    Seriously, I'm fed up with those people who recommend books randomly every day. Can't they read? Can't they read the titles? It's clearly a no-romance story! People who are grandmothers are still talking about love and marriage! The reason people choose no-romance stories is because they don't want to read them, and you guys are the ones who specifically recommend stories with couples within the no-romance category. (The following are all no-romance stories, some from ancient times and some from different eras.) Find what you want to read yourself.
