Hi guys!
I'm looking for some novels (preferably novel series) that explore healthy couples—romances like Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase in Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable in Kim Possible (season 4), or Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson in Amazing Spider-Man (JMS-era).
That is, romances that have the following:
- Friendship slowly developing into love over time.
- Preferably, long-term friendships becoming relationships through shared experience and devotion.
- Once together, they should be together permanently and the love should be mutual.
- Limited to no sex, at least at the beginning of the relationship
- They should be cute and wholesome (e.g. sillily going on a date to an ice cream parlor, buying things for each other, and cuddling as opposed to focusing on each other's sexual parts and just trying to have a good time)!
- I'd prefer that there be no sex for the first few years of the relationship, or at least that the focus not be on that.
- No drama! Just couples trusting and loving one another, as they face the rest of the world!
- No swearing or vulgarities! I really hate that stuff.
Do more books like that exist? (Or TV shows/movies?) Thanks!
