African-American romances tend to focus exclusively on relationships between African-American or black heroes and heroines, and are commonly set in urban areas. The stories are often written by black authors, though Julie Garwood did write a historical focusing on African-American characters settling in the West in the post-Civil War era.

African-American romances are also sometimes referred to as Multi-Cultural romance, though the latter also includes all non-white groups. Interracial Romance is also sometimes included in this group, though the term technically refers to romances between a hero and heroine of different ethnic background.

Publishers
