The heroine learns life lessons while working for minimum wage and tips (how hard for her). The hero is a multi-millionaire boy genius who cannot show emotions (how hard for him). There are approx. 8 million cameos. Golf is boring. They don't really like each other. Golf is really boring. Despite being a romance novel, the hero and heroine don't really like each other.
I understand the value of fantasy and escapism in romance, but you can find that without rich and/or famous characters. Contemporary millionaire heroes just upset me, however I have a higher tolerance for the rich in historical romance. If I'm reading about a duke, marquess, earl or even a baron - I'll buy that he's rich, it's 1814, being rich means he's also bathed recently - but if I'm reading about two 30 something's in a small Texas town in 2011, they don't have to be rich, just interesting and likable.
