You are the author. It's YOUR choice. The market will let you know whether it likes what you write or not. Still, I understand that there are limits. For example, how many people know that The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde that has come down to us is not the first version that Stevenson wrote? The first one was so horrifying that when he had his wife read it, she found it so revolting that he threw the manuscript into the fire and rewrote it in its entirety.
Violence in a romance? Hmm...does it add to the story? Does it make sense? Or is it just gratuitous (there simply for the sake of violence)? Or is it a necessary part of the plot? Again, that's something only you, the author, can decide.
