Point taken. If a book has an element of romance, but isn't actually a piece of romance fiction the author should make sure to not accidentally mislead potential buyers. And lots of books that are one genre have elements of others in them. Mysteries for example can have the hero in a romance with another character, but they are still Mysteries.
