Ohhh, interesting. I don't read Robb but I have heard that there is a gender reversal in the series. What I wonder though, is if we wouldn't see more of that if there were other long running 'romances' in series. Since a romance only spans the courtship we are less likely to see how the relationship progresses.

The only other books I could think of are Evanovich (where I dare anyone to tell me Joe isn't much more mature and in charge than the heroine) and LKH up to Obsidian Butterfly. Anita was kick-ass all the way and her one hero was the nurturing one while the other would like to nurture her but can't.

Okay, that's all I got ;)
