Sandra Brown has also pretty much left the romance genre behind but may of her late 90s through now books do have a small hint of romance.
You may also want to give Nora Roberts' single suspense titles a try (for example: High Noon, Birthright, River's End, Northern Lights, The Search, The Witness). And her In Death series she writes as JD Robb, which is quite a bit darker than her books as NR. I usually recommend people read the first three books (Naked in Death, Glory in Death, and Immortal in Death) to determine of the series is for them. I say three because I know a number of people who didn't like book 1 who kept reading and still enjoy the series.

Romantic Suspense is my favorite sub-genre right now. I pretty much like the entire spectrum from dark to humorous.
I haven't tried Tami Hoag and believe it or not I have never read a Nora Roberts or J.D. Robb even though I have several ready to try. I haven't tried Sandra Brown yet but I have bought a few recently now that her backlist has been on sale. I see that Brown's
The Witness (1995) is on sale now for $1.99. Should I get this one too? How 'bout that, I snuck a bargain into a recommendations discussion!
Another series that is more romance driven but one of my favorites is
Pamela Clare's I-Team novels. I'm anxiously awaiting the next one scheduled for release in Nov.
