Ethan, Who Loved Carter by Ryan Loveless

Someone mentioned A Study In Scarlet Women by Sherry Thomas, which has a gender-bent Sherlock Holmes. He and the woman learn to communicate with each other via text message.

I’m also seconding His Road Home by Anna Richland, which was a lovely story where the hero has aphasia stemming from a TBI. Seconding Love On My Mind, I’ve got it on my Kindle, and haven’t read it yet (my TBR is fearsome, you guys), but I bought it specifically because it has a hero with autism. Telling me a book has a hero or heroine with autism is a good way to make me go full-on alert otter. :::rubs hands together::: I have two kids with autism, boy and girl, and work as an autism consultant for a university. The heroine has autism and has a magical connection with the ocean, and I’d definitely classify it as a paranormal romance. These differences can include those labeled with Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Dyscalculia, Autistic Spectrum, Tourette Syndrome, and others.Īmanda: One of the books featured in the sale post mentioned above was Water Bound by Christina Feehan ( A | BN | K | AB ). …a concept where neurological differences are to be recognized and respected as any other human variation. The historical plot was so awesome that I still rated the book at 5 stars, but I found myself skipping through the contemporary parts as they seemed heavy-handed to me.įor this post, we’re using the definition of “neurodiversity” from the National Symposium of Neurodiversity found on the neurodiversity Wikipedia page: It was nice to see the representation, but unfortunately I felt like all the conflict and tension of her plot was due to that, which wasn’t great. A Desperate Fortune, by Susanna Kearsley, comes to mind, as the contemporary storyline features a heroine with Asperger’s. Is there a Rec League for romances with neurodivergent heroines? There aren’t many that I can think of. This Rec League request was spawned by a comment from Dread Pirate Rachel.
