- Romance novels are sometimes referred to as "smut" or female pornography. While some romance novels do contain more erotic acts, in other romance novels the characters do no more than kiss chastely. The romance genre runs the spectrum between these two extremes. Because the vast majority of the romance novel audience are women, most romance novels are told from a woman's viewpoint, in either first or third person.
- The Romance novel is the highest form of literary masterworks that fiction has ever known.

While romantic subplots have existed in fiction since fairly close to the beginning, romance as a focal point and driving force hadn't really been explored in depth until the last few centuries. Romance novels as an industry started in The Thirties with the company of Mills and Boon releasing hardcover romance novels. The genre changed significantly with the distribution of The Flame and the Flower, which is noteworthy for showing that buyers of romance novels are more than happy to read about sex. The genre has since evolved over time, gaining a number of subgenres in the process.
- A romance novel is the lady's equivalent to a gentleman's erotic magazine. Romance novels are used to vent excess lust from female head tubes, and prevent women from going on a nagging spree. The plot of all romance novels follow a very rigid and predictable pattern. As you can see, romance novels are a major factor (along with liberals, bears, and Baby Satan) in the corruption of America.

- A romance novel is the lady's equivalent to a gentleman's erotic magazine. Romance novels are used to vent excess lust from female head tubes, and prevent women from going on a nagging spree. The plot of all romance novels follow a very rigid and predictable pattern. 1.
* Lead female character (henceforth referred to as LFC) arrives at new, scary place, filled with total bitches and very few men. 2.
* LFC meets leader of bitches and is left demoralized. 3.
* LFC meets total jerk guy who she hates but at the same time is drawn to sexually. 4.
* LFC meets nice but not as sexy guy who wants to worship her. 5.
* LFC spurns nice guy. 6.
* LFC meets jerk again and has an argument that somehow results in them "getting it on". 7.
* LFC learns queen of bitches is dating jerk, and feels the sweet sweet taste of revenge.

- A genre of Literature that has become popular starting in the early 20th century. While romantic subplots have existed in fiction since fairly close to the beginning, romance as a focal point and driving force hadn't really been explored in depth until the last few centuries. Romance novels as an industry started in The Thirties with the company of Mills and Boon releasing hardcover romance novels. The genre changed significantly with the distribution of The Flame and the Flower, which is noteworthy for showing that buyers of romance novels are more than happy to read about sex. The genre has since evolved over time, gaining a number of subgenres in the process. While subversions, aversions, deconstructions, and parodies are prevalent, most romance novels are fairly idealistic and end Happily Ever After. A couple of companies such as Harlequin (Mills and Boon in the U.K.) have started a business model of releasing relatively short (~55,000 words), Strictly Formula paperbacks. These are known as "category" or "series" romances because they are divided into series, each of which has its own requirements for setting, tone, and level of sensuality and is visually distinguishable by consistent cover design. It's usually these that most people think of when the genre is brought up. Almost all listed authors of such books are female, although many are written by men using female pseudonyms, since the reader base expects the author to be a woman. Also, the main character is usually female - romance stories featuring a male main character are either rare or non-existant. "Single title" romances -- those released as standalones rather than associated with a category -- are usually longer, sometimes come out in hardcover, and have more overlap with mainstream fiction. Particularly successful series romance writers often move up to writing books of this type. The genre has always had a bit of a stigma to it, generally getting critically dismissed as "not literature" for most of its existence. They are often derisively known as "bodice-rippers" (particularly the historic ones) or "trashy romance novels" though it's obviously a stereotype that they all have gratuitous sex scenes. Some cynical souls have observed that the stereotypical 'romance' book or movie shares a trait with most porn fiction, in that both stories end before the point where the natural consequences of the foolish or irrational choices and actions of the characters would arise.
