Contemporary
-- Suspense
With
so many romance writer's moving into the romantic suspense and women's
fiction murder/mystery sub-genres, I decided to split the Contemporary
Reviews into 2 separate categories -- Suspense, which you'll find here
listed alphabetically by author's last name, and Contemporary Romance,
which is all the romances that are not series or suspense. I've also included
general suspense fiction here.
Listings with  beside them are recipients of the RTR
Reviewers Award! Click on the star to visit the awards page.
