@kaym772 Hmm, I'm not certain it's completely true, a story can have elements of Romance but if the writer focuses more on displaying other genres (Ex. being Dark Fantasy or Sci-fi, or Horror and such), across the story without giving more emphasis on the Romance then it's not really a romance, it can have romantic elements but without it being part of the main plot, it's not a Romance, not to mention Romance usually comes with some kind of happy ending but Authors can find a way to still mash together Romance and tragedy however, no matter how much does one think about it, once you add something like tragedy to the mix, is it really still just a Romance?, if it doesn't end well at the end, you can't consider that a Romance at all.
