Romantic writers have the advantage of writing what they feel not just what they made up. Romantic writers can make a book sad, scary, and happy. Whereas fictional books almost always end up perfect for the main character. I do think that the techniques and styles were effective for the themes and subjects being addressed because they flow into the subject. Using an absolute sob story for a romantic book could be passed off as a hit if you use the right techniques. So, yes. I do think that the techniques and styles were effective for the themes and subjects being addressed.
