[...] Author Anya Bast provides her definition: “Erotic romance is a romance, where the development of the relationship between the hero and heroine is focused on, but is also very sexually explicit. Erotic romance interweaves the sexual and emotional journey of the H/H. If you cut away all the sexual bits, the story still stands on its own. However, sex plays a large role in the plot.” http://www.anyabast.com/2007/11/01/erotic-romance-romance-definitions/ [...]

This thread is a little too much for me at 11:30 pm on a Friday night… I’ll come back and see if I can throw in my 2 cents later when I’m a bit more awake. heh!

Hi Anya! Surprise! I read your blog regularly. Now you know. :o)

I agree with all your definitions. But I’m a little confused about urban fantasy. What’s the difference between an urban fantasy romance and a paranormal romance. You already know I’m always one step behind what’s happening, but I thought an urban fantasy was a paranormal, such as a vampire, werewolf, et al. That even though these stories might have plenty of action going on between the h&h, they don’t end with the usual happily-ever-after, so that’s what throws them over from being a contemp. paranormal romance to urban fantasy.

Now I’ve probably confused you, too, with that wacky ramble. Could you explain the difference to me, cause I’d really like to know.

Thanks, sweetie!
