Hi,
One of our patrons is looking for "romances where the boyfriend or husband
dies at the end." So, in other words, boy meets girl, boy wins girl, boy
dies. If anyone can actually come up with any, I would gladly compile the
list.
Thanks,

Oy. These are not romances (romance usually means the happy couple ends up
alive and together at the end) - they are romantic.
Having said that, I can suggest the following:
Elswyth Thane. Tryst. Girl falls in love with a ghost. The "happy ending"
comes when she's killed and they can be together.
The Bridges of Madison County. Man has affair with married woman. She dies.
The English Patient. Man and woman have affair. Her husband finds out,
crashes plane, causes her death. The lover doesn't end up much better.
Out of Africa. Man and woman have affair. He is killed in a plane crash.

If I remember correctly "A Moment in Time" by Bertrice Small ends with the
hero dying. Reincarnation plays a fairly large role in the story so the
reader is left with the understanding that the hero and heroine had been
together in the past and would be again in the future; it is just this
life that was cut short.

I cried buckets over that book! I would also cite one of Anne McCaffrey's
"ship who sang" stories, where the "brawn" dies. I don't know which story it
was. (Dennis will know). There's also Jonathan Fast's THE BEAST - his
version of the Beauty and the Beast. He killed off the beast!

I'm glad to see I am not the only one on the list that read this book. I have read it about three times and I love it! It is one that I recommend to YAs, also.
