Romance definitely but it's good if there is a little action in it

I would choose action over romance any day. Romance is too predictable for me.

A book with action and romance? I believe in a good love story between two strong and badas# characters. I love spy story with a lot of mystery and action.

I would have to say romance. I read action sometime for something different.

Action every time. Maybe with some implied chemistry between the characters. But what I look for is a good plot that lets me escape into the adventure.
Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.

Action, all the way. Romances are redundant. Same story line. Boy meets girl, boy likes girl. They end up together. Vice versa. Actions have so much twists and turns and most times you don't know how it'll end up.
Between the pages of a book is a lovely place to be...

Both has its own charm but I like a sweet mix of both. A romance flick that can give you a trilling edge or a hard core action with a sweet back story of love are enticing to my ears.

I think reading a book with a great mix of a couple of genres are great.

I enjoy romance but so many of them are the same. Action is good but i think it's better with romance added in as part of the story line.

Romantic suspense and supernatural romance are currently my favorites.

I like a good balance of both. Action is fine alone, buts it's even better with a dash of romance!

I'm not particularly inclined to either of these genres. So, if I had to choose I'd go with Action with a side of romance.

Some people might be of the opinion that one of these categories is better than the other but in my opinion both of them are equal. If there is a book that involves both of them then you can clearly observe the beautiful amalgam created by their combined presence
