It allows me to imagine/dream/escape to a less complicated and slower world where the good guys usually finish first.

I fall completely in love. A great historical romance is a must for me, but sometimes I need the change of pace to something more relatable and current. I think some of the best contemps I've read have some of the great foundations of romance that work in any time period.
