9 heart-pounding romantic suspense books
There’s nothing like a good romantic suspense novel to get your pulse racing.

Here are some great stories that have that perfect blend of heart-thumping, blood-rushing action and romantic entanglement—whether the relationship reaches its pinnacle during the rush, or culminates after they’ve solved their problem.
