Like Lord of the Rings being the gold standard for fantasy and a perfect starting off point. I would say Jurassic Park is a perfect appetizer to venture into sci fi. I have never read an outright romance novel and would love one that would get me more interested in that area.

LOTR is too complex to call it entry level.
If you’re looking for entry level fantasy you’d be better off with the Inheritance cycle series
Maybe the hobbit but definitely not lotr.
For a great starter fantasy romance novel I would recommend The Night Circus by Erin Morganstern.

Pride and Prejudice!
The best starter fantasy is The Wizard of Earth Sea. The best starter Sci-fi is something like Rendezvous with Rama. The best starter science education is The Invention of Nature.
Pushing Ice by Alastair Reynolds is an amazing space opera type sci-fi starter.
The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan (though incredibly long) is a great epic fantasy starter.
