Sigh.
It not really that complicated really. But unfortunately, lots of authors want the eyeballs of romance readers on their stuff, without really knowing what the genre is. Its pretty simple. HEA/HFN and the story be about the couple. Which can be h/H h/h, H/H, doesn't matter. Its not romance if it doesn't have these 2 elements.
Indies are not "changing" the genre. I just see too much stuff stuffed into romance when its not actually romance.
I don't trust authors that don't know the genre they think they are writing in. Period.
There is nothing strict about having genre conventions. All genre have it. For some reason its romance that keeps getting the push. Why? Because its a huge genre and everyone wants a piece of it.
Why am I sticking with publishers? And with authors that I trust? Because they respect romance readers.
Amazon had become useless with all the mis categorized stuff.
