One day out of nowhere everything electrical stops working. Straight-up just stops. No explanation. Chaos ensues. Little groups of people with real-world skills (along with a few RenFaire types) gather together to survive.
The best part is, Stirling's still writing the series. He's up to book five or six now. Great stuff.
Time to look for a job out of Michigan.
*cough*

I know (and approve of the fact that) AM's a huge Heinlein fan but I'm not sure how "accessible" his sci-fi is... to be honest sometimes his explanations are a bit past me & even in his "juveniles" like Have Spacesuit Will Travel [amazon.com] I'm a little lost at how his characters figure things out (see my siggy for an example of RAH's attitude). That said, the one I linked there is outstanding & while it doesn't have the romance, it's a cool story.
My ex-wife was the same way about sci-fi/fantasy: if it was too wild she couldn't get into it... that said, she enjoyed Anne McCaffrey's books a lot (which surprised me). You might try Dragonsong [amazon.com] & if you like it, continue with the Harper Hall trilogy and move on to the rest of her Pern books. There are dozens & the ex read them all. The White Dragon [amazon.com] is another favorite but I wouldn't read it until you've decided whether you like Pern or not & have finished the Harper Hall books - just for an understanding of the way her universe works.
I'm having trouble thinking of more sci-fi with anything romantic - it's not typically a "feature" of the genre - but if I think of anything I'll post it back here. Let me know what you think of those suggestions so I can tailor future ones for you.
Moon is a Harsh Mistress is my #1 RAH Book (thank you Autumn for my Xmas Gift via SSanta) It replaced the copy that I've had for years that I've re-read 100x of times..and was falling apart!
MIAHM is prob my #1 fav SciFi book bar none... Ender's Game is prob #2 by OSC.
Everyone keeps giving me tables.
