Not what some would call a romance but it certainly has an element...it's definitely quirky. Brilliant book.

The Strike novels by Robert Gailbraith / JK Rowling have a very slow burn romance at centre (as well as being cracking detective novels).

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
One Day by David Nicholls
Attachments by Rainbow Rowell (I haven't read it yet but sounds like it might fit!)

Ellie and the Harp-Player. Modern and quirky but also very sweet.
