I've just been revisiting the original fanfic work of Truth and Measure, and I still think the published version is superior in pretty much everything but really miss the presence of Caroline and Cassidy in the revised book. I love and want melodrama in my romance stories but family bonding, I think, leaves much more of an impression on me.

Some of my other fav books that got this are The Snowball Effect (I quite often go back to to this book just to read the scenes with Emma's Grandma) and it's the same with Three Reasons to Say Yes and the kids' scenes. I think these parts are the main reason I love these stories.

Anything you'd recommend that features this kind of subplot prominently?

Is the romance prominent in the story, or is it more like Gideon the Ninth? And if the former, does it have a happy ending?

I like the premise but I'm more in the mood for romance-focused books atm.
