About Suspense Romance
Romantic Suspense, also called Romantic Thriller or Romance Thriller, combines two of the most popular fiction genres, Romance and Suspense, to offer readers a new, engaging type of story. Romantic Suspense books center around the romantic relationship between the main character and their love interest, but also use mysterious, thriller, or suspense elements to move the plot along. This type of genre-melding comes from Gothic Horror, and has proven to be a popular subgenre for readers of all ages. The space between thriller and romance can be a tricky place for authors: If the characters are underdeveloped and the mystery too convoluted, the romance will suffer, but if the mystery isn't well-thought out or doesn't hang together, the suspense will feel like an afterthought. When done right, the Romantic Suspense novel offers readers an edge-of-their-seat read, breathlessly combining the thrilling and romantic elements at once. Masterful examples of this genre include many of Nora Roberts’ works, such as Hidden Riches and The Obsession; Lisa Jackson’s Running Scared; Julie Garwood’s Heartbreaker; and Rachel Hawkin’s The Wife Upstairs. Find these novels and more on Everand.
