Quality will vary a bit according to the individual author's skill, but generally the stories and plots and outcomes in each particular line will be fairly similar to the point where the books are relatively interchangeable for subgenre niche readers.

So they end up being rather reliably recognizable.
This, plus I have the writers' guidelines from Mills & Boon so know exactly what to expect.
