Writers have been working for years then suddenly they're an overnight sensations.
Since everyone is part of a culture, we define the subgenre as a romance in which the main characters embrace one of the minority races in the United States. At this writing these books only have African-American characters as the major players. There are several translations into the Spanish language of some category romances and Indian romances, which had previously been considered historical, are suddenly popping up in the multicultural classification. Where the differences begin to verge off is that books written by African-American, Hispanic, or Indian women will bring with them a new perspective to the genre, a new view to a tried and true relationship. First and foremost it's a love story.
