It's time for The Broke and The Bookish's Top Ten Tuesday! This week's theme is Top Ten Author Duos You'd LOVE To See Write a Book Together. I think collaborations are the biggest hit or miss things authors can do. They're either blow me away fantastic, or "oh god, what a train wreck". I'm so curious to see everyone's pairings!
I've doubled up on a few of these authors because I couldn't pick which I'd want more! Edit: my computer is acting up, so I had to hurry and finish this post.
9. L.H. Cosway and Colleen Hoover
Two of my favorite authors! Colleen Hoover and L.H. Cosway both have additive writing styles, with vivid and relatable characters. Cosway would bring the swooning feels and some truly phenomenal men, while Hoover would handle the roller coaster of emotions and some form of incredible artistic talent.
8. Jessica Shirvington and Courtney Cole
L.H. Cosway: Six of Hearts, Hearts of Fire, King of Hearts, Painted Faces, The Hooker and The Hermit (with Penny Reid), and more Colleen Hoover: Confess, Slammed, Hopeless, Ugly Love, Never Never (with Tarryn Fisher), Maybe Someday, and more |
8. Jessica Shirvington and Courtney Cole
Jessica Shirvington: The Violet Eden/Embrace series, One Past Midnight, and more Courtney Cole: The Nocte trilogy, If You Stay, and more |
These two aren't very similar (at all), but I can't help thinking they'd make a fantastic mashup! Shirvington's stories suck you in right off the bat and features some of the best YA romance I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Cole's books, while they take a bit longer to really get into, are obsessive and twisty, with fantastic character development and plenty of depth. I think they'd compliment each other perfectly.
7. Shayla Black and Sierra Simone
Shalya Black: Wicked Lovers series and more Sierra Simone: Priest and the Markham Hall series |
6. Jeaniene Frost and Ilona Andrews
I think I would explode if this ever happened. It'd be incredible, just incredible!
Both are crack-like addictive (Andrews' stories taking longer to get into than Frost's), both write the most delicious alpha males (Bones...Curran....yum.), and both know how to make a kick ass heroine and fantastic side characters.
Between Frost's swoon worthy romance, humor, and to die for (see what I did there?) love scenes, and Andrews' world building and action, I think this pair would blow the PRA/UF community to pieces.
Jeaniene Frost: Night Huntress and Night Huntress World series, Night Prince series, and more Ilona Andrews: Kate Daniels series, The Edge series, and more |

5. Krista and Becca Ritchie and Mia Sheridan
They have a similar tone and they can all do both serious, heart breaking emotion and laugh out loud humor. It's a match made in heaven!
Krista and Becca Ritchie: The Addicted series, Calloway Sister series, and Amour Amour Mia Sheridan: Archer's Voice (read it!!), Becoming Calder, Kyland, Leo, Stinger, Grayson's Vow, and more |

4. Rachel Vincent and Jeaniene Frost
This one, #6, #2 and #1 all vied for my "oh my god that's what I'd kill for" spot! Vincent is my favorite YA/NA paranormal writer, and her witty and page-turning action would blend perfectly with Frost's.
Rachel Vincent: Soul Screamers series, Shifters series, The Stars Never Rise, and more Jeaniene Frost: See #6 |
3. Alice Clayton and Janet Evanovich
Alice Clayton: Cocktail series, Redhead series and Nuts Janet Evanovich: Stephanie Plum series and lots more |
I've gotten beyond sick of the Stephanie Plum series (chose Ranger, stop forgetting your gun, and quit being lazy!), but I have to admit the early books were hilarious. Alice Clayton's romance and tears-inducing humor would mix perfectly with Evanovich's quirky humor and light hearted action.
2. K.A. Tucker and Colleen Hoover
I don't even think I need to explain this one! It's freakin' perfect. That is all.
1. Karina Halle and L.H. Cosway
I'd give my left boob to see my two favorite authors team up!!! I can't even describe how amazing that would be. I'd have to find a way to bring to life whatever hero they created. <3
K.A. Tucker: Ten Tiny Breaths, Five Ways to Fall, Chasing River, Burying Water, and more Colleen Hoover: See #9 |
I don't even think I need to explain this one! It's freakin' perfect. That is all.
Karina Halle: The Experiment in Terror series, Racing The Sun, Love in English, Sins and Needles trilogy, Dirty Angels trilogy, The Pact, The Offer, and more L.H. Cosway: See #9 |
