10 of My Favourite, Most Messed Up Dark Romance Books (Proceed With Caution)

The dark romance books in this post are some of my favourite dark romance books in this world. And I would love to share them with you.

Most of them are pretty dark, though. So, do not read them without checking the trigger warnings.

1. Code of Silence by Shantel Tessier

You are just a girl trying to get over your biggest heartbreak.

But then the one who broke your heart, not only comes back, but also forces you to marry him.

This is the first book in the Dark Kingdom series by Shantel Tessier. I just listed the first book, but to be honest, the whole series should be here.

2. Insatiable by Leigh Rivers

In this book, you are the heartbreaker. You broke his heart and for years, without your knowing, he watched you and killed anyone who dared to touch you.

But he still hates you.

Yet the pull between the two of you is strong beyond measure and might even be stronger than his intense hatred for you.

3. The Ritual by Shantel Tessier

You grew up in the restrictive world of the LORDS, but then he gives you a chance at freedom. Or so you thought.

Soon you realise you are stuck and the only way out is death.

This is the first book in a series of amazing books. Just book #2 (The Sinner) did not impress me that much, but tbh I think that it is more a situation of personal taste.

4. Beautiful Venom by Rina Kent

You’re seeking revenge. But in order to actually get your revenge you need to get to the head of the society that shattered your world you need to get in.

And the best way to get in?

Through the weakest link.

The only green flag in a nest of vipers.

Kane Davenport.

But is he really the weakest link. Or, is he hiding his darkness behind a veil of charisma.

5. Kiss the Villain by Rina Kent

You are the poster boy of perfection. Or that is what the world sees. Underneath it all lies a darkness few can comprehend.

After a night of bad decisions, caught by a villain in the act, you decide to move on. But moving on only goes as far as your criminal law classroom where it turns out that your professor is the villain guarding the secret of your indiscretions.

However, he is not only your criminal law professor, he is also a criminal. But outing him, will out you. So… you make him taste his own medicine leading to a clash of titans.

6. Bad Bishop by LJ Shen

When Lila’s innocence is stolen from her whilst gifting her with an unwanted pregnancy, her dad gives her to the highest bidder.

The winner?

Psychopath, Tiernan Callaghan.

While he sees her as his pawn to use for his own gain, he doesn’t realise that in this game of chess the underdog always wins.

7. If You Dare by Harmony West

It was supposed to be an innocent dare. You didn’t want your best friend to get hurt, never mind die.

Now her brother hates you and is intent on making your life hell together with his teammates.

After this book, there are three more standalones in the series and the rest of them are just as worthy of a mention here.

8. Captivate Me by Harmony West

Your best friend is missing and in your search for her you fall for her boyfriend. But you cannot betray her like that, can you?

Meanwhile, said friend wakes up in a basement with a scary and mysterious guy watching her. Yet, soon she starts falling for him and there is nothing she can do about that.

9. Does it Hurt? by HD Carlton
