Don't read crappy romance novels and you won't come across characters like this.

It doesn't look like romance. It looks like a thriller. If it was romance, she'd be speaking in a Irish dialect and desperately pulling her wounded highland lover from the flaming wreckage of Castle Kilkarney as her diabolical maternal half-uncle wrought ruin and despair on their home. Plus, she'd only be there because she was looking for the bastard who murdered her father and fare for the voyage would exceed her means (penniless noble, yo). My sister had tons of these things lying around the house. The heroines in them did shit.

Nah, there's contemporary romance as well as historical. This snippet would fit into those.

I just mean that female characters in romance novels are more take charge than people think.

I want that book.

But agreed, the worst female characters who stand around and have girlish hysterics are not to be found in romances. They're to be found in horror, thriller, detective and war novels. Unsurprisingly, as these are more likely to be marketed to men.

Agreed.
