Romantic science fiction is rare, which is why we are having so much
trouble finding it (although the Miller/Lee output is mostly
romantic, so much so that I finally subtitled _Carpe Diem_ as
"Honeymoon on an Interdicted Planet" in my own mind).
Romantic Fantasy, however, is everywhere. I like Phyllis
Eisenstein's _The Sorcerer's Son_ as an example.
