Goodreads asked K.B. Hoyle:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

K.B. Hoyle My favorite fictional couple is Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. Is there really a more perfect pairing than that? The romantic tension between the two of them--not liking each other and misunderstanding each other, but being drawn inexorably toward each other the whole time--is just literary perfection. I won't spoil the end of the novel for those poor souls who haven't had the joy of reading it yet, but the moment in the story where you learn what's really going on makes for the absolute best resolution of romantic tension EVER. This is why I chose the name "Darcy" for my first protagonist in my own novels.
