Just because it's "romance" does not mean it's not fantasy. (If it doesn't have fantastical elements, then fine, it shouldn't be shelved under the fantasy shelf, but otherwise, sheer presence of a supernatural creature is paranormal enough for me.)

Romance IS the genre. Historical, Western, paranormal--those are just the setting.
I'd say horror is a genre too, though the parameters are somewhat less clearly defined than those for romance.
