It seems that too often once the guy and girl are together, the book starts to centre a lot around how the two interact, and every problem that occurs is one that stems from their relationship. And this happens so often when the book isn't promoted as say a romance. If I'm reading a dystopian or sci-fi, the majority of it shouldn't be about a spat that the couple is having.Chenise Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04021845419401946914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-22013454793732900602013-09-29T13:00:15.015-04:002013-09-29T13:00:15.015-04:00YES YES YES!!!

Most recently -- Elena and Damon. I'm pretty sure I actually clasped my hands to my face and went eeeee! Speaking of vampires, Buffy and Angel FOREVERR. Also, should I start watching Castle?

Just.... LOOK AT THAT FAAAACE.<br /><br />Do not talk to me about Bones. Slow burn romance is one thing, but the way they treat Bones and Brennan drives me up a wall. Besides that, I am wholly on your side. NICK AND JESS FOREVER.<br /><br />Also, Daine and Numair. PERFECTION. Just... the best fantasy slow burn romance ever. It still makes me happy to think about. THIS is why instalove is such a waste. Authors don't seem to realize how much more intense it is to make their couples come together over time rather than shove them into forced situations that give way to premature declarations of love.<br /><br />My favorite slow burn romance in YA? Definitely Ron and Hermione. I wanted them to kiss since book four and WHEN THEY FINALLY DID. Oh, the feels. And it just felt right. Those two kids knew each other so well, they were friends... and their love was real.<br /><br />THIS POST IS AWESOME. This should be required reading for all YA authors who want to add a romance to their books.Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08996840003306047763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-49493396040885944052013-09-26T11:00:13.993-04:002013-09-26T11:00:13.993-04:00I just read all three of these slow burn posts, an...I just read all three of these slow burn posts, and I'm SO FREAKING HAPPY RIGHT NOW. For one, because I seem to share about a gazillion ships with you guys. But mostly just because slow burn WINS MY HEART AND LIFE.<br /><br />There is nothing - NOTHING - like that caving when your ship finally caves and kisses for the first time. When my favorite ship on House (with which I was completely obsessed in high school) kissed for the first time, I literally lost count of how many times I watched the scene. When I went back and did the math, I estimated I watched the kiss around 70 times. Just that first night. This is, of course, an extreme. But it just shows how incredible that first moment can be!Sharon (A Book Barbie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03923363390909309303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-57564794139864499122013-09-26T10:20:57.611-04:002013-09-26T10:20:57.611-04:00I absolutely love this post of yours!

This has just become one of the be...Oh my goodness! This has just become one of the best blog posts I've read recently, and maybe it's because you basically just said everything I always think when I read books that involve romance/love storyline. I may also have been influenced by the numerous references to Castle because dang I love that show. I wish more people watched it!<br /><br />But, back to the topic at hand, I agree with so many of the slow burn couples that you've listed! I also felt that way about Puck and Sean in The Scorpio Races. I don't know if it's a perfect example, but I do remember loving the fact that you could see the initial attraction but it took some time for that relationship to develop to a point where I was like YESSSS! FINALLY!<br /><br />It's also something I've noticed about classics. So, classics obviously tend to have very little pay-off as far as romantic kisses and such, but there is that gradual and realistic development of their relationship. I mean... Darcy and Elizabeth. Jane and Rochester. Anne and Gilbert. Definitely no insta-love there, but they're couples that people LOVE. I think the way their relationships develop is definitely a part of that!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932292247636823526.post-60690379624529081752013-09-25T19:43:46.018-04:002013-09-25T19:43:46.018-04:00YES.

I adore Castle/Beckett too, and if they had gotten together sooner, definitely wouldn't have been as good.
