Listopia > dark princes

Really every girl wants her own dark prince and this is my compiled list of books whose male characters are more of the misunderstood leads, the black sheep who eventually turn out not to be that bad. At the end of these books we end up liking if not loving these characters and most at times wish they end up with the heroines
