True, it's a well-tread path. Anything romance tends to recycle. I think a lot of writers like to copy off each other...
My mom had a stash of 70s & 80s Harlequin romance books that had the same five plots with the names changed, all horrifically full of the prejudices and popular tropes of the time.
The trope of every middle eastern man being a prince or oil tycoon is kinda. Not it for me. The story was cute though.
