Sizzling Romantic Suspense

Submitted by Linda Stevens [1] on Thu, 06/24/2010 - 2:25pm

There's nothing more relaxing than a good romantic suspense novel for a vacation read, even if you never leave the house. You're taken on a vicarious adventure in a setting different from your own and you get a double sense of closure with the mystery being solved and a HEA [2] for the protagonists. If only travel agencies could provide the same kind of trip...

You can always count on Nora [3] or Jayne [4] or Linda [5] to provide a good story, but why not try something new? Have you read any of the romantic suspense authors listed below? Follow the links for their latest.
