The Amazon KDP keywords romance readers actually type: trope names like enemies to lovers, fake dating and small town romance. Romance is the highest-volume genre on Amazon, so the seven keyword slots decide whether your book surfaces at all. Start from tropes, not settings.
Lead with the trope, not the setting. Readers search "enemies to lovers", not "office love story".
Fill all seven KDP slots with distinct phrases and never repeat words Amazon already indexes from your title and subtitle.
Pair one trope keyword with one heat-level qualifier: "clean small town romance", "steamy billionaire romance".
Type your candidate phrase into the Amazon search bar and harvest the auto-suggest dropdown. It ranks live reader queries.
