5 Dark Romances for Adventurous Readers

5 Dark Romances for Adventurous Readers

The word “romance novel” immediately brings up images of floating hearts and happy endings, but there’s a subgenre of romance that challenges the way readers think about romances. How much can a hero be redeemed if he’s done some truly awful things? What crosses the line into taboo? Twisted and gritty, these dark romances might be tough to get through, but they’re stories you’ll never forget. These books aren’t for the faint of heart and there should be trigger warnings for pretty much all of them.
