Last week, BuzzFeed Books took a trip to Dallas to attend the 32nd annual RT Booklovers Convention for romance readers and writers.

BuzzFeed
Romance and erotica aren't plotless.
"There is an actual story, not just sex." ("Although, sometimes it is [just sex], which is also fine," she added.)

"It's not all about the SEX!"
BuzzFeed

"Romance can be clean, too!"
