I am not, as a rule, a big fan of romance novels. I don’t mind if romance is in there, but if it’s the main focus of the characters, I get bored very quickly and wish I could tell them to get their priorities straight. As I often say, I prefer my romance to be a side dish rather than the main course. If your novel has a very heavy romantic slant to it, then chances are I’m going to enjoy it less than if it had been toned down.
