Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

There is 'Outlander' which has a strong female character in Claire. She is a modern woman thrown back in time, and she refuses to be submissive to the patriarchal norms of the era she lands in. The romance in the story develops while she maintains her own identity and values. This makes it a great feminist friendly romance novel.

Look for female characters who have their own goals and ambitions outside of the relationship. For example, if the female lead has a career or a passion that she pursues regardless of the male character. In a good feminist friendly romance, the relationship should be a partnership where both parties contribute equally.

The characteristics include the exploration of female desires. These novels don't shy away from what women truly want, whether it's emotional, sexual, or related to personal growth. They also tend to break gender stereotypes. For instance, the male characters can be shown as being vulnerable and the female characters as being strong - willed and assertive. Also, feminist romance novels often have plots that revolve around female empowerment, like a woman standing up against sexism in her community or workplace.

One characteristic is strong female protagonists. These women are independent thinkers and doers, like in 'The Handmaid's Tale' where Offred, although in a very difficult situation, still has an inner strength and resistance. Another is the challenging of traditional gender roles in relationships. In 'Sense and Sensibility', Elinor and Marianne both have their own views on love and marriage that go against some of the common norms of their era. Also, feminist romance novels often deal with issues like women's education and equality, as seen in 'Middlemarch' where Dorothea's pursuit of knowledge and meaningful work is an important part of the story.

Sure. 'The Kiss Quotient' by Helen Hoang is a good one. The female lead has Asperger's and she takes charge of her own love life. Also, 'Red, White & Royal Blue' by Casey McQuiston features a male - male relationship but still has strong feminist undertones with both characters being independent and equal. 'The Hating Game' by Sally Thorne also has a feisty female lead who doesn't let the male character walk all over her in their office romance.
