I usually prefer a romantic subplot in my stories. I have two in my current WIP. The first with my MMC I had planned from the beginning and is easy to write. But then came my FMC. I must have tried four different love interests before I just picked one. Turns out, she found him annoying and so did I. Then I found the right guy and was going to make them meet in a sequel. Long story short, the sequel fell apart, so I crammed him into book one (a standalone) and got rid of Mr. Annoying. I added the new love interest in while in the middle of my second draft. I don't want the romance to feel "shoehorned." So my question is, what makes a romantic subplot feel crammed in at the last second?
The new guy's main job is standing as a living version of her old job since they both work similar jobs.
