Today's October 18th task for #bookscoasttocoastoct is to share something for #ThrillerThursday. I don't think I own any thrillers! 🤔🙈 But I do have #RomanticSuspense books, and they're thriller-like! 😄😍❤ . . . . Pictured above I have eight books of Romantic Suspense by five authors (really just four, though). The top row contains what are arguably my most favorite stories by Jayne Ann Krentz & Nora Roberts. 😍❤😍 Sadly, I don't yet own Year One by #NoraRoberts, which might truly be my TOP favorite book of hers. 🙄 Has Year One been released in mass market paperback, yet? 🤔 . . . . Row Two begins with my most favorite books by #ChristinaDodd & #LindaHoward, respectively. And then I have two of my other favorite stories by Amanda Quick, who is #JayneAnnKrentz writing historical romantic suspense! 😄😍❤😍 . . . . Apart from the two #AmandaQuick books* (#ThePaidCompanion & #WaitUntilMidnight), all of the stories are contemporary, although some are more truly contemporary than others. #TheWitness (2012) & #BecauseImWatching (2016) were published this decade, within the past 6.5 years. #FallingAwake* & #NorthernLights* were both published 14 years ago, in 2004. #AbsolutelyPositively* & #NowYouSeeHer* were published last century, though, in 1996 & 1998 respectively. 😄❤ . . . . I really love all of these stories. I've read the * six of them so many times I've lost count. 😍❤😍 . . . . I used to read a lot of Romantic Suspense by lots of different authors, but after Linda Howard's Cry No More I stopped and started reading mostly Urban Fantasy. I haven't read a new Linda Howard book since. Why? Because Cry No More shattered me so completely that I can STILL remember what happens in that book. And I read it ONCE nearly 15 years ago! 😲 . . . . For years, I would only read romantic suspense by Jayne Ann Krentz and Nora Roberts. But in 2017 I saw a Facebook post from @jayneannkrentzauthor raving over her friendship with and the new book by @christinadoddbooks, so I gave Because I'm Watching a read and fell in love. So now there are THREE authors of Romantic Suspense whose work I read and collect! 😄❤ . . . . #DogsofInstagram #bookstagram #books https://www.instagram.com/p/BpGPdnnnig4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=174dhy6hscg05
