* ''Literature/LegacyOfOrisha'': The relationship between Inan and Zélie in ''Children of Blood and Bone'' can come across as rushed considering he hated her and magic for the bulk of the story and the two barely had a kind word to say to each other. The romance could be explained as teenage hormones, but it ultimately seems shallow especially when compared to the relationship between Amari and Zélie. One of its problems can also be summed up as its length - very little time is spent showing them transitioning from enemies to friends.

* Deconstructed in ''Literature/CrownOfStars''. Liath and Sanglant marry very quickly, apparently primarily based on physical attraction. As time goes by, their marriage is plagued by trust issues and poor communication, as one might expect after marrying someone that one barely knows. Particularly as it's established that both characters have some significant emotional problems.

* ''Literature/TaraDuncan'':
** Sylver and Fafnir. The two had had only a handful of conversations about their shared dwarven heritage when suddenly a device in which dwarves are bonded to their one true love similarly to ''Twilight's'' infamous imprinting method is brought up. Sylver isn't even a dwarf and shouldn't even be subject to this, but this is Handwaved as it still working on him due to being raised by them. The two kiss, are bonded to each other, and from then on are treated as a perfect couple with no on-screen setup whatsoever.
** Arguably Tara and Cal. While the two were good friends, Tara had a longstanding relationship with Robin and Cal was in love with a woman named Eleanor, then flirted with Mara, Tara's younger sister. While Robin and Tara had a rocky relationship, Tara rejected many other suitors in favour of Robin in the past. Come the 8th book, suddenly Cal falls for Tara and Tara dumps her boyfriend to be with him with little prior buildup to this.
