I know a lot of us love a good “Touch her, you die” trope in our books so here's a list of some recs with your classic protective MMC that would burn worlds for her and deal with the consequences after.
Xaden Riorson. That's it. Oh-and he has shadow powers ;)
Fourth Wing
1
The second book in the Fourth Wing Series. Xaden just hits EVERY TIME!!!
Iron Flame
His job is literally to be her bodyguard. Romantasy. Enemies to Lovers, Fated Mates, Slow Burn. They have ISSUES but it's cool :)
From Blood and Ash (Blood and Ash Series #1)
Modern HadesxPersephone retelling. Need I say more?
A Touch of Darkness (Hades X Persephone Series #1)
YA Fantasy. He wields shadows and his a big broody grump. I'm pretty sure he chokes out like 4 guys at the same time without lifting a finger.
Lightlark (The Lightlark Saga Book 1)
More like a "touch them and die" because the Inner Circle is that tight and protective of each other. Notice how I didn't include the first book- I wonder why? *cough* *cough* Tamlin literally let them touch her..and she did indeed die.
A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses Series #2)
I'm actually afraid of the MMC in this book. Cat and Mouse. Dark Romance. Twisted af.
Haunting Adeline
The second book in the 'Cat and Mouse' duet. The MMC still scares me, but in a better way than in the first book.
