------------------------------------------------------------------------Just off the top of my head:
\xA0
John Green\x92s Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of Katherines aren\x92t what I\x92d call \x93straight romances\x94 but they have romance in them, written from male\x92s point of view (both for older teens).
Not sure I\x92d call 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher a romance but it is from the boy\x92s point of view but he does have a crush & doesn\x92t get the girl in the end (not to give anything away here!) (also for older teens).
\xA0
It\x92s been a long time since I read it but I think Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl is from a male\x92s point of view & it\x92s part romance, part paranormal fantasy (and the cover\x92s not too girly). The sequel, Beautiful Darkness, is out in October.

Hello,\xA0 everyone.\xA0 Have you had any\xA0requests for Romance Novels from Tween/Teen Guys?\xA0 For example...
\xA01.\xA0\xA0\xA0\xA0\xA0\xA0 Books where the characters go through some drama and fall in love, but end up not together at the end.
2.\xA0\xA0\xA0\xA0\xA0\xA0 Romance novels written in a male voice \x96 they want the romance from a man\x92s perspective/male main character.
\xA0
Guys are reading the Twilight Saga.\xA0 Do you know of any other authors or series?
\xA0
Thanks,
