply they love each other and under that love is an even deeper and lasting respect.
