I've noticed in my cop stories that Stef and Drew never really argue,
and I've realized that this parallels my own personal difficulties in addressing
intimate conflicts...
In the War Correspondent novel, I've at least had a few short scenes
of irritability and resentment being worked out...
But you're right-
while a few silly misunderstandings are normal and amusing,
it takes more to make a story worth the reading...
as they say, Saint George wouldn't be a saint if he'd fought a dragonfly...

If it's identifiable -- even subtly -- as a sign that the characters aren't processing their conflicts, then I'd call that a valid reflection of challenge. If it's a matter of you as the author avoiding their conflicts, that's not so good.

Depends on the market, though, and the market for dragonfly romance is orders of magnitude larger than the market for dragon romance.
