To answer your question; anything could be added into a story, romance or strange acts of unprovoked violence included. So as long as it's written TASTEFULLY.

It's all in the writing. I've always thought Twilight had an interesting premise, but it was written in a way that pandered only to a niche demographic (googly-eyed tweens). Why does so and so character treat someone like shit? Are they sociopaths? Have underlying anger problems? If you don't back anything up without reason, the writing's gonna fall pretty fast and pretty hard.
