Top 5 Sundays # 69 - Hero & Heroine That Should NOT Have Ended Up Together!

12 Lovely Comments!


Top 5 Sundays 2012 sq large

Hey everyone!

This week we have a very interesting theme, one that has been extremely hard for me.

I realized I tend to root for the winning team most of the time and by the time a series ends, the hero and heroine I am rooting for are together.

So, for the purposes of this list i shall look at series or individual books in a series where by the end of the book, the Hero with which the Heroine ended up is not my final choice.

Hope you guys will join me!

btw, it might contain spoilers to some series or a book in the series! beware!



  This week’s results:




Favorite Love Triangles! =  4 (33%)
Hero & Heroine That Should NOT Have Ended Up Together!  8 (66%)

Theme Idea by Camille
Thanks!




The theme for today is:

Hero & Heroine That Should NOT Have Ended Up Together!

But first, a little bit about this feature and the rules to join in…
Every Sunday I will post a TOP 5 list on the blog. It can be about anything and every week I'll have a new theme {You can vote on next week’s theme on my left sidebar!} and I will ad the Mr.Linky bellow the post so you can do a list with the theme and add you link to it.
Rules:
  1. Write a post listing your TOP 5 choices within the theme I chose (or was chosen on a poll) for the week.
  2. Mention this Blog on the post and link back to it.
  3. Fell free to use the Feature's image (there is a smaller size version of it bellow)
  4. After you've finished your post, add you link (of the post, not your blog's main page) to the Mr.Linky at the end of that week's post.
  5. If you don’t have a blog to post, just leave your list in the comments =)
This week’s theme is  Hero & Heroine That Should NOT Have Ended Up Together! 
*in no particular order

Sookie & Bill 
Southern Vampire Mysteries series by Chalaine Harris


I don't like Bill and even in that first novel i wasn't on his team all the way... So, Sookie ending up with him then was not for me hehe


Morgan & Brian
Morgan Kingsley Series by Jenna Black



The series is over and it is the only example of a series that didn't end up how I really wanted. I know it was canceled and it didn't get a proper send off, but still LOL
Nothing against Brian, but for me Morgan deserved better =D

   
Justine & Otto 
The Disillusionists Trilogy by Carolyn Crane



I was never team Otto, and Justine ending this book with him did not please me to say the least =P


October & Quentin 
October Daye Series by Seanan Mcguire


Love Toby and I am totally team Tybalt, so she sort of ending up with Quentin in this book did not make me happy. 



Cassandra & Mircea 
Cassie Palmer Series by Karen Chance



A lot of people don't agree with me, but Mircea is too manipulative and sleek for me, I am totally Team Pritkin!



Attention!

    When I saw the theme I was like: "Wow. I can't remember a couple that should not have ended up together." and then I read your list and turns out, I totally agree. Specially about Mircea and Cassie. They are all about the power and the sex. Doesn't seem to be much feeling involved. Well, finger crossed for the next book. Team Pritkin all the way!!

  2. @Tamara

    I know! I end up with some themes sometimes that I think Im never gonna be able to find 5 to list, but I it ends up working out LOL

    Team Pritkin all the way for sure! Your description of M and C is perfect!

  3. I haven't read the other series but I agree with Sookie and Bill. That guys always get me angry!

  4. Danielle says:

    *GASP!*
    I love Cassandra & Mircea! Love them!

    totally agree about Jusine & Otto and Bill + Sookie though. What were they thinking (and why did I once root for both those couples!?! I am so ashamed!) lol

  5. Nice choices! This one was really hard! Glad I wasn't the only one! Forgot about the Cassie and Mircea one. I wasn't on his Team either!

  6. I am with you on Bill & Sookie. I actually only read the first two books too. I haven't read any of the other books, so I just skimmed it so there wouldn't be spoilers for me.

  7. I like this idea but I haven't read any of the books other than Mind Games. I don't think Justine and Otto will last, or at least I really hope they don't. :)

    I have a topic suggestion for you! How about Top Five Ghostly Novels? Not necessarily books where the main characters are ghosts, but where they encounter them a lot. :)

  8. I only recognized the Sookie Stackhouse books and Cassie Palmer books. This is an interesting Top Five post. Great idea!

  9. andie says:

    Oh so many Pritkin lover lol Team Mircea here!! :D
    Bill argh... GOOD CHOICE!!

    I wanted to read Mind games for a while now, but im a little scared, i don't like love triangles... the boys i prefer are always the ones who never gets the girl...

    andie @ The Secret Sanctuary of Books

  10. @Savy

    @Andie

  11. Rachel says:

    Do you mean Connor and Toby? Quentin is her squire, not her lover. :) Totally agree with you about Mircea, I love, love, love Pritkin.
