    Some of the M&B story arcs and the happy endings are very predictable. I suppose this very same quality makes it suitable for a light read anytime without the need to invest too much in to the plots or characters and with only minimum thought processing involved. Some may prefer this, am only assuming here. I may not know the actual circumstances or mindsets one might chose to pick a M&B anyway, which is what is your question isn't? then I agree with the previous commenters here, for the sake of or lack of romance in life probably or for a simpler reason, they like to read M&B because they like to read a M&B.

    Escapism. The same reasons why Twilight/Fifty Shades of Grey is awfully successful. Most people are not looking at reading books that make them think differently, that show them the greyness of characters and the limits of imagination. Instead, they're quite content to read from the same old mold. Guilt pleasures, maybe.



    It's been a decade since, but here are some. People say the best things in life are free.

    False Facades
    Sam Westlane is the new kid in the famous all boys Crestan High School for the rich and the spoiled ... There's only one problem. Sam is a girl.

    Shadow of the Templar
    Simon Drake is an up-and-coming young FBI hotshot, an agent with a personal track record so outstanding that it borders on unbelievable. Not yet thirty, he's already the leader of his own special ops team; a ragtag bunch of talented but nigh-uncontrollable lunatics, a team with an almost unblemished record—until now.
    Jeremy Archer is the brilliant and unpredictable scion of a long line of international art thieves, simultaneously a phenomenally wealthy English socialite and one of the most infamous criminals in the world. At twenty-seven years old he's already wanted on nearly every continent for thefts totalling more than ninety-one million dollars, and yet no one has ever come close to catching him—until now.
    Now?
    May the best man win.

    The Courting of Aviah Rubienne
    The plots of Aviah and the many doomed suitors that attempt to court her. She outwits all but one of them, and he happens to be the worst of all. (She'll learn her lessons. )
