It's A Matter Of Style

I’d like to give you a short introduction about the romance genre.

What is the Romance Genre?

Romance stories involve a central love story between characters with a happily ever after ending.

What are the sub-genres of romance?

Romantic Suspense

Born of Bloodshed by A.D.  Jones
Born of Bloodshed
by A.D. Jones (Goodreads Author)
Rate this book
Clear rating
An interesting story about young teens who fight against evil when one of their friends gets murdered. Quite a bit of bloodshed and gore, with an ending that may suggest the story can continue. An entertaining and page-turning read.
Lucy Appadoo added a status update: Romantic suspense lovers!! My 99c preorder, Escaping The Shadows is about a young woman experiencing loss and love that surrounds child exploitation, murder, a sinister group, and secrets within a Spanish setting. Forced proximity trope and psychological manipulation.
