My theory is: I like romance. It's good and I enjoying reading it. But - and I think this is probably basically the case for most people - the kinds of romance that I like, that appeal to me, are hyper-specific. There are a lot of things that fundamentally don't work for me. And not just in the sense of big, splashy, romance-genre categories or tropes, but hyper-specific in terms of feeling and vibe and character and dialogue.

So finding a romance in the romance genre that works for me is extremely difficult, because all books appear alike and it's almost impossible to tell whether a book will work for me or not without reading it. But if a writer is telling a story - whether it's smut or comedy or action - that I already like and whose aesthetic I appreciate, the chances are a lot higher that I will also enjoy their interpretation of romance.

Yep, this. I'll read anything by T. Kingfisher/Ursula Vernon, including her romances, but there are other authors who write fantasy with romance plots that you'd have to pay me to read.
