I don't read that many romance novels, but my favorite is Red White & Royal Blue 😌. I can't promise it avoids allll of the pitfalls you mentioned but I do love it. Some very lovely political escapism when you need it 😶
Great read Eva. Was unaware of Dame Jilly until we stumbled across the TV adaptation of Rivals on Hulu earlier this year. I thought while watching it how fun the book must be (and will get around to reading it) My mother is and has always been a voracious romance reader (Nora Roberts is her fave, I believe). Glad to see the genre getting some love (pun intended!)
Thanks so much, Jay!! I definitely want to read and watch Rivals, which looks so fun. These books are bricks though!! It took forever to get through Riders.
I still think there's a lot to mine about why romance novels are so popular-- I don't feel like I got to the bottom of it at all. To be further explored, I suppose!

I loved that one too! Thank you for the reminder.
