Suggestions: If I liked Suzanne Brockmann -- who else would I like?

I love Suzanne Brockmann's Troubleshooter series. I like how she writes relationships. I like how the characters have both physical and emotional flaws. Not all the men/women are hot/beautiful and have perfect bodies (but many do). I like how not all relationships are resolved in one book. And I like the suspense/mystery woven in to the romance. And of course I like the alpha men. :)

I love the way she addresses issus of race, alcoholism. How she has positive gay characters and includes the romance of the gay characters. How she has inter-racial/cultural relationships.

Okay, any suggestions of other authors who might be comparable? :)

Thank you!!

You might wanna give a lookieloo to Catherine Coulter's contemporary suspense, Elizabeth Lowell and Julie Garwood. They have series similar in theme and style.

Thank you! I will look into them.

Cindy Gerard for sure. She's as close as I've seen to Brockmann. I gobble them up!

Thank you! Looking her up right now.

I like Tara Janzen's series too.

oh, Cindy Gerard and Tara Janzen are excellent authors! And I also forgot about Shannon Butcher.

Other authors you may like:

Marliss Melton
Amy J. Fetzer
Pamela Clare - her I-team romantic suspense series
Beverly Barton
JoAnn Ross

Thank you -- I will add these to my list.

There were alot of great suggestions, but I won't bother repeating them. I will try for some different authors.

If you like Brockmann's trait of relationships lasting several books you should check out Suzanne Enoch's contemporary series, starting with Flirting with Danger. They are much lighter than Brockmann, but I like the fact that the main characters' relationship has taken 5 books to develop, and it is still going. The female lead is a professional art thief, and it is interesting to see the roles reversed, with the woman being the one with the risky 'job'. Much like Alyssa.

If you like the teamwork and suspense, you might want to look at Michele Albert. The series features a set special forces mercenary group that specializes in art theft/recovery.

Try Beverly Connor's Diane Fallon series, starting with One Grave Too Many. Although it is sold in the mystery section, it follows growing relationship between the lead character and her boyfriend. It has great characters, as well as mysteries that draw you in.

If you would like to give the paranormal a try, grab Eileen Wilks' Tempting Danger. Her Lupi series is a interesting take on werewolf mythology, very much romance meets urban fantasy. And the series also develops relationships over several books.

Hope this helps. As a fan of Brockmann I know how hard it is to find books on her level.

Thank you! I will check this out.
