I read a large variety
of romance genres, but above all, there must be a happy ending, I'll have hoped
to have laughed during the book, and it has to keep my interest.
It's slightly odd to say an action/mystery comedy romance, but they definitely do exist, and are some of my favourite romances. I've kept going back to these over and over and they kept my attention all the
way. I absolutely love the below action/mystery comedy romance genre,
and I hope you do too!
1. Nerd Gone Wild (The
Nerd Series Book 3) by Vicki Lewis Thompson
She's giving him the cold shoulder…
Porcupine, Alaska was the last place on earth Mitchell
Carruthers wanted to end up. Scratch that. Stuck at heiress Ally Jarrett’s side
as a personal assistant was the last place. Porcupine boasts its share of wacky
locals, but he’s more concerned about the man Ally’s scheduled to meet—her
lowlife, two-faced uncle, who reeled Ally in by promising to help build her
photography career. His real goal is duping her out of her inheritance.
Her uncle’s brought along a world famous
photographer to mentor Ally, but the woman’s a sexual predator who gives
Mitchell chills. Unfortunately, being in close quarters with Ally is giving him
chills of a very different kind. When a blizzard blows through town, trapping
them in their adjoining rooms, their relationship suddenly goes from glacial to
global warming. But with so much at stake, a distraction, no matter how
tempting, could cost them their lives.

2. She Went All The Way
by Meg Cabot
There are a few places
screenwriter Lou Calabrese would rather be than crammed into a helicopter with
Jack Townsend, star of her claim to fame, Copkiller, and
whose ex just ran off with Lou's ex. Talk about uncomfortable. But when,
halfway out to the isolated arctic location where Copkiller IV is currently shooting, their pilot turns
murderous and their helicopter crashes, Lou realizes her day has just gotten a
lot worse.
Now, while family and friends back home fret over her
disappearance, Lou is on the run in the arctic wilderness with America's
sweetheart Jack Townsend and only the contents of her purse, his pockets, and
their mutual knowledge of survival movie trivia to keep them alive. Can these
two children of Hollywood put aside their differences and make it back home
without killing each other? Or much, much worse, actually start to like one
another?

3. Size 12 Is Not Fat
(Heather Wells Mysteries Book 1) by Meg Cabot
Heather Wells Rocks! Or, at least, she did. That was before she left the pop-idol life behind after she gained a
dress size or two -- and lost a boyfriend, a recording contract, and her life
savings (when Mom took the money and ran off to Argentina). Now that the
glamour and glory days of endless mall appearances are in the past, Heather's
perfectly happy with her new size 12 shape (the average for the American
woman!) and her new job as an assistant dorm director at one of New York's top
colleges. That is, until the dead body of a female student from Heather's
residence hall is discovered at the bottom of an elevator shaft.
The cops and the college
president are ready to chalk the death off as an accident, the result of
reckless youthful mischief. But Heather knows teenage
girls . . . and girls do not elevator surf. Yet no
one wants to listen -- not the police, her colleagues, or the P.I. who owns the
brownstone where she lives -- even when more students start turning up dead in
equally ordinary and subtly sinister ways. So Heather makes the decision to
take on yet another new career: as spunky girl detective!
But her new job comes with few benefits, no cheering
crowds, and lots of liabilities, some of them potentially fatal.
And nothing ticks off a killer more than a portly ex-pop star who's sticking
her nose where it doesn't belong . . .

4. Royally Endowed (The Royally Series Book 3) by Emma
Chase
Logan St. James is a
smoldering, sexy beast. Sure, he can be a little broody at times—but Ellie
Hammond’s willing to overlook that. Because, have you seen him?? Sexy. As. Hell. And Ellie’s perky
enough for both of them. For years, she’s had a
crush on the intense, protective royal security guard—but she doesn’t think he
ever saw her, not really.
To Logan, Ellie was
just part of the job—a relative of the royal family he’d sworn to protect. Now,
at 22 years old and fresh out of college, she’s determined to put aside her
X-rated dreams of pat-downs and pillow talk, and find a real life happily ever
after.
The Queen of Wessco
encourages Ellie to follow in her sister’s footsteps and settle down with a
prince of her own. Or a duke, a marquis…a viscount would also do nicely. But in the pursuit of
a fairy tale ending, Ellie learns that the sweetest crushes can be the hardest
to let go.

5. Jamie (Visitation Book
5) by Lori Foster
It's not that the
woman in his arms is naked. It's not that he's carrying her up a mountain in a
driving storm. What bothers Jamie is that the unconscious redhead is an
intruder, someone who could bring him harm. He has his reasons for hiding out
in this stark, secluded cabin; for keeping his emotions under wraps; for never,
ever getting too close to anyone. But before she passed out in his bed, she
said her name was Faith--an appropriate name since he has to take her at her
word. Who is she? Why is she here? Who sent her? And what is she doing to him?
Jamie's used to feelings of wariness, isolation, of being on guard. What he's
not used to is this dangerous, nearly uncontrollable new emotion raging through
him like a man on fire.
