I have not enjoyed these books at all. Kushiel's Dart's virtues, while not nonexistent, probably don't include something best described as "fun" - it is not light or humorous or particularly merry.

I liked all the descriptions of how the different parts of society work logistically.

Good catch! I'm just trying to ease into the romance literature as I've never read one before. But I thought I might enjoy one because of how often I fantasize about being married.

If you're interested in romance->marriage, you may actually like Amish romance novels.

Of course not many romance novels are about married characters! :-)
