Ken Follett actually likes to do this. Pillars of the Earth and its sequel World Without End both have it. A dangerous fortune does, too. They're all primarily historical fiction though, the romance is always just a part of it.

It's a great book but I dunno about boy meets girl. It's more civilisation dies and is reborn a few thousand years later with the weird leftovers of the previous one. Or did it have a romance I am forgetting?
