Excerpt
We fell through the door, bodies pressed together, lips locked, mouths open in a frenzy of desire. Still kissing him, I yanked at his shirt, pulling it free from his pants and finding his skin underneath. I ran my shaking fingertips over the ridges of his smooth, hard abs and up to his chest and shuddered. Then I kissed him harder, as if I wanted to consume him, and pressed my hand against his chest, feeling the fast, strong thud of his heart. Mine was racing and jack hammering like it wanted out of my body. I felt hot and cold at the same time. I was shaking so much I could hardly stand. Then I didn’t need to. Still kissing me, Jon picked me up. I lifted my legs up and hooked them around his waist, feeling his biceps bunch as he held me. He leaned forward and whispered, “I want you now.”

What makes a good romantic suspense novel? Well as the name suggests it should be a mixture of romance between our hero and heroine and danger. But it’s not as easy as it sounds to get the balance right between the thrills, danger and suspense of the suspense plotline and the chemistry between the hero and heroine. Sometimes the romance is forgotten and you feel like your reading a straight thriller and sometimes the your expecting to enjoy a few plot twists and turns, and a little danger and it turns out to be all steamy sex scenes!
I particularly like stories in which the heroine is an FBI agent.
So just for the hell of it here’s my list of the top five Romantic Suspense stories featuring a female FBI agent.
