The 'Beautiful Disaster' series can also be considered. The relationship in it is tumultuous and filled with a lot of drama. There are issues like jealousy and possessiveness that are not exactly healthy relationship traits, yet it has been popular among readers who like intense and passionate love stories.
Another example might be 'Twilight'. While it has a huge fan base, some view it as a 'bad' romance in the sense that the relationship between Bella and Edward is rather obsessive. Bella often seems to lose her own identity in the relationship, but it still has elements that make it a page - turner for many.
Some of the best bad guys romance novels include 'Beautiful Bastard' by Christina Lauren. The male character is initially quite the jerk in the workplace but there's a sizzling romance that develops. 'The Deal' by Elle Kennedy is also a good one. The hockey player hero has that edgy, bad - boy persona which adds spice to the love story. 'Knight' by Kristen Ashley is another. The biker hero is rough around the edges but the love story is really engaging.
One of the best is 'Twilight' where Edward Cullen has that 'bad boy' allure with his vampire nature yet a deep love for Bella. Another great one is 'The Fault in Our Stars' which has Augustus Waters who is a bit of a rebel in his own way. And 'Pride and Prejudice' can also be considered as Mr. Darcy has that brooding and initially aloof 'bad boy' type personality at first.
One of the best bad boy romance novels is 'Twilight' by Stephenie Meyer. Edward Cullen can be seen as a 'bad boy' in a sense, with his dark and mysterious nature. He's a vampire which gives him an edge. Another great one is 'The Fault in Our Stars' by John Green. Gus, the male lead, has a bit of a rebellious streak and their love story is both heart - breaking and heart - warming. And 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen also fits. Mr. Darcy is initially perceived as proud and aloof, a kind of 'bad boy' image, but his love for Elizabeth is deep and passionate.
The 'Sinners on Tour' series by Olivia Cunning has characters that fit this description. The guys in the band are bad boys with tattoos, and there are some steamy romances in the series. It's a great read if you like the rock star and tattooed bad boy combination in romance novels.
One great one is 'Ride Steady' by Kristen Ashley. It has a tough biker hero and a strong heroine, and their relationship development is really engaging.
Yes. 'Obsidian' by Jennifer L. Armentrout is a great bad - boy romance novel. Daemon Black is an alien with a hot - tempered and protective nature which is very much in the bad - boy mold. 'The Darkest Minds' has Liam Stewart who is part of a group of kids with special powers and his relationship with Ruby is a journey of love and survival where he has that self - assured, sometimes rule - breaking 'bad boy' quality. 'Delirium' by Lauren Oliver also has a bit of a bad - boy - like love interest in Alex, who helps the main character, Lena, break free from the strict society they live in.
One of the best 'bad ass' novels is 'The Outsiders' by S. E. Hinton. It's a coming - of - age story about rival gangs, Ponyboy and his greaser friends. They are tough and have to deal with a lot of hardships in their lives. Another is 'Fight Club' by Chuck Palahniuk. It has a very edgy and rebellious protagonist who challenges the norms of society in a rather extreme way. And 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' by Stieg Larsson also fits. Lisbeth Salander is a 'bad ass' female character who is highly intelligent and unafraid to take on powerful and corrupt individuals.
I don't think so. Romance novels can have various benefits. They can provide an escape, help people understand relationships better, and offer hope and inspiration. Not all of them are bad by any means.
One characteristic is the over - the - top and cheesy dialogue. For example, the characters might say things like 'Your eyes are like the stars that guide my lonely heart' in a really corny way. Another is the completely unrealistic plotlines. Maybe the hero saves the heroine from a ridiculously improbable situation like being chased by a herd of stampeding unicorns. Also, the characters can be very one - dimensional, just being the 'perfect' hero or the 'damsel in distress' without any real depth or complexity.
One popular 'bad girl romance novel' could be 'Fifty Shades of Grey' series. The female lead, Anastasia Steele, has a certain 'bad girl' element in her as she steps into an unconventional relationship. Another might be 'Gone Girl', where Amy Dunne is a complex character with a 'bad girl' side in the way she manipulates situations in her relationship.
