The romance made me drop the series when I finished the second book. May/December has never been my thing, even when I was all of 13 or 14. I loosened up and read the rest of the series years later. I still like the first book the most, but there is one scene in Locked Rooms which I like a great deal.
Though I've been informed that the horrible! horrible! line "I've wanted to do that since the first moment I saw you" is used after their first kiss.
*snickers* Yes, it is.
John/Aeryn in Farscape also have that sort of vibe, and I love it.
Farscape! I am gleefully stalled four episodes into S4. I would not have thought to compare Russell/Holmes to John/Aeryn, but I agree with your observation of the partnership aspect.
