I can confirm from experience that Jacob's romance is terrible. In my first playthrough, when I played as M!Shep, I liked him quite a lot, he was a good buddy, so when I started my second playthrough as FemShep, I decided to romance him, even though I knew by that time that it had no future, and I really wish I had gone for ANYONE else instead. It's bland and unconvincing, more like a fling that got temporarily mistaken for something else, and he even has some stupid comments like "you're lucky you're so special", as if Shepard should feel honoured by his attention. To top it all, when he comes to Shep's cabin before the suicide mission, he goes all macho, talking about sneaking into his CO's quarters for a "prize" - at which moment I didn't kick him out because 1)I was curious to see how Shep would respond to his cheating in ME3 and 2) the game didn't allow me to send a shockwave where it would hurt him most.
