No, it's not a list of "fantastically great romance reads" but a legitimate fantasy subgenre.
Fantastic Romance Characteristics
- Level of Magic
This varies from work to work, depending on the characters, but there's usually not much new here.
- Level of Characterization
The love story being the focus of the work, there are fewer characters than in most fantasy sub-genres. Sometimes the main characters are drawn with a surprisingly amount of complexity.
- Level of Plot Complexity
Pretty low, and about what you'd expect from a romance.
- Level of Violence
Both sex and violence rate high here, but they are usually portrayed pretty innocuously.
