The Saltwater Curse by Avina St. Graves ARC REVIEW
โMy mate,โ he rumbles. โMy perfect mate.โ
Touch Her and Die is an iconic, protective romance trope where the love interest (usually the MMC) has one unshakable rule: no one messes with herโor else. ๐คโค๏ธโ๐ฅ
๐ก๏ธ Fierce protectivenessโhe might be cold, dangerous, or morally gray, but when it comes to her, heโs feral
๐ข Often includes a threat, glare, or fight scene when someone hurts or flirts with her
๐ฅ Amplifies the possessive tension and emotional intensity
๐ณ Usually paired with a softness only she getsโheโs scary to everyone else but gentle with her
๐ Popular in dark romance, mafia, alpha male, or fated mates stories
Itโs the ultimate โIโd burn the world for herโ energyโand readers eat it up. ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ฅ
