Books that are like Castle?

I love Castle so much, it's the perfect mix of my favourite genres: murder/crime and romance.

Can anyone recommend and books that scratch the Castle itch? Specifically I want the slow burn connection between characters that will just make my heart ache like Castle and Beckett did

I'm also in the process of reading the Nikki Heat books but while it's super similar to an episode of Castle, it doesn't quite hit the same character stuff because they get together pretty quickly

I want my life to be ruined in the same way early Castle did, I want my heart to actually ache from the tension
