DS2 (aged 10) is an avid reader but only likes romantic books (lots of falling in love). He mostly enjoys the sort of books written from the perspective of teen girls sighing (and more) over hunky teenage boys. We don't find many of those in the child section of the library so he has started borrowing from the teen/young adult section of the library. Trouble is that some of the books he has borrowed have been steamier than I would like (verging on the downright explicit). I used to think that we shouldn't agonise too much about the quality of the books our kids read, the key thing is that they are reading but with this I am not so sure. I wouldn't take that line with magazines on the top shelf of the newsagents for example.
Anyway can anyone suggest good romance books for older children that focus more on the romance side than the sex?
