Description

According to the Romance Writers of America, “Every romance novel is built on two fundamental elements: a central love story and an emotionally satisfying, optimistic ending.” While the conflict and climax should directly relate to the central theme of developing a romantic relationship, the novel may also include subplots that do not specifically focus on the main characters' love story. Other definitions of a romance novel can be broader, encompassing more diverse plots and endings, or even more than two people, or they can be narrower, limiting the types of romances or conflicts.
