  • What are some great adult romantic mystery books?

    Posted by admin on February 23rd, 2010 and filed under mystery books | 4 Comments »

    I love romance novels and I love mystery novels, but I love them more when they’re put together. I do like sex scenes so PLEASE do not recommend any young adult books! No twilight or anything like that. One of my favorite authors is Linda Howard, so if you know of anything like her please, please, please! let me know. Thanx so much!

    hope this helped!

      Enjoy but pleas be careful. These types are very addictive and can mess with your whole life. I am concerned because my sister read nothing but romance, then her life choices were influenced, took a very tragic turn…Please be careful. Try to also read something in the classics that would make you well-rounded and help your sub conscience. (Hope I will not regret answering this)
