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.
Combining romance with suspense can be tricky and requires a fine balance between nail-biting tension and dramatic true love. If the plot is too blood-curdling or leans towards a thriller, the truly romantic at heart may lose interest. On the other hand, a love story without some spine-chilling suspense can easily be too boring or predictable. The secret lies in building a strong and realistic story line around both main elements.
The majority of contemporary novels, set in specific times, eventually become irrelevant to modern readers and go out of print. The exception, such as the work of Jane Austen, are often reclassified as historical romances. Where heroines in contemporary romances prior to 1970 usually quit their work when they marry, modern-day heroines are career-driven and keep their jobs.
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.

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.
