So far as I'm aware, the only pieces by Chopin known by that title are the Larghetto movements of the piano concertos.  Are they what you're referring to?

Are you sure that the "Romances" to which you refer aren't his songs?
Songs are often referred to as such in Russian and Eastern European countries.

You'll find the scores of them here:

and there are various recordings available.
