If you also have a bit of an adventurous side--and enjoy tropical breezes, a spunky heroine and fearless hero, and the smell of coconuts--you may like my fantasy romance SONGSTONE.* Readers of Inspirational romance and sweet historical romance seem to particularly enjoy THE LANGUAGE OF SOULS. If you've enjoyed THE LANGUAGE OF SOULS and don't typically read young adult books, you may like AIRE and that would be a good next book to read. * SONGSTONE is a romantic, lyrical island fantasy novel, but please note that it does touch on some darker subjects, such as abuse--even so, the overall tone of the book is redemptive, with a positive focus on overcoming the odds.* HAUNTING JOY is a short, breezy contemporary YA novel with a sweet teen romance and light (as in NOT dark and scary) ghostly elements. Maybe THE GHOST WHISPERER for teens?CONTENT RATINGSLena Goldfinch's books are G/PG rated (sweet/clean reads):...no explicit sexual content...no profanity...no graphic violence...a guaranteed HEA
