Short Story Fiction

Are there any very short novels where the characters have different personalities each time? I do not want long-winded epics.

Why Are There So Few Books That Suit My Taste?

Life is hard enough, so I want something sweet to read. No angst, please: let the characters communicate, and give me romance. No boys' love or girls' love, not out of prejudice, but I simply do not enjoy reading it. Please don't make the female lead too stupid, and don't make her unrealistically domineering or overpowered either. Keep things reasonably grounded in ordinary life. Preferably completed, so I won't have to wait for updates.
