HSP Friendly Books - Romance
Sharing the love this summer
To read fiction for an empath or HSP (highly sensitive person) is a risky business. Some images and situations can overload our antenna and send us running to the hills. I have been reading a lot lately. And I thought it would be great to have a list of fiction books that are nice readings, or come with the disclaimers.
Many HSP read young adult (YA) fiction as a form to stay on the safe side. Some are good, but the subjects are not necessarily the ones an adult empath would be interested in.
In this lens, I am going to focus in HSP and empath friendly romance. I think it is a great way to spend the summer. This is a selection of some of the books I read and liked. I might add more as time goes by.
Disclaimer: I read most of my books in kindle, so some of the titles here might not have physical versions. Also I like to search new writers, most of the titles will be from indie authors. All the books reviewed were at a time or another in the top 100 Best Sellers of Amazon (some on the paid list and some on the free list).
Contemporary Romance
I like romance with real people, or at least interesting. I chose for this lens stories out of the Cinderella theme. Cinderella is good story, but not as interesting as to repeat it again and again.. and again and again...
I also like stories where people grow, and where the characters are reasonably intelligent.
For this section I chose five very different stories. I hope you like them.
Double Trouble - Kindle and Paperback
Trailer
All for a good cause - For Kindle
Escape to New Zealand by Rosalind James - Awesome series
I downloaded Just Good Friends on a free day, and got hooked by the whole idea. The books are placed in New Zealand, they are HSP friendly romance. The main characters are ladies from US and different members of the famous All Blacks, the rugby team of New Zealand.
Each book is different, the characters are awesome, the locations amazing, and there are no unnecessary misunderstandings. On the background the author let us know different pieces of the "Kiwi" culture, what is very fun.
There is explicit sex in this series, so be warned.
Historical Romance
This is a very large group, it includes anything before the industrial revolution. I haven´t read much of these yet, but there are a couple interesting enough to share.
Most books of this type cross the erotic line to explicit sex. I chose some that stay reasonably polite, even when there are some steamy scenes.
