I've come to really enjoy romance as a genre as I've gotten older. Even the tired silly tropes and cliches to the more contemporary ones that are more inclusive (across the board -- race, ethnicity, gender, religion, etc. Etc.), and (at least the ones I've been reading) has all of the characters (MC & love interest) working on themselves. Like half of the issue between the two getting together often times is "I need to work on myself before we get too involved but also I like you and I feel like I'm able to be closer to my best self around you please don't leave forever". And that's on both ends. Neither character is perfect. And the smut is top grade !

That said, I totally get not wanting that to be the main plot. I really enjoy a romance subplot when handled well in a book that's primarily action/mystery/sci Fi/fantasy/etc. If it's shoehorned in it's better just left out. I also enjoy when my favorite side characters in these books get their romance (even if the MC doesn't).
