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

Subject: Romance Novels for
Teenage Guys
Hello, everyone. Have you had any requests
for Romance Novels from Tween/Teen Guys? For example...
1. Books
where the characters go through some drama and fall in love, but end up not
together at the end.
2. Romance
novels written in a male voice – they want the romance from a man’s
perspective/male main character.
Guys are
reading the Twilight Saga. Do you know of any other authors or series?
Thanks,
Tricia Curran
