And I totally agree about getting spoiled for imperfect characters. And it's a hard line to walk: how do you make a character flawed but likable, tormented yet not comedic in their pain?
But I think most romance writers, and Nora Roberts in particular aren't trying.
(That said, are you have you read her In Death books? She's always better when she's writing as JD Robb, and had a secondary couple that I like better than the main one, precisely because they are so much more flawed and likable.)
