Does anyone remember...

Somewhere I read that an agent said she'd be really interested in a romance novel from a male point of view.

So, two questions:

Does anyone remember where, and who it was? and...

For those of you familiar with my book, could it be pitched as a romance novel that happens to have a murder mystery in it? And should it be?

What about calling it romantic suspense? Or does that not quite work?

I don't know. And that's the problem.

I asked Kathleen Ortiz in the Ask an Agent discussion, so I'll see what she says.

The romance is what connects the two main characters, but it's not the source of the suspense.

It's rather like a slower, more in-depth look at Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, who appeard in four novels - in the first they met and fell in love, then they're middle-aged and looking for excitement, then they're older and thinking about buying a vacation home, then they're even older and they buy a retirement home. I've got outlines for five stories, and they only get married in the last one.
