Can you recommend some villain hero romance novels?

Sure. 'The Count of Monte Cristo' is a great one. The protagonist Edmond Dantes is wrongly imprisoned and becomes vengeful at first, acting like a villain in the eyes of his enemies. But as the story unfolds, he uses his new - found knowledge and power to right the wrongs done to him and becomes a hero in the end.

One great 'villain turned hero' novel is 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West'. It tells the story of Elphaba, who was originally seen as a villain in 'The Wizard of Oz' but in this novel, her complex backstory is revealed, showing how she could be considered a hero in her own right.

In villain hero romance novels, there is often a lot of internal conflict. The hero might have a dark past or actions that could be considered villainous at first glance. For example, he might have been involved in illegal activities but for a good cause. The romance part usually involves the heroine seeing past this and falling in love with the complex person behind the actions.

Sure. 'The Name of the Rose' by Umberto Eco can be considered in a way. It has a hero in the form of William of Baskerville, and there are elements of a sort of romantic mystery within the medieval Italian setting. Also, 'My Brilliant Friend' by Elena Ferrante has the story of two female friends where there are elements of love and the male characters can be seen as heroes in some situations within the context of Naples, Italy.

'Wuthering Heights' is also well - known. Heathcliff is a complex and often cruel hero figure, and his relationship with Catherine Earnshaw is a tempestuous and tragic love story that spans generations and is full of passion and revenge.

Sure. 'Twilight' can be considered in a way. Edward Cullen is a mysterious hero. He's a vampire, which is a big secret at first. His abilities and his past make him mysterious, and his relationship with Bella is a classic romance. Also, 'The Phantom of the Opera' has a very mysterious hero. The Phantom is a figure full of mystery, and his love for Christine is a tragic and romantic tale.

Sure. 'The Hating Game' is a great one. The male lead is somewhat of a loner at first, and the relationship between the two main characters is full of romantic tension.

Sure. 'The Rosie Project' is a great one. The male lead is a bit of a nerd hero. He has a very logical and scientific approach to life, but when he embarks on his 'wife project', he finds unexpected romance. Another is 'Fangirl' where the main character, Cath, is a fangirl (a bit of a nerd in the world of fanfiction) and she experiences a sweet romance in college.

One such novel could be 'Me Before You' where the male lead is paralyzed. It beautifully portrays the relationship that develops between the two main characters, with themes of love, self - discovery, and the challenges they face together.

Sure. 'The Hating Game' could be considered in this category. It has a male lead who is somewhat of a silent type in his own way, and the romance between the two characters is really engaging.
