Hahah! you're completely right about that! I'm just too lazy right now to read the summary for each but I'll probably end up reading them anyway, I can't never have enough possesive men ♥ the darker the better...
I Love dominant/possessive/jealous/controlling heroes and I've read numerous plots with such characters but this list is AWESOME. I've hardly read many books on this list and I'm surprised. Can't wait to read all these books :D

why do women seem to think that jealousy and possessiveness is a sign that the guy really loves you? It's not. It's a sign that he is actually insecure, doesn't respect boundaries and only respects his own needs. It's not romantic, and possessive/controlling shouldn't be in the same sentence as sexy. Because it's anything BUT sexy.

I am all for, believe me, passionate guys who love the hell out of you. I love love love passion, in a healthy way. But there's a difference between assertive and controlling. Healthy and unhealthy.
I think that there are non controlling and scary ways to show someone you really value and love them. And if a guy really respects and wants me, he would respect my right to choose. Guys who threaten you, tell you they're gonna kill themselves if you leave them or something like that are just mentally unstable. I find it hard to see how it's romantic.
There's certainly a time and place to be all "rawr take me here and now", and that's the bedroom, with a consenting partner.

but yeah for the better of it i do agree with what you are saying and the difference and with most of the books i have read off the list, i have to say most are just the alpha males, not the suicidal or homicidal type in that type of way, unless someone messes with their woman... honestily if they are suicidal or abusive i dont really consider them alpha
Jamie *Vamp Lover* wrote: "Sasha wrote: "Jamie *Vamp Lover* wrote: "Sasha wrote: "why do women seem to think that jealousy and possessiveness is a sign that the guy really loves you? It's not. It's a sign that he is actual..."I guess it depends on the book. I haven't read every single one of the list, obviously. But novels like 50 shades of grey for example definitely feature an unhealthy dynamic that's presented as sexy and romantic, when really in real life a guy like that would just come off as a total jerk. Unless of course being rich and hot justifies having a terrible personality.
After reading 50 Shades, I had yet to find another book or series that was just as intense until I started reading the Up In The Air trilogy. I have not met another man as dominant and loving as Christian until James Cavendish entered my life. Now I am almost torn between which one would be better. The sex scenes are hot, they do it in many places on a plane and also on horseback. It's amazing and I love it!

Your right he was dominated in a very good way
Jeanne wrote: "Gideon Cross from Bared to you and Christian Grey from fifty shades of grey. OMG. <3"I love me some Christian Grey and Gideon Cross. However there is another male character out there that I loved, which hasn't been mentioned. James Cavendish from the Up In The Air trilogy. He was lovely. There was another series that was supposed to fit along those same lines, but I fell for a supporting character than the main male lead. The After Dark trilogy. Didn't care too much for it, but Andrei in those books is who I would choose rather than Dominic, the one the author chose. If you ever read those books you would understand why I choose who I choose. ;)

Well I have a brand new dominant man, older books so many of you may know him, BUT MEOW....Jericho Barrons from the Fever series, HOLY MEOW....the things he says and does...had me feverish while reading them, I literally read the first 5 books in like 4 days.
Hi guys!! I've just added my own book to this list because I do indeed believe Caleb Stone is controlling, so sexy and possessive of Francesca Radley. Check it out! It's called 'From Hate' by Lily Simon.Thanks :)
I wonder how many controlling guys people who go gaga over the books in this list have actually been with? Escapist fantasy as fine, just recognize that being with a controlling partner rarely makes for a health relationship in real life.

I love this list! I totally rely on what I'm going to read next based on this and they've been perfect for me so far! :)
I can't believe that a list called CONTROLLING/POSESSIVE men exists and is to top it all so popular. :/
