The Best New Romantic Suspense Books to Read

02 Oct 2015

“Thrills” can mean multiple things when describing a romantic suspense novel, which is perhaps why they’re so great. Romantic suspense books take the beautifully heartwarming parts of a great contemporary romance novel and combine them with the action-packed suspense of a thriller novel. The end result is something engaging and incredibly popular: a novel that is equal parts mystery and love story.

If you’re a fan of romantic suspense books, you’re in luck. Several of the best romantic suspense authors released new titles in the past few months, which means your list of books to read just got a little happier.
