This is for all the people out there who want a fictional valentine! Here are my top five couples from various books and my favourite most romantic quotes from each one from various books! I’m always looking for more recommendations, so do send me yours. I have tried to do one from each genre I review so have a look down!
Fantasy Valentine
Powerless, Paedyn and Kai are just *chef’s kiss*. It seems they are in every booklist and post I create but it is because they are truly one of the booktok books that exceeded all the hype it was given. Picking their quotes was like eating one sweet but here they are!
Quotes:
“Remind me to make you smile like that again, when you arent dying and i have all the time in the world to memorise it.” – Kai
Paedyn: “I could get used to you being a gentlemen, Azer.”
Kai: “and i could get used to being one for you, Gray”
Pae: “I didnt realise you had watched me so closely.”
Kai: “Watched? Darling I never stopped.”
Dystopian Valentine
See this is really tricky to pick! I love dystopian so much, Red Queen and others like it are constantly being added to my shelves and their romances all deserve to be on this list (although Mare and Cal are especially adorable). In the end I decided Kennedy and Phoenix (twelfth keeper) took the prize (despite the age gap which I try really hard to ignore).
Quotes:
Phoenix: “I dont bite”
Kennedy: “No you just burn”
Phoenix: “true”
Special (kinda cheating a little because it isnt from the first book but i had to include”
Kennedy: “If my soul has a compass, it always points to Phoenix. Wherever he goes, I follow.”
Historical (like victorican feel but with magic) Fantasy Valentine
Fierce Heart by Tara Grayce – this is actually on kindle unlimited so if you have that then it can be downloaded in time for Valentines! This is a elf/human arranged marriage slowburn and I’ve read the entire series twice over and the romance is just so cute. Really hard to find a super romantic quote because it is a slowburn over the series and they are more demonstrative in their romantic interest like learning about each others culture and language.
Quotes:
Farrendel – “Your smile. No one else was smiling. They were looking at each other as enemies. but you smiled, as if we were people you were happy to meet.”
Warrior/Assassin/Fighter Valentine
The one is from The Throne of Glass series, the prequel which is called the Assassins Blade. I adore Caeleana and Sam, and honestly, they are the epitome of a good rivals to lovers/assassin to assassin trope and jostle for the position of my favourite book couple EVER.
Favourite Quote
“She would tuck Sam into her heart, a bright light for her to take out whenever things were darkest.”
Urban Fantasy Valentine
The Lies of Vampires and Slayers by K.M Shea
Jade and Connor. 100% percent. They just win hands down. He is a vampire so one of my favourite things is all his teasing nicknames for her like “afternoon tea” and “emergency rations”. they are so comfortable together and these ever changing fond nicknames are just adorable. Its also a slowburn so no direct quotes from this one but it is so worth the read and it is a completed trilogy! It is also on kindle unlimited!
Happy Valentines!
