I'm not familiar with this series, but I'm with you. I just recently read a book where the one character who would theoretically be an appropriate love interest for the main character, there seemed to be no romantic interest from either end, and I was impressed. I thought wow, it's rare that you see a book with a female protagonist and they don't feel the need to give her a love interest. But nope, there had to be a couple random paragraphs tacked onto the end that she ended up with him (even though neither of them seemed into each other up until that point, but he was described as "shy" so I guess that was supposed to be an explanation for why their earlier scenes were the way they were). It was just lame.

The actors were fine, it was just the screenplay that let them down. I'd watch a series now dealing with Hornblower as frigate captain (and Bush as his first lieutenant, OMG.)

Have a care if you ever re-watch what we've got, though. I was so annoyed by the plot-holes that I wrote my own Age of Sail novel. It took five years.

SA Oops, misfire. This should be a reply to secret 6.

Oh, I know the feeling - when you're reading something and you're like, "Obviously these people aren't going to end up at the end because they're just not good for each other and the text is very clear about that! How nice, to see a story where an unrelated young man and young woman spend time together and do not end up in a romantic entanglement not because either of them is gay or secretly the villain (or both), but because they are not compatible!"
And then they end up in a relationship anyway, because the author has apparently not read their own book.

I've only read the first book so far and I really enjoyed it. I really hope they don't end up together. I usually am all about friendship romances. But these two really do work better as just friends for me.

I only just read the first one and this is the first thing I've read in a while that I don't mind the triangle. Heart-of-hearts though I still think leaving everybody hanging is the best move politically and romantically for now. She needs to go all Queen Elizabeth on everybody.

I've read both books and at this point... I'm not sure about what romances in which direction. Though I definitely agree that the author seems to ship them. (Not sure that means MUCH for future books, it could just be a subtle wish expressed for fanfiction, depending on a few things.)
