Yeah, I love the happy ending guarantee! And yet it's one of the reasons the romance genre is so looked down upon. I don't get it. Sometimes having your literature telling you that you can believe things will turn out okay is so important.
Alisha Rai, from what I gather from her web presence, specializes in romances with "heat" which means they'll likely all be pretty heavy on the sexy vibes, sorry! Courtney Milan, one of the other romance authors I read, tends to have less sexual-focus in her books. There's always at least one explicit sex scene, which I gather is standard for any romance that's not specifically marketed as being part of the sub-genres that don't contain sex, but it's not as much of a focus for Milan as it seems to be for Rai. And Milan also does an EXCELLENT job of including lots of important platonic relationships in her characters' lives.
