You could add them yourself, as long as the books fits the theme of the list.

You could add them yourself, as long as th..."
Ok, I will but I have a question about that: is it accepatble to add books that fit the theme but don't fit the additional description since there's no HEA?

Villain as romantic love interests
Genre novels where in the end the self-acknowledged villain/villainess gets the affections of the non-oblivious heroine/hero.
The mention of the 'end' implies a HEA so I wouldn't add no HEA novels in there or at least novels where the 'villain' doesn't end with the woman at some point in the series. For instance, Darkfever doesn't have a HEA per se, but we all know who she ends up with in the last book.
