After further research on Romance Suspense in films. I discovered this website:
http://youshouldtoo.wordpress.com/2013/02/12/top-five-romantic-suspense-films/ that talks about romance suspense as a genre in films and how to easily determine whether or not a certain film is a romance suspense. It says in the article, that romance suspense as a genre is difficult to define. The main differences between romantic suspense and more normalized romance movies can be seen the in the setting and events of the films. Often with a romantic suspense film, the romance between a couple is ‘suspended’ due to more pressing issues relating to the situation of the film, these being of a more action, adventure or crime slant.
A movie in particular that they mentioned was the movie RED. This movie features Bruce Willis, starring as Frank Moses, a lonely and listless man whose only happiness comes from calling his pension case worker, Sarah Ross (Mary-Louise Parker from
Weeds fame). Sarah, equally bored, lonely and an avid trashy romance reader, also counts Franks calls as the only interesting things in her life. It is once the movie moves past the first act that the action begins to kick in as Franks deals with an assassination attempt and the ensuing dangers. To speed through the plot, Frank rescues Sarah from a similar fate and meets up with a few of his old working buddies.
