I've noticed the same trend in my area that has been mentioned a few times: Lunas by romance authors get shelved in romance and the rest go in fantasy and science fiction. I'd love it if all of the Lunas were shelved in both areas though.
I'm not a huge fan of romance, although I'll buy anything by Julia Quinn. I love romantic fantasy and science fiction though, so I thought the Luna books would suit me perfectly. However, I've noticed that the two Lunas I've read by authors who had previously only written romance were my least favorites because they still felt like romances to me. I had expected Luna to be fantasy with a touch of romance (minus most romance cliches) from everything I had read about the imprint. Those two books seemed more like paranormal romance- and I've hated every paranormal I've tried. I'm probably going to be canceling my Luna subscription, then I'll only be buying the ones by fantasy and SF authors like yourself, Asaro, Brennan, and Zettel. My library gets the Lunas by romance authors, so if I ever get the urge to try another one, I can get them there.
