There's no doubt that Nora Roberts is a legend for a reason as she writes truly gripping romances across many subgenres. I was lucky enough to finally discover her in 2011 and it was Nora who not only introduced me to good romance, but to captivating romantic suspense. In 2012, I pretty much binge-read all of Nora's romantic suspense novels and buying books quickly became very expensive. But I have no regrets.

So upon the release of her latest standalone suspense title Under Currents, here is a list of my top 5 romantic suspenses by Nora.

Romance novels, especially category romance, are easily defined by 'tropes', a quick summary that immediately tells you what sort of love story you're going to get. There's the romantic relationship tropes, like marriage of convenience, accidental pregnancy, and best friend's sibling. Then there are more character tropes, like royalty, cowboy, and billionaire. Either way, the moment you identify one of these tropes by the title, cover, or blurb, it can be an immediate indication of whether you're interested in the story or not.

So these are just my top 5 tropes that will always grab my attention.
