Regency Romance is the title given to the genre of romance novels that are not just set in Regency times, but also a type of story which concentrates on traditional story lines, e.g., marriages of convenience, arranged marriages, nanny and/or governess romances. Although there is sexual attraction and tension, there is usually no sex between the unmarried hero and heroine. Often the writing is more formal or stylized. The books are usually shorter and distinctive from other "full-length" historical books which are also set in the Regency period.
