I am so glad to see that others share my dislike for romance plots thrown in where they add absolutely nothing to the book. Recently I read a crime novel that I really enjoyed, in part because of the strong female protagonist and her great non-romantic friendship with her male work-partner. About 80-90% into the book it had been romance free. Then it was like the author though "hey, wait a second, we're almost at the end and I've forgotten the romance part" and sure enough, they end up in bed together <sigh>.
Why oh why is it so hard to let men and women stay FRIENDS???
