Series background & context
Tall, Dark and Restless is an early Barbara Dunlop series title, and it gives a good sense of what she already liked to write, smart contemporary romance with restless, ambitious characters and fast-moving lives.
The books linked to this series, including Flying High and High Stakes, suggest a world of travel, risk, and people who are not especially good at sitting still. The men are driven. The women are not impressed for long. That combination lets Dunlop work with sharp banter and quick chemistry while still building stories around professional pressure and emotional hesitation.
Even when the setups feel breezy at first, the series mood is about people who are being pushed to slow down and figure out what they actually want. That is usually where the romance starts doing its best work.
If you like category romance with speed, confidence, and just enough emotional mess to keep the sparks real, Tall, Dark and Restless is worth a look.
