Waffle Monarch | 59 comments Hey guys. I was wondering if someone could recommend to me a book that fits my specific criteria.

1) No YA
2) A heroine that isn't pathetic.
3) Still a romance and definitely not UF.

Ive been searching pretty hard for something like this. Its tough to find an author who seems willing to instill a little backbone into their protagonists.

Im interested in a different kind of heroine, yet I still want it to be a romance.

As an example of what I definitely don't want, I just got done reading Cinder. She is a worm who lays down and lets everyone walk all over her. I hate her and wish her dead. I read through the whole thing hoping for just one cyborg uppercut to be thrown but it never happened.

So if anyone has a book with a protagonist who is essentially the polar opposite of that, and yet is STILL a romance I would be eternally grateful for a recommendation.

Becky ♡The Bookworm♡ (mckennamuse) | 55 comments I can think of quite a few historical westerns and contemporaries,but I assume you're interested only in PNR. These came to mind right away:

Clean Sweep (Innkeeper Chronicles #1) by Ilona Andrews was pretty good, but leans more to UF than PNR.

Bonded (Law of the Lycans, #1) by Nicky Charles was great and Brandy is an awesome heroine.

Here are a few more:

The Medium (Emily Chambers Spirit Medium Trilogy #1) by C.J. Archer The Winter Witch by Paula Brackston Long Time Coming by Edie Claire Highland Shift (Highland Destiny, #1) by Laura Harner

The whole Highland Destiny series was pretty good. I hope you'll find something you enjoy!


Danielle Book Boss (daniellebookboss) Lots of sexy times but still a kick butt heroine and very much a pnr

Feral Sins (The Phoenix Pack, #1) by Suzanne Wright

Other series I like:

The Darkest Night (Lords of the Underworld, #1) by Gena Showalter Kiss of Midnight (Midnight Breed, #1) by Lara Adrian Dragon Actually (Dragon Kin, #1) by G.A. Aiken Pleasure Unbound (Demonica, #1) by Larissa Ione Dark Awakening (Dark Dynasties #1) by Kendra Leigh Castle
