Oh man, "Shards of Honor" is where we see why Cordelia and Aral both have the reputations they do. The book has, I think, some of the coolest military SF of the whole series, next to "Warrior's Apprentice." The romance element is there, but calling it a romance because of it would be like calling "Empire Strikes Back" a romance.
Now, if someone wants to call "A Civil Campaign" a romance...easier sell there.
