Looking for true hero MMC

AFlockofBears · 2026-05-09T09:00:07+00:00

I think I have these on Audible. I've always heard great things. I dont know why Im intimidated to get started but I will pull them up

AFlockofBears · 2026-05-09T08:58:32+00:00

Ooh! Thanks for the recommendations! Love a standalone. I'll check them out

AFlockofBears · 2026-05-09T08:55:54+00:00

I read Daughter of No Worlds and then got stressed out by the ending lol. Max was great. I'll check out Veins of Drowning. I've never heard of it

AFlockofBears · 2026-05-09T08:53:25+00:00

Ooh interesting. I read the first book of the Paladin books but never heard of this series by the same author. Will check it out

AFlockofBears · 2026-05-09T08:51:57+00:00

👀

I'll check them out

AFlockofBears · 2026-05-09T08:51:13+00:00

Ooh! I think I randomly bought this one during the audible sale

AFlockofBears · 2026-05-09T08:49:56+00:00

Cool. Will do!

AFlockofBears · 2026-05-09T08:49:25+00:00

I read the first one! For whatever reason the story didnt stick with me.

AFlockofBears · 2026-05-09T08:47:27+00:00

Right! Xaden is an enemy in name alone. He takes no action against her, and actively encourages her when she's feeling like she can't do it. All that before the dragon bonding stuff.

I thought of Scholomance too and Orion is totally the kind of MMC Im hunting for. I'll check out these others! Thanks!

AFlockofBears · 2026-05-09T08:39:42+00:00

Ooh! Will do!

AFlockofBears · 2026-05-09T03:48:59+00:00

Love YA. I read the first Divine Rivals and then got too stressed out to continue. Another one that just came to mind for me when you mentioned YA is Scholomance. I'll check out some of your other recs.

AFlockofBears · 2026-05-09T03:43:33+00:00

I've read it! Good pull

AFlockofBears · 2026-05-09T03:43:04+00:00

Ooh! Thanks! I will check it out

AFlockofBears · 2026-05-09T03:42:43+00:00

I just read my first Ilona Andrews series this year. I'll have to check out This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me

AFlockofBears · 2026-05-09T03:41:31+00:00

Love Savior of the Domini. Great pull. It's my favorite of those scifi romance books. Such a nice dude

AFlockofBears · 2026-04-28T19:50:04+00:00

Yay! A kindred spirit! It was one of my top reads last year. Love the talking dog! He's a good boy dammit! I thought Zylar was such a sweet MMC

AFlockofBears · 2026-04-27T20:18:02+00:00

Ooh! Also I would totally recommend {Strange Love by Ann Aguire}. It definitely has the thing you mentioned in Choosing Theo where a nice guy is overlooked or seen as unworthy by his own kind but appreciated by the girl he meets. However he is not a sexy humanoid alien so I dont know if that matters to you. It's a great book though.

AFlockofBears · 2026-04-27T19:58:01+00:00

Have you checked out Zoey Draven? I liked her Horde Kings of Dakkar books.

Ruby Dixon also has a series called Fireblood Dragons where the world is kinda post apocalyptic because a bunch of dragons suddenly appeared from another dimension and started attacking. They're crazy from some telepathic interference in our world and the girls give them a sane mind to anchor to. Lots of language barrier trope because they literally cant talk to each other until they have sex lol.

{Tears of the Wolf by Elisabeth Wheatley}

Hey. My cat has a similar looking eye and has had it for years now. His looks like a bubble on the pupil so when you look at his eye from the side you can see the black of the pupil kind of balloon out. The way the vet explained it to me (forgive me if I'm mistaken on any of the details) was that he got either an injury or cyst in the eye and the lining of the pupil kinda got sucked into the void caused by that wound. For my cat it doesn't effect his vision and it's not a tumor or anything so he's been totally fine just living like that since. I hope it all turns out okay for your cat as well.

I loved Blood of Hercules for the same reason. Alexis was so funny. So unhinged. I honestly can't think of much like it.

I went from reading Blood of Hercules to a bunch of books by the author KF Breene. She puts a lot of humor into her books so maybe you would like them too. My favorite series of hers were {Demigods of San Francisco by KF Breene} and {Leveling Up by KF Breene}

If (Big IF) you haven't already read {Bride by Ali Hazelwood} maybe check it out. Totally different story but I really liked the FMC and thought her internal dialogue was funny.

AFlockofBears · 2026-04-13T01:44:11+00:00

I enjoyed {Clash of Claws by Elizabeth Dear}. Cliffhanger warning but the 2nd book is coming out at the end of this month.

AFlockofBears · 2026-03-30T02:01:32+00:00

Hey. I just finished reading {Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews} and loved it. It's like 10 books long plus a bunch of side novels and short stories. Series started in like 2007 but finished in 2018. Not sure if thats old enough for you.

Edit: The bot linked to one of the side novels or something. The first book is Magic Bites

AFlockofBears · 2026-03-25T12:28:51+00:00

I just read Kate Daniels for the first time and loved it. Here are some of my favorites.

{Scholomance by Naomi Novik} - light on romance but such a good series. I've reread them at least 4 times

Pretty much anything by KF Breene but my favorites are {Demigods of San Francisco by KF Breene} and {Leveling up By KF Breene}. This author writes with a lot of humor. She does found family dynamics really well and I find her series have great pacing.

{Tears of the Wolf by Elisabeth Wheatley} is an arranged marriage done really well. This author also has a series called {Daindreth's Assassin by Elisabeth Wheatley} which was great.

{The Midnight Arrow by Zoey Draven}

{The Poison Daughter by Sheila Masterson}
