Looking for book recommendations with a very specific romance trope :) > Likes and Comments

Does anyone happen to have any recommendations of tomances where one person is a dick at first but makes themselves better for the other person they're in love with (I'm not talking like the first person has like murdered people or anything just like they're an arrogant knob, that kinda thing). I do not know why my brain has decided I must read this type of book asap but here we are.

Thank you! ♡

the romance is only part of the tale. But he does change from an angry difficult alien dude to someone who steps up when needed.
It's not that he changes from a bad person to good, but she teaches him that he's being a snob by making assumptions about her and her neighbours.
he's the general known for his ruthlessness but when he falls in love he decides to break from his masters and lead his soldiers to a new life.
he's a slaver who falls in love with his cargo.

Coveted by the Bear - one of my all time favourite reads. The downtrodden h is shunned/bullied by the town. The H included, but he was kind a couple of times. Then he gets attacked, she helps him and their relationship changes. It's short, ugly and very, very sweet.

oh i loved 'coveted by the bear'.!

Do you like reverse harem? If so then you can try Wicked Gods by Michelle Hercules. This fits exactly in this trope. But it is a series and ends with a cliffhanger.
Wicked Gods

:P It isn't urban fantasy, but you seem to be describing Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice
