I'm beginning to wonder what sort of magic is used by romance novel writers. The stories are *so* formulatic, and yet they're pretty fun to read and do such a great business. There's got to be more to it than wish-fulfillment and escapism because you *know* that it's going to be a happy ending, so that takes away the tension of will-they-won't-they and the inevitable conclusion and pay-off.
