While I'm at it: i'm still collecting all reasons why people like Miranda, for the FAQ. Since nobody answered me yesterday, I'll post it again. What I have so far:
(1) She's supercompetent in several fields. There's less of a power imbalance between her and Shepard, which makes her a perfect companion for him.
(2) Her moral ambiguity - always more interesting than the black-and-white types.
(3) Emotionally detached - enough to be fascinating and refreshing, but not to much as to be unlikeable. Perfect balance.
(4) A spy with superpowers. Irresistible to some (I'm one).
(5) She's human (yes, that does matter for some in a romance, like me, so don't tell me it shouldn't)
(6) Engineered to be perfect - she might just be the genetic destiny of humanity.... 
(7) It helps that she's beautiful (tell me she isn't and I'll give you a few screenshots).
Anything else?
For me it's 1, 2, and 3, I think. Particularly 1. The fact that she and Shepard are equals creates a certain electrical charge that is very appealing... hard to explain.
Though I'd like to say I think her interesting past (which always intrigued me) should be added to the list as well.
I'm surrounded by spies with superpowers in tons of games so that's not such a big deal for me. I could care less she's human. I don't care she's engineered to be perfect. Her perfection is not a draw, except where it applies to making her character more torn.
... And I don't care she's beautiful. If there was another person in that body they wouldn't be appealing to me in the slightest.
