How about the romance that emerges from a guy at a con asking a girl if he can touch her breasts, and her saying NO YOU ASSHOLE GO AWAY, and him learning something from it? I'd read that one. Well, if it wasn't boring.
You and me both.
I agree with your caveat about romance and genre, too. Doris Egan's Ivory series-of-three is probably more grounded in romantic tropes than I usually think about, but because the protagonist spends all three books dealing with other problems too, I find them comforting when I need fluffy rereads. Does that make any sense?
Agree about Mark and Kareen, though what I want is to see everybody ten years on; I'd like Miles and Ekaterin to work too.
Oh, Miles at 40 would be awesome. Possibly a little terrifying, but awesome. And still totally in love. :-)
