Who is Lena Whitford?

Everything about the title is atmosphere. Sunset, tides, the heart: three images stacked one on top of another, and the promise is mood before plot. Lena Whitford offers Sunset Tides of the Heart on our romance shelf, and it does not pretend to be anything more complicated than what the cover says.

The length is the interesting part. At two and a half hours this is a novella rather than a novel, a form romance has always used well, going back to the days when a story of that size was something you finished in one sitting by the fire. It asks for an afternoon, not a fortnight.

B Fike handles the narration across two hours and thirty-two minutes. Short romance audio has a particular appeal: no plot to keep track of between sessions, no cast list to hold in your head, just a mood you step into and out of again.

Being newly listed, it has attracted no listener ratings yet, so there is nothing to average and nothing we can honestly promise on that front. Judge it on the sample, and on whether the mood the title advertises is the one you are after. It is the sort of thing to keep in reserve for a grey afternoon when something heavier will not do. The current listing is below.
