Like everyone else who read Romeo and Juliet<\/em> in middle school, I know love stories can get gritty. I have a medically concerning soft spot for wholesome romance novels, but I can’t turn down a dreadful ballad of passions gone wrong (or right, depending on who you ask) either.<\/p> Dark romance stories take our emotions and play with them like putty, bending and beating them until all we can do is beg their star-crossed leads to make out, draw blood, or somehow do both at the same time. So let’s break the sentimental Play-Doh and sink our teeth into the top ten darkest romance books ever penned.<\/p> My time on Archive of Our Own has taught me that people have very different definitions of “dark and twisted romance.” Typical common denominators include morally grey protagonists with dubious but consistent codes of ethics and a willingness to explore exceptionally taboo subjects, such as the subversion of consent, one-sided obsession, and the potential for abuse lurking within all relationships. <\/p> Every book on this list features these elements to some capacity, and I\u2019ve ordered them based on how well each uses these tropes to weave the tale of lust at their shadowed, sweaty centers.<\/p> Different strokes for different folks<\/h2><\/iframe>
