The power dynamics play a big role too. In these novels, the beast - like character might have more power, be it social, physical or otherwise. This can create situations where the virgin character is at a disadvantage, leading to heartbreak when expectations and power imbalances collide. For example, the beast might make decisions without considering the virgin's feelings fully, causing her pain.
Another theme is the transformation. Often, the beast - like character may have a hidden soft side or be on a journey of self - improvement. The virgin may be the catalyst for this change. However, along the way, misunderstandings and the character's past can lead to heartbreak. It's like they are two magnets with different poles, attracted yet also causing pain to each other during the process of coming together.
I'm not sure of specific authors who only write novels exactly with this title, but many romance authors touch on similar themes.

Her historical romances sometimes have elements where an initially rough male character is paired with a more innocent female.

Their relationship develops gradually, starting from misunderstandings and evolving into deep love. Another one could be 'A Walk to Remember' by Nicholas Sparks.

One that comes to mind is 'A Highland Lord's Virgin Bride'. Virgin bride romance novels typically play on the idea of a young, inexperienced woman entering into a marriage.

It's a story full of historical detail and romantic tension.

The fact that they both have a certain naivete in the beginning regarding love and relationships adds to the charm of their story.
One popular beast romance novel is 'Beauty and the Beast' which has been adapted into various forms. It tells the story of a young woman falling in love with a cursed beast. Another could be 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' which has elements of a human - fae relationship that could be considered in the realm of beast - like romance as the fae have some inhuman characteristics.

Well, 'Gone with the Wind' by Margaret Mitchell can be considered. Scarlett's love for Ashley and Rhett's love for Scarlett are full of heartbreak. Scarlett's unrequited love for Ashley throughout much of the story and Rhett finally giving up on Scarlett at the end is truly sad. Then there's 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte. Jane's love for Rochester is tested when she discovers his dark secret. She leaves him, which is a heart - wrenching moment for both of them. Also, 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte is a classic heartbreak romance. The passionate and destructive love between Heathcliff and Catherine is filled with pain and longing.
