Bully Romance is a subgenre that I enjoy. In a bully romance the hero, or heroes if it is a reverse harem, bully the heroine. Depending on the book the bullying can be pretty mild, to very dark, so just make sure you check for trigger warnings before you pick any up. Though this isn’t for everyone, I love dark romance and bully romance books have all of the elements I particularly love. There is usually a tortured hero (or three), a tragic backstory, intrigue, and of course, a heroine that ends up bringing the hero or heroes to their knees! There are a mix of reverse harem listed below, and I have made sure to note which books are RH and which are not.

Of course, Madison Kate made this list! This series is one of my all-time favorites. This is pretty light bully romance, honestly. The boys are kind of dicks, but I have certainly read much worse.

Pretty Little Savage is the first in the Sick Boys series, and if you are looking for a heroine that can hold her own, look no further than Avalon. I will admit that early on, her character sort of annoyed me but give it time. Dean and his boys were great, and I really enjoyed this series!

I have not stopped thinking about Lords of Pain since I read the book last month. The characters were amazing, and the more I think about it, the more I like it. I am so excited for the next book in this series! Read the trigger warnings before picking this one up.

The Havoc Boys is a high school bully series that is action-packed and full of mystery. I loved all the backstories and how all of the guys were connected to Bernadette.
Truly was an amazing bully romance. I loved Noah so much. Yes, he’s an ass but there is so much more to him! This is another one to read the trigger warnings before picking this one up.
