Or perhaps I'm defining like more narrowly than you are.
It depends. If the villain is likeable, yes. If he has redeeming characteristics, if I can see the possibility of his redemption. I do read zombie books, post apocaptic books, and SF, in addition to romance, so not all of my main characters are femaile. But I definitely prefer to read about female main characters. So for the most part, I don't read anything where the sole POV of a villain.
