I have nothing against romance if it feels romantic and real. Romance is a thilling thing in real life and it usually feels like a loss of control and is almost always a situation that could very easily end up badly.

Unfortunately the word "romance" has most recently been used to describe forced sentimentality and schmaltz. In most contemporary romance you know the couple will get together before you even buy your ticket.
