2019 was a great year for romance and there were a lot of couples I fell head over heels for. So I’m really excited that today’s topic for Top 10 of 2019, hosted by Kimberly and Ginger, is about listing ten of our new OTPs. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, OTP stands for one true pairing. I am really excited to talk about these ten couples though so let’s hop to it!
Zsadist and Bella from Lover Awakened by J.R. Ward
“I’m not broken, I’m ruined. Do you understand the difference? With broken maybe you can fix things. Ruined? All you can do is wait to bury me.”
Lover Awakened by J. R. Ward
Sam and Alyssa from Gone Too Far by Suzanne Brockmann
“You’re guilty of making the same mistake most people make. You say ‘I love you’ but what you really mean is ‘I want you.’ You think it’s the same thing, but it’s not. You don’t fall in love with someone just because they fuck you like there’s no tomorrow.” Alyssa purposely used his words, “I don’t doubt that you wanted me, Sam. That you still do. Because on that really primitive, physical level, yeah, I still want you, too. But that’s not love. That’s about possessing, about being possessed. It’s not real –it can’t possibly last. Love is something you give. It’s not about taking, or possessing.”
Gone Too Far by Suzanne Brockmann
Chloe and Red from Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert
“You were hurt and you reacted. You were in an unhealthy situation in more ways than one and you panicked and cleansed everything with fire. Don’t dismiss your emotions and your self-protection as just a fucked up decision. Don’t reduce something so complex and real and important to nothing.”
Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert
Sam and Alva from The Widow of Rose House by Diana Biller
“There was nothing to be done–he was in love with her, he always would be, and that was that. She was his person. If she was complicated, then he loved her complications too.”
The Widow of Rose House by Diana Biller
Alex and Henry from Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
“First, you’ve been, like, Draco Malfoy–level obsessed with Henry for years—do not interrupt me—and since the royal wedding, you’ve gotten his phone number and used it not to set up any appearances but instead to long-distance flirt with him all day every day.”
Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
Eric and Becca from Into the Blue by Chanel Cleeton
“I fucked up with you. Spectacularly so. I hurt you and I hurt myself, and if I could undo all of the wreckage I caused, I would.”
Into the Blue by Chanel Cleeton
Poppy and Westmead from The Duke I Tempted by Scarlett Peckham
If he could give her nothing else, he would be the person to whom she was precious. He was not capable of love. But he had a gift for recognizing value.
The Duke I Tempted by Scarlett Peckham
Rose and Martin from Teach Me by Olivia Dade
If Rose didn’t intend to lower her guard, she needed to impose some distance between her and Martin. A man without his own armor could be hurt so easily. And she had no intention of shedding hers. Not even for him.
Teach Me by Olivia Dade
Alex and Greer from Best of Luck by Kate Clayborn
This is the shit no one understands about panic until it happens to them. That sometimes you’re just panicking about panic, about the thought of panic, about the memory of panic. It fucking sucks.
Best of Luck by Kate Clayborn
Grip and Bristol from Grip by Kennedy Ryan
“Don’t you feel how connected we are?” I ask. “If I break your heart, I break mine.”
Grip by Kennedy Ryan
And there you have my ten new OTPs. Honestly there are a few others I could have stuck on here, but self-restraint is a good trait, right? Anyway, who are your OTPs from the year? Let me know!
