I'd take action that has a bit of romance in it. Pure action is all well and good but a bit heavy to me. A little chemistry is good I'd say.

This is a tough one to answer, I enjoy both about the same. A combination of both is normally a good read, but if it's an erotic romance that would win every time.

Why not both? My favourite books are those with action that keeps me on edge while it also has a deep and realistic romance.

Both at the same time. Catherine Mann, Cindy Gerard, and Roxanne St. Clair are good examples

A blend of action and romance is my thing but the romance has to be more than action.

romance. I'm very interested in those sappy romances with the tall dark and handsome hero and the sexy heroin doubting her own beauty. add a good story to the mix and I'm totally down for it.

I know it's totally un-girlie of me, but I prefer action. The more action, the better.

Especially with swords. Lots of swords. :ugeek2:

I have to admit I am a bit of a hopeless romantic and do prefer romance stories. I love going to my local bookstore and shop for romance novels in bulk. My favorite authors are Lisa Kleypas and Julia Quinn. Even if you are not as into romance books as you are action novels I still highly recommend these authors.

I love romance novels but the paranormal kind so there is always some kind of action involved with the bad guys.
Action novels also, but I read them less than the romance ones.

Both, I want a book that have a little bit of action and a little bit of romance, but if I only choose one its romance.

I prefer action than romance because it helps me to learn more techniques in terms of self defense .
