This subcategory is dedicated to sites about romance novels, i.e. promoting romance fiction books and writing. Key elements are a pair of individuals in a monogamous relationship ending in a "happily ever after" life. This genre is also closely linked with Women's Fiction.


Romance novels are most often printed in one of three formats:

  • categories (shorter format with limited shelf time of about one month - i.e. Harlequin, Loveswept, Mills & Boon, and Silhouette)
  • single titles (longer format with multi-month shelf time)
  • e-books

  • Romance novels come in several subgenres, some of which have additional sub-subgenres:

  • African-American a.k.a. Multicultural
  • Contemporary (Chick-Lit and Romantic Comedy, Romantic Suspense, Sports, Western)
  • Historical (Americana, Medieval, Native American, Regency, Scottish, Western)
  • Inspirational a.k.a. Christian
  • Paranormal (Faerie, Futuristic, Ghost, Psychic, Shapeshifter, Time Travel, Vampire, Witch)
  • Teen a.k.a. Young Adult

  • Additionally, romances are rated on a scale from "sweet" (little or no sex) to "spicy" (erotic romance). Sites featuring or about erotica should be submitted to the appropriate category in Adult.
