Gather around ladies, today we are discussing the hero who is a staple in most romance novels. He is broody and moody, he hates everyone, and sometimes, he is very dark. But deep, deep inside, he is all heart. He is protective of the ones he loves and is never afraid to show it, and the very few people who understand him, adore him for everything he is. As you must have guessed by now (I’m not acknowledging the heading above), I’m talking about the Controlling/ Possessive heroes of the genre. Don’t even try to act all coy, I know you love the novels featuring these (anti) heroes just as much as I do, even though they make you question your mental well-being at times. But you know what, we love murder mysteries too! So, let’s not even go there and own the huge crushes we have on these fictional characters we might never want to see in real life.
In that spirit, I want to introduce you to a few of my crushes, because I’m helpful like that. Read on to find out my most favorite Controlling/ Possessive Men Romance novels and be prepared to meet your next problematic book boyfriend.
