The aforementioned Janet Evanovich uses the love interest in this manner--it has never been "solved" in 20 some books. ) In the fantasy ones where there's a cliffhanger, the mystery of the moment is usually solved, but some aspect results in a cliff hanger-not always or even usually the "main" storyline.
But the love interest is not the primary story.
