(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 don’t think there is one perfect romance book that everyone will enjoy. People are too diverse and like too many different things for one book to please everyone.

    Of course we can all relate to a character who is a different gender/class/ethnicity/species. But for something as… specific as romance it helps readers to relate more closely to the characters and story being told.

    So what makes a romance book great has 8 billion different answers 😊
