Warrior / Soldier romance books

She fights her own battles — and woe to anyone who mistakes her for a damsel.

The warrior heroine is forged for combat. A soldier, a fighter, a sword-wielding defender, she's physically formidable and mentally tough, shaped by discipline and the weight of what she's faced. The fantasy is a heroine who needs no protecting — who's as likely to save the hero as be saved — and a love between equals who can stand back to back in a fight.

She's a star of fantasy, sci-fi, and military romance, full of battles, high stakes, and hard-won honor. She overlaps with the strong, soldier/marine, and chosen-one types, and the romance often runs on mutual respect, the rare vulnerability she allows only her partner, and a hero secure enough to love a woman who could best him. The heat ranges widely.

For readers who love strength, action, and a heroine who fights her own battles, the warrior is exhilarating.
