If you’re a fan of romantic movies, you’ve for sure watched The Bodyguard (1992) starring powerhouses Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner. I bet you fell in love with the bodyguard trope from that point forward! It’s such a good trope! The way one person’s whole mission and goal is to protect you so you don’t get hurt? That they’ll always be there when you need them the most? It can't be beaten!
The bodyguard trope has high-stakes situations, forbidden love, intense scenes where the bodyguard’s emotions are running wild when the main character gets hurt, etc. There are a few books in this list that also have a little bit of fake dating because they obviously don’t want the world to know they have a bodyguard, so of course, they are going to pretend their new bodyguard is their partner *swoons*
We don’t get a lot of romance books with heroines who are bodyguards! ButThe Bodyguard is going to easily enchant you with the story and the characters in the pages of the book. It’s the story of Hannah who just recently became the bodyguard hired to protect actor Jack Stapleton from a stalker.
But when his mother gets sick and forces him to return to his family’s Texas ranch, he doesn’t want them to know about the stalker thing. Or his new bodyguard. And so Hannah finds herself pretending to be Jack’s girlfriend as a cover!
Birdie and Liam haven’t seen each other in years. Once upon a time, they were the best of friends. Until Birdie confessed her crush to him. Since that moment, Birdie has become a global sensation; a famous rockstar that tours around the world. And Liam has become a distant memory to her… Until she starts receiving mysterious letters that happen to be a little bit terrifying.
Kayla's people tell her to hire a bodyguard as soon as possible, but her new bodyguard who walks through her doors is Liam himself and they’re both not happy about that. It’s time though, for questions to be answered and pasts to be left behind.
After experiencing a car crash when a paparazzi was trying to take pictures of her, Lydia has become quite a hermit. She basically doesn’t come out of her parents’ house nowadays.
Her parents are worried for her, so they decide to hire a bodyguard to give her a little push onto the outside world. They never thought the grumpy bodyguard would fall for the sunshine influencer.
This book is inspired by Greek mythology, specifically Aphrodite and Hephaestus. It follows Aphrodite who after an attempt on her life gets assigned a bodyguard. In this case, her new broody bodyguard is none other than Hephaestus, the man she despises.
Truth be told, they both hate each other, so this is definitely not an ideal situation. But the proximity has created a simmering attraction between them and they start to realize that they make more sense together rather than apart.
Twisted Games is a royal romance between a princess and her bodyguard. Stoic and broody, Rhys doesn’t break the rules. He has never been tempted to do it… until her, of course. Bridget is everything he wishes for but everything he denies himself having.
He knows nothing good will come out of it. Or maybe he tries to believe that because he knows that he is meant for her. Day by day, Bridget manages to break his defenses and slowly climb into his heart. This forbidden fantasy will have you on the edge of your seat with all the yearning and pining!

Remember when I mentioned in my previous post how a groveling scene can totally make or break a romance book? Well, let's dive into that topic a bit more, shall we? Now, I know there's been some talk and debate about those dramatic third-act breakup scenes, but guess what? I'm a huge fan of them, especially in romance books! Why, you ask? Well, here's the scoop: I absolutely love it when the groveling happens after the breakup. It's that magical moment when the person who messed up finally realizes they can't live without their other half and goes all out to win them back. Talk about fireworks!

Look, sometimes you crave a fantasy book. You want action-packed scenes, high-stakes, fights, magic systems, and even talking animals. You want epic adventures that make the characters grow closer. But if you’re like me, you also want to read a romance book. How someone falls in love and finds their other half. How there are small moments between characters, like holding their hand and kissing their forehead, that make you fall madly in love with the book immediately. But what if you crave both of them at the same time? The good thing is that fantasy romance books exist; a little bit of one and a little bit of the other mixed together in one unique and beautiful book.
