Hmm. Do you prefer humorous mysteries a la Janet Evanovich, or the darker style of the J.D. Robb books? Do you like romance with your mysteries? Tell us a little more about what you like - we'll give you LOTS of suggestions!

Yes, i am looking for a crime/romance combo - and i prefer a series.

I like both - funny - but it also can be a little bit mor serious.

As long as it is a mix of romance/crime - i am happy :-)

I do prefer Janet over JD - but both are great.

Thank you for trying to help me!

You might like Jayne Ann Krentz - her books combine mystery, romance, adventure and some have humor, too.

i checked them out, and they seem okay, but its not really a whole series, that keeps on going.

she does have a series "Arcane Society Series", i could give it a try, but im not really into the whole magic or vampire thing.

is there anything else that you can recommend?

thank you again!

ps: i know it is not easy - i have been searching for a while, but i cant seem to find anything lol

Some of her books are in a series and others stand alone. She also writes as Jayne Castle and Amanda Quick. Her Arcane Society books are written both under Amanda Quick (the ones set in the past) and Jayne Ann Krentz (the contemporary romantic suspense ones).

Mary Stewart is a classic author you might like. There are so many authors I hardly know where to start, but here's another: Elizabeth Peters. Like Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb and Jayne Ann Krentz/Jayne Caste/Amanda Quick, she writes under a couple of pen names. Here are some of the books she wrote as Barbara Michaels:

Be Buried in the Rain

Sons of the Wolf

Here I Stay

Vanish with the Rose

House of Many Shadows

Wait for What Will Come

Ammie, Come Home

Stitches in Time

Smoke and Mirrors
