While it's true that romance novels are predominantly penned by women, male authors do exist in the romance stacks. Further difficulty with tracking down romance novels written by men occurs because authors use pseudonyms or abbreviated versions of their given name. The following romance round-up includes books in the romance section that are written by male-identified authors. Some of the names might come as surprise!
