Top Twelve Tortured Romances

This week's Top Ten Tuesday from That Artsy Reader Girl is a Love Freebie in honour of Valentine's Day tomorrow, so I decided to do a bit of a bummer spin on it for kicks. I am a huge sucker for angsty and tortured romances, so that's my choice for today. Although most of these are from books, I threw in a few that I have only watched the shows of.
