Larissa has dubbed today’s Monday Meme to be Hottest Book Couples. How can I turn down a chance to list my favorite smoldering smoochers? A few of mine fall clearly in the urban fantasy, with less focus on the romance than others…but I enjoy the build up and tension almost as much as the actual smexing! So, no more babbling, here are the top 5 couples I find to be the “Sexiest, Hottest, and Most Smoldering”.

5. Elena & Clay – Women of the Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong

Clay is such an alpha wolf, without being THE actual alpha. He is overprotective and strong and determined. Him and Elena have no issues letting their “animal instincts” take over and I love it!

4. Georgia & Seth – Georgia Kincaid series by Richelle Mead

Seth is such a good guy, so sweet…. yet he is still incredibly sexy and irresistable. The anticipation and waiting for this coupling to happen made it oh so much better.

3. Zadist & Bella – Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward

This one is almost solely because of the bathroom smex that almost happens and I feel so wrong about that! These two are hot, and Zadist just became 100 times hotter by becoming the over protective daddy.

2. Kate & Curran – Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews

Even without the actual smex happening (yet) these two make the top of my list. The wit and tension between them is entertaining, almost mouth watering even. At this point I am just hoping the Kate & Curran smex can live up to what we are all expecting!

1. Cat & Bones – Night Huntress Series by Jeaniene Frost

I mean like there was a chance for #1 to be anything but this couple? They are funny and charming, and mostly set in their commitment to each other. I love that I don’t spend the series wondering “will they or won’t they”. The smex is just damn hot, but along with it they have some fantastic story lines and action. I shall leave you with one of my favorite quotes from Destined For An Early Grave.

He f**ks even better than he looks”, I settled on saying. Several heads turned. I didn’t care; I was pissed. “And that beautiful face is going to be clamped between my legs as soon as we get home, don’t you worry.

*************************

I really really tried to narrow it down to just 5, but I am afraid I am going to have to throw in 2 honerable mentions.

First Honorable Mention – Harry and Susan from The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher. There is this scene where he is forced to tie Susan up in the kitchen and well…. I can’t go further without needing a cold shower.

Second Honorable Mention – Hunter and (J)Olivia from the Signs of the Zodiac series by Vicki Pettersson. I can’t say much without spoilage so all I will say is, yum.
