No, it's not a romance as genre is understood now. If a book in the romance section doesn't have a HEA, I'm afraid the bookseller is going to get some complains for the usual customers. Anyway, this is an usual discussion... with people who doesn't read the genre
Anyway, I'm a picker (I'm sure some readers know with I mean) and the reason is "A Knight in Shining Armor", romance according to your definition but not mine.
