I love a "little romance" in my suspense and thriller novels. I enjoyed Nora Robert's DIVINE EVIL, ---a tale of passion, murder and scandal. A fiend suggested THROUGH VIOLET EYES, by Stephen Woodworth. Which romantic suspense-thriller did you love? What would you recommend? Wishing you all the best, and happy reading!

Catherine Coulters FBI thrillers always have a romance going in them, those are pretty good. |
|||
|
|||
Kay Hooper's newer books are comparable to Catherine Coulter's. I've also recently read "Exit Strategy" by Kelley Armstrong, and really liked it. |

Barbara Michaels: The Dancing Floor and Vanish With The Rose |

J A Jance writes good suspenseful romance , Kay hooper, LIsa jackson are also good, i also like mariah stewart alot of hers are series though so you want to read them in order the same with jance |

Nora Roberts writes as J.D Robb. Her "In Death" series is awesome! |
|||
|
|||
I like Linda Howard. |
|||
|
|||
"Never Tell" by Selena Montgomery. |
|||
|
|||
I love Linda Howard. She always writes very dark, brooding alpha male hero's. Julie Garwoods contemporary romantic suspense books 'the buchanan' series is very good. If you like military romance/suspense/action.....I HIGHLY recommend Suzanne Brockmanns 'troubleshooter' series, and Marliss Melton's Navy SEALS series. They are excellent.

A fiend suggested THROUGH VIOLET EYES, by Stephen Woodworth. Just as an FYI - you may want to avoid Through Violet Eyes, as it's not a typical romantic suspense. In fact, it you're looking at the softer end of the genre, then the person who suggested it is in fact a "fiend." LOL |

I love Nora Roberts. She has a lot that are the romance/mystery type. Also Karen Robards,hers are really good. Kay Hooper.

Marrianne Stillings, Ginneda Low, Shannon McKenna, Linda Howard, Karen Robards, Suzanne Brockmann |
|||
|
|||
Try Ashley Dawn's Shadows From the Past....I think it's great :) |
|||
|
|||
I loved Erin Hart's two novels, Haunted Ground & Lake of Sorrows. They would fall in to your category of romance & thrillers. I am anxiously awaiting her third installment to this series. |
|||
|
|||
A correction to Mary L's list - it's Gennita Low and not Ginneda Low. :) And I too recommend her! |
|||
|
|||
Shannon McKenna's books are very good. She has a series of 4 starting with Behind Colsed Doors. Her stories are a bit hot, be prepared. |
|||
|
|||
J.D. Robb In Death series is also incredibly hot, very passionate, but great mystery too. LOVE HER!! |
|||
|
|||
I like em too! Nowhere to HIde by James Elliot Shades of Gray forget the author
My Spy Hot Pursuit 2000 Kisses all by Christina Sky |

I like j a jance , karen slaughter is also good, karen harper has a few good ones and lisa jackson is also good |
|||

I read almostly exclusively romantic suspense. In my opinion, no one can compare to Mary Stewart, the dame of romantic suspense and I still read her books yearly. Susannah Kearsley is the closest I've found to Stewart's style of writing. Of the others listed in this thread, Kay Hopper is probably my favorite! |
|||
|
|||
I second the In Death series and the Suzanne Brockmann Troubleshooters series. I also really enjoyed Brenda Novak's Stillwater Trilogy....it includes Dead Silence, Dead Giveaway, and Dead Right. |

I have Nora Roberts Red Lily on my bookshelf. And I am running a 2/1 special. Don't know if I have much else that would appeal to Romance Suspense category though :) I'm just getting started. I should have added the link to my 2/1 offer at the Book Bazaar for your convenience - http://www.paperbackswap.com/forum/topic.php?t=104207 Last Edited on: 2/9/08 9:47 AM ET - Total times edited: 1 |
