The frustrating thing about talking about romance novels is that, for anyone criticism you can make about romance novels, 2 things will happen:

1) romance fans will tell you that you're totally wrong and there's tons of romance novels that are great and aren't like whatever you said

2) any romance novels they recommend will be completely like whatever you said

Anyway, fwiw, I agree with you, OP. I'd love to be into romance novels but they're just totally unappealing as actually written.

This is so true.

This applies to every genre.

I LOLed, and I have friends who are romance writers. It's sort of a hazard of the genre, really. A way to sort of get round it is to NOT go overboard on emphasizing what a special snowflake the heroine is. In other words, don't try so hard to sell her as an amazing paragon of femininity or something.
