I'm not sure if it's actually taggef as romance, but 'The song of Achilles' by Adeline Miller was amazing. If you haven't heard about it, it's a retelling of the Illiad with a focus on the romance between Achilles and Patrocles and I thought it was amazing and well paced.

I don't know if I'd call it positive, though. Typical romances aren't usually supposed to be massive tearjerkers.
