I guess romance books are an easy target because they are cranked out at a ferocious pace and are very similar but as you say any genre can be formulaic. Take my favorite genre of Thriller/Adventure. They are all set in either the African Desert, The Amazon Jungle, Under the Ocean or in The Arctic/Antartica and a big discovery has been made that the "baddies" want and the "goodies" have to overcome all sorts of conflict to win in the end. It doesn't stop me enjoying the action and adventure
