I think one of the reasons people read romance novels is because you have both familiarity but also surprise. It's why we read/watch adaptations. We pretty much know how its going to end up, right? But the joy is in seeing how we get there this time. And that familiarity is a comfort.

I don't read only romance novels, all day, all the time. I read all sorts of other things. But I will read a Nora Roberts novel because I know her men will be interesting and the situation will be clever. Yeah, there is going to be a sort of pretentious/snotty girl with a heart of gold. And there will be the sweet, nurturing girl who needs a bit of extra protecting, etc. But she goes from a family of Ukranian immigrants in New York to a coven on a small New England island. Its fun in a way that allows me to relax and just enjoy.
