Listopia > Baddass Main Character with Romance

My favorite variety of book is the kind with fast-paced humor, budding romance, and a main character who can kick butt like nobody's business. However, I find it difficult to discover books with this perfect concoction. So I come to you, my fellow book lovers, to ask for your help and in doing so hope that others will find this list useful too.

I have one request: please only put the first book in a series.
