ROMANCE every time! I'm always on edge when it comes close to the characters finally getting together, especially when things turn naughty :wink:

Action with a light romance. I don't have the patience for a kitschy romance.

I've been reading a lot of romance lately and am getting bored of them, so I'm going to say action for now.

Most days its action for me. Don't get me wrong though, there are definitely days when I'm in the mood for a girly romance novel but action will always make my jaw drop and my heart race.
All I need is a new book and a place to read it...

I like action with some romance, but nothing too detailed.

I like action mixed with romance. Full romance isn't appealing to me unless it's something fresh and new and different.

Romance. It just gets me so much involved in the book that I even get tears from the situations in the story :wink:

I am definitely more of a romance fan but still love to read action / adventure stories

I deffinitely like action more, but if it's mixed with a little bit of romance, it's even better.

I do like romance, but don't really care for the details.

I prefer romance to action. Too much action is difficult to pay attention to when I have numerous things going on in my surroundings. That causes me to have to reread paragraphs just to picture what is taking place. Then again, I go against the crowd and like good old fashioned stories where people are just living curious lives.

Romance all the way. Got hooked on it with Nora Roberts and have read all of hers. I have read some mysteries by Lisa Scottaline which I liked but if I had a choice it would be romance.

i am a sucker for the romance, but i like the ones which feature passionate characters who aren't afraid of a bit of action - a heroine who is willing to be the her not damsel in distress, the hardened man who has sacrificed his heart slowly learning to love once more. many a late night have i spent pouring over these books, guiltily thinking of myself as the character.

action is great but romance just draws you in so alluringly....
