Romance is not my thing

I've never made a secret about not being particularly fond of romance. I don't tend to read romance novels without a rec from someone whose taste I trust and who knows my taste as well. I don't even usually care much for the romance that get shoehorned into many non-romance stories. I've been accused of being a failure to my femininity for that fact, but eh, I don't care.

Still, fond or not, if something is well written, it's well written. I've found some romantic stories I liked very much - Lions of Al Rassan comes to mind, or the Kushiel books. And I found something like that in Saga. (Link goes to Goodreads review. As always, possible spoilers under the cut.)
