Romance Writers of America defines a romance novel as a central love story with a satisfying, optimistic ending. The most common happy ending in romance novels is when a couple is committed to staying together. Romance author Laurie Schnebly Campbell advises that the main challenge of writing romance versus other types of fiction is that a romance novel requires a writer to successfully weave together three different stories: the hero's, the heroine's, and the story of their romance.

I have that early in my book and then they together need to fight for their lives, A joint journey. Can you comment on whether that s enough Please
