I'm glad I could help XD I'll gladly blather on about Bujold and her books given the slightest provocation.
And yeah, the Sharing Knife books are out and out romance, but still with plenty of action. The Chalion books (well, Curse and Paladin) have a romance happening... OK, backing up. Curse and Paladin are primarily fantasy stories (in a quasi-medieval-Spain), and romances occur during them. For SK, LMB set out to write A Romance in a fantasy setting. They're both romancey, but SK follows more of the romance tropes than Curse or Paladin.
The VK book A Civil Campaign borrows heavily from Georgette Heyer. It's essentially the story of Miles wooing a woman, in the only way he knows how. Hijinks ensue, also much facepalming on the part of the reader.
I also really like CJ Cherryh. She's written approximately eleventy million books, mostly SF, though there are about a dozen fantasy books in there. She's not so much with the romance aspect, but Cyteen has a gay couple. I have about 2 4'-long shelves devoted to her books.
