If you have shied away from biographies, autobiographies and memoirs for fear of them being too dry, we sympathize. It is a genre that is tough to measure up to thrills of reading a chilling thriller or mystery or even a historical fiction (or science fiction/ fantasy) that can carry you away to a different world. But biographies, autobiographies and memoirs can bring history to life and tell a story that is both compelling and dynamic.

If you like a mystery/thriller with a blend of romance, then the genre, romantic suspense may be for you. Some romantic suspense stories maybe heavier on the suspense whereas others maybe heavier on the romance, but they all deliver a fast paced story complete with looming danger and full of tension.
