Definitely Action! The kind of romance i see in books, hardly ever happens where i come from and rather than enjoy it,i find it difficult often times to relate with it.

Maybe there is a kind of romance i am hoping to see that i haven't yet seen. Perhaps, i would write it one day. 😀

I would always settle for romance but a combination of both action and touch of romance on it would be too interesting to take on.

Romance because I am a hopeless romantic who is a sucker for anything that has to do with people falling in love.

Romance with a bit of action mixed in is pretty good! I recently read Devil's Bride by Stephanie Laurens and, while it is primarily a romance novel, there is some action around a murder and subsequent investigation, with the main character being the heroine. I really enjoyed it!

Both genres put me on edge but romance genre is my best all the way. When reading romance books I can hardly do a damn thing until I read it to the end.

Action with a sprinkle of romance does it for me. When I was in high school I was all about romance but noe am older and mature I tend to lean a bit more on action.

I love romance but with a bit of action. I feel like action books can get quite complicated and romance books sometimes get repetitive.

Oh action most definitely. Romance is a nice addition, but I don't like to much of it. I want to read about characters accomplishing amazing things.

I always go for action and I tend to avoid books that focus primarily on romance. The only time I can really enjoy a romance in a book is if it is a side-story or a slow burn.

Action. Every. Single. Time. I love the movement and anticipating physical combat between characters. The action in books gives me more of an adrenaline rush than any romantic scene.

I mostly prefer reading books with action. Reading books with mainly romance theme bores me.

Both are good. I generally choose them over my mood.
