The combo of suspense and romance gets the adrenalin going in more than one way. :-) But I'm truly an historical romance fanatic...including medieval, Regency, Georgian, Victorian...and early American and Western.

The last contemporary that I read and loved, was technically a "new adult" but I got sucked in and I wasn't put off by the young age of the couple. The Year We Fell Down by Sarina Bowen had all of the feels and romance that I was looking for, even though the couple is in their first year or so of college.
