Of course, it's possible to have a love story subplot in an adventure story, or an adventure subplot in a romance. To each his or her own. The good thing about books is that the reader brings so much of his or her own perception to the story. And not all women demand or even want love stories. Surely there are men out there who enjoy the love subplot (as opposed to the sex subplot) in Spiderman or Lord of the Rings, aren't there? Do men read (or watch) Jane Austen?
