READATHON BOOK CHALLENGE + PROGRESS DAY 3 7.1.15

Writing My Own FairyTale is hosting Day 3's Bout of Books Challenge. We're asked to couple characters from unassociated books and explain our reasons. Relationship can be friendship, romantic, parental, etc. My pairing would be romantic Drew of the Drew Farthering Mystery series by Julianna Deering *

*
with Maggie of the Maggie Hope Mystery series by Susan Elia MacNeal
*  Intelligent, quick witted, and personable, they are well matched. Maggie's access to government levels via her work and Drew's access via his peerage status on the local homefront would be a dynamic combination for teamwork.  It would also provide for relational understanding at a deeper level, both being investigative by nature and occupation.  Work related time apart would be understood. Supportive of each other by their career knowledge, downtime together would be valued. They would make a great team both in work and as a couple..   That's my thinking on this character coupling. What book characters would you consider coupling? * Progress to date ~ 2 books completed as of Tuesday 2nd day of Readathon.
1. A Lady Most Lovely by Jennifer Delamere 2. The Seafront Tea Rooms by Vanessa  Greene Currently reading  ~ Completed Lisa Noratto's  3. The Promise Keeper as my 3rd day of Bob readathon
