Mankind's need for love and romance will always be one of the strongest driving forces. This need is also reflected in the ever-growing popularity of and demand for romantic novels. This literary genre has, however, grown to encompass a wide field of sub-genres to add some intriguing plots and thrills to the more traditional romantic novel. New suspense romance novels perfectly blend romance with mystery, murder and mystique.
Since contemporary romantic novels usually reflect the era when they are written, modern readers often cannot relate to the characters and story line in older novels. As a result, most of them eventually disappear from the scene. The few exceptions that stood the test of time, such as the works of Jane Austen, are mostly re-classified as historical romances.
Traditionally, romantic suspense involves a plot or mystery that the protagonists must solve. The heroine is generally the victim of a horrible crime or a ruthless psychopath. She works with a hero who is typically in a career field most suitable to protect her. In the end, they solve the mystery and the time and ordeal they shared lead to a strong romantic relationship.
It is not an easy feat to keep a balance between a blooming, romantic courtship and nail-biting suspense. As in all romances, a realistic relationship between the protagonists must form the heart of the story. Their courtship must impact all their decisions as it build the intrigue and propels the story. On the other hand, the nature of the plot must also directly affect their relationship and move the story forward.
Romantic suspense novels generally have more "clean" language and less intimate, emotional descriptions used in traditional romances. They are also more plot-driven than focused on character descriptions because mystery is an essential part of the plot. Paranormal romances, again, use elements that are popular in science fiction and fantasy novels.
Acclaimed author Mary Stewart was one of the first novelists who opened the door for today's trend of spicing up passionate romance with a strong scoop of intrigue and chilling terror. She managed to keep a perfect balance between building a strong courtship between the two main characters while maintaining nerve-racking suspense which directly affected their relationship.
One of the exciting new-comers on the front of the paranormal romantic novel is debut-author Melba J Flournoy, whose fast-paced psychic romantic novel A Matter of Trust caused a big stir in literary circles. Born and bred as the only daughter of middle class parents in the rural farming area of Georgia, Melba Flournoy-Moon spent almost 20 years as a teacher for children with learning disabilities.
A good example of the latter is the fast-paced romantic suspense novel A Matter of Trust by Melba J Flournoy. The book was praised as one of the best paranormal suspense romances to date. Featuring a tough heroine with strong psychic powers, hell-bent on saving a young girl and her own reputation with the help of a Navy Seal, the book has all the ingredients for a gripping read - humor, intrigue, romance and suspense with an entertaining paranormal element.
