On this list:
5 The Bodyguard by Katherine Center
We chose ‘The Bodyguard’ because it has just the right amount of flirt, danger, fake-dating, and a plot twist that made us spill our coffee (twice). It’s a romantic suspense series starter that is perfect if you love snappy banter, high stakes, and a heroine who can literally sweep you off your feet. Also, it’s actually on Amazon—promise we checked while eating chips.
4 Cut and Run by Mary Burton
We picked ‘Cut and Run’ because it has everything you want in a romantic suspense series: tense mysteries, snappy romance, and characters who know how to handle both sharp objects and awkward flirting. It keeps you guessing, plus there are enough plot twists to make your head spin and your coffee go cold. Bonus points for strong, realistic heroines and banter you wish you could copy in real life.
3 Mercy by Julie Garwood
We picked ‘Mercy’ because it’s got all the juicy bits that make a romantic suspense series memorable—an FBI agent, a small town, and more secrets than our group chat. Romance hits hard, the suspense keeps you guessing, and the banter made us laugh out loud. It’s a classic, and you’ll find it easy to read, even when your cat is sitting on your lap.
2 Mr. Perfect by Linda Howard
We picked ‘Mr. Perfect’ because it’s classic romantic suspense with a side of humor. It keeps you guessing who the bad guy is and mixes in sizzling romance. Our book club couldn’t stop texting about the wild plot twists—and the absurdly awkward dinner scene. If you want laughs, thrills, and a story that zips along, this one’s a winner. Plus, it’s on Amazon, so you can grab it without leaving your couch.
1 Cry No More by Linda Howard
We picked ‘Cry No More’ because it packs romance, danger, and so much heart, we barely remembered to eat. Its emotional twists kept us glued. You’ll root for Milla and Diaz, and probably need tissues. This is a must for anyone hunting for a top romantic suspense series book on Amazon.
