SuperWendy: This does sound interesting! I can’t remember the last time I read a romantic suspense that had more of a “espionage”-style plot (seriously, how many serial killers are there running around in RomanceLandia?).

If you're looking for a break from serial killers, this might be up your alley. The espionage plotting is pretty cool, though it does cross somewhat into the realm of the super secret special forces stories that seem to proliferate.

Oh the Amber Room. I’m sold! I’ve been there – where the room is, but the amber is not.

I adore romantic suspense, but it is usually better in a longer book. The category books I read are generally straight contemporaries.

Fay, category romances are the small romances released every month by publishers such as Harlequin like Harlequin Superromance, Harlequin Presents, Harlequin Romance. If you look to the right of this page, there is an example of one – Reconcilable Difference by Elizabeth Ashtree.

Ummm, what is a “category romance”. I tried to use Wikipedia (so as to avoid asking an ignorant question with my name attached), but they were no help today. Maybe there are others out there who are also at the “Romance 101″ stage. Thanks!

I signed up for the 2012 read 12 new authors. I thought that the book I was reading now for review would count but discovered the author is using a pseudonym and I have read a couple of her books. However thanks to a friend sending two boxes of books discovering a new to me author shouldn’t be difficult plus I have two gift certificates for Amazon.
