(Sorry for bad English, i try to improve it)

How I noticed many love stories are writing only for specific audience, but what is worse only liked by this audience(like lgtq romatic books are commonly for lgbt people and stories about vampires for women and old france/byronic stories for women too).

So, I’m interested what do romantic book universal and good in all ways and not only for one kind of people. Surely, something that do any book good and universal, but something specific must be here too. What do you think this is?

+ I want to add, that I speak about almost purely romance books(“Modame Bovari” is surely very good bok and have many about love, but this book isn’t about love at all)

    I like quite a few different flavours of romance. Vampire, shifter, cowboys, military, Motorcycle Club, billionaire, historical, etc. But the one thing I enjoy in all my books is humour.

    I’m not talking about slapstick comedy but more a bit of banter or judicious sarcasm within the dialogue. The sort of thing where, if a plot line is getting quite dark, the author uses humour to lighten the mood (even if it’s black humour).
