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.

3. If I Should Die by Allison Brennan

The only thing more disturbing than the discovery of the corpse is its sudden disappearance. While the local police remain skeptical, Lucy is dead certain that there’s a connection between the sabotage at the resort and the murder—one that the less-than-neighborly citizens of Spruce Lake seem to have a stake in keeping hidden. Then, when a cold-blooded sniper targets Sean and Lucy, FBI agent Noah Armstrong enters the fray to ensure that more bodies don’t hit the ground. Now three outsiders race to untangle a violent conspiracy before they end up like the rest of Spruce Lake’s secrets: dead and buried.
