Um, no. Not necessarily. The protagonists don't need to be handsome, and a romance doesn't need to include characters which are taken advantage of.

Once you get behind a writer, they can write a book about any subject, and you'll pick it up to read.
For me, that's true. For instance, I never thought I'd read a romance where one of the protagonists was a billionaire, but when Courtney Milan wrote one, I took a chance on it, and did not regret it.
I guess the only firm conclusion we can draw is that there are no universal truths in what readers like
