That's because romance isn't written with a template in mind.
They might not be, but I heard that there were rules like a hero and heroine had to meet by the third chapter in college to qualify. And a whole shitload of other rules, which can make them seem formulaic if true.
I'm not sure Tia's Folly would be classified as romance so much as having romantic threads. There are a lot of books in chick lit and literature that have heavy romantic themes - without being romance.
Which is okay. Sometimes I like those more than just flat out romances.
Wow. That mother thing is creepy in Friday the 13th two. I'm... totally not distracted by my former crush.
