I think this is the first real romantic suspense novel I have read. I love both romance and suspense, even better together. Add some ghosts and you got me. I enjoyed this romantic story that turned suspenseful very quickly. This is the first Heather Graham novel I have read. I enjoyed it. ~~~~ [/i]When Deep Down Salvage begins the hunt for the Marie Josephine [boat] off Key West, it seems like any other dive - until Genevieve Wallace sees the vision of a dead woman in the water. A dead woman who opens her eyes and looks directly at her.[i] [/i]Terrified and confused, Gen is haunted by the memory. But no one, including her diving partner Thor Thompson, believes she saw what she knows she saw. Then a dead woman washes up on shore and everyone assumes this is Genevieve's "vision". Genevieve knows better. This dead woman is definitely not the ghost she countered but another victim of the same brutal killer.[i] [/i]Sensing that the threat of death is coming closer, she and Thor are forced to acknowledge that some things can't be explained but simply are. Somehow they have to link a violent past with a present-day mystery... because if they don't, the power of death will possess them too.[i] ~~~~ One thing about romance novels though (and this is a Harlequin publication), I like the characters to be believable. Two people who hate each other and then all of a sudden they are in bed together with no explanation of the attraction removes the build-up. I wanted more romance in the romance and not just a sudden turn-around with a sexual encounter. But I enjoyed the story and I would read Heather Graham again.

Not heard of this, but I will check it out if I see it. I like the combo of romance and suspense. Even better! I just read a book by John Sandford for the first time, and his was pretty good.

Heather Graham has written a ton of books. I happened to have one on my shelf. I will be getting more at the used book store probably but I have won enough books this spring to keep me occupied for a while.

Romance novels can be quite interesting if they are written well.

Thor sounds like the kind of masculine hero you'd find in a romantic suspense book. It sounds entertaining, for sure.
