I think a book-pairing of Elliott/Rasmussen's Labyrinth Gate with Heyer's Devil's Cub and maybe Novik's Uprooted would make for a really interesting conversation about genre conventions and consent. (I personally enjoy Heyer from an anthropological-sf "weird social expectations" angle, but I didn't grow up with her books and tend not to find them romantic exactly.)
