I differentiate futuristics from sci-fi romance by the amount of science fiction versus romance. Linnea Sinclair writes sci-fi romance. Catherine Spangler writes futuristics. Early Jayne Ann Krentz/Amanda Glass wrote some futuristics. And Susan Grant's stuff I would put somewhere in between, depending on the story.
Would you categorize JD Robb's In Death series as a futuristic (although it's also got mystery elements as well)?
