What are common writing tropes in dark romance? What do readers expect from a dark romance?

For those of you who don’t know what “dark romance” is, here is a list of examples https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/dark-romance

A famous book I can think of closest to the genre would be Fifty Shades of Grey (if you take out most of the sex scenes).

Heather Knight covers it here briefly.

It lists some of the basic fundamentals of dark romance.

And. . . .

The latter could be applied to nearly any genre, I figure.
