It's a fine balancing act when you have separate genres in one book. I just finished a romantic suspense where the killer/villain was obvious on page 1. That tends to eliminate the suspense part of the story. :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08344642824745894237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-77167154973080906622015-05-19T12:42:08.570-04:002015-05-19T12:42:08.570-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08344642824745894237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-47661587454201544142015-05-19T12:21:45.496-04:002015-05-19T12:21:45.496-04:00My favorite type of romantic suspense has main cha...My favorite type of romantic suspense has main characters who each bring something special and necessary to the resolution of the plot. Carolyn's RITA-winning Off the Edge is a perfect example of this. I also want the suspense to be as strong as the romance--no easily solved minor mysteries. Thanks for the post and giveaway. I'm looking forward to Carolyn's newest.
