The romances do get better in the rest of the series, in my opinion. Still not as good as Dragon Age: Origins, though, from what I've seen.
Garrus got better for me in ME2. I liked him in the first game, but he was too malleable, I guess? He had more of his own personality in the second game, and it worked for me.
And yay, love for Ashley. :D So many people dislike her, and she's one of my favorites, for pretty much exactly those reasons. I'm still disappointed that I can't romance her with a ladyShep without modding the game.
