I think romance books are really comforting because they sometimes also talk about some things people go through in life which also allows a connection to form and even give us a new perspective in love and relationships love you haley and very excited for your book

Haley I'd LOVE to see you read from the Christian romantic suspense genre! I recommend authors like Lynette Eason, Dani Pettrey, Colleen Coble, Irene Hannon, Dee Henderson, etc. They're essentially Christian mystery thrillers with a wholesome romance, and I'd be curious to see what you think!!
