Broad-Spectrum Romance

The basic components of a romance novel are a central love story and an emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending. Romance novels can be written in a broad range of styles, be set in any place or time period, and will have levels of heat ranging from sweet to extremely hot.

In addition to pure romance novels, many books contain some degree of romance. There is no motivator stronger than love, so relationships are integral to nearly every story, which gives rise to many subgenres of Romance.

As far as my books go, some are romantic suspense or adventure romance; however, I consider most of my novels to be adventure, suspense or thriller, with romantic elements. In Marked in Mexico, while trying to stay alive in an unforgiving jungle Jack and Jessica forge a bond that will last a lifetime and find love neither wanted, but were unable to avoid. Big Horn Storm is a contemporary western romantic adventure that combines a too-close-to-home military crisis, a traumatic accident, a terrifying bear encounter, heart-pounding horseback escapes, and an attempt by Niki and Deuce to reconcile the past and build a future. Deadly Exodus is a dystopian adventure in which a group of young-adults risk everything for freedom and forbidden love. Shrouded in Secrets is an adventure thriller first, however, the hero must bring thirteen mythical relics, reportedly capable of great destruction, together while trying to save the woman who has captured his heart. My most recent project is the Risky Research Series (4^th novel to be released April 9, 2021). Each novel in this suspense series has an individual love story along with a relationship that is slowly evolving over the entire series. My work is diverse, but the one commonality is finding love.

I occasionally host authors on this blog, most of whom write romance. I feature a lot of Christian authors because my publisher is primarily a Christian fiction publisher, but it does have a clean and wholesome imprint which is where my books fall. I also host authors who fall into a more mainstream vein. One of the most recognizable names in romance is Nora Roberts who I use as a gauge for “mainstream romance,” which may be a little spicy for some.

Whatever your romance preference is, there is something out there for everyone, but always check the heat level to avoid disappointment or being offended. I hope you enjoy my adventures and suspense stories with clean romance or whatever book you choose across the broad-spectrum of romance.
