ROMANTIC SUSPENSE VS. SUSPENSE WITH ROMANTIC SUBPLOT
Books placed in the romantic suspense category have a lot more "romance" in them than those in the straight suspense category. In general, if a book is reviewed in the romantic suspense section it's make up of 50 percent romance and 50 percent suspense. The books in mystery and suspense are first and foremost suspense or mystery tales, though they often have a romantic subplot that is not the main goal of the story.
