Blind Love

Samantha helps her sister-in-law out during a flu epidemic by cleaning guest rooms at the estate her SIL and brother own and manage. In doing so she comes across guest Cesare. He is recently blind and full of self-pity. She is the first person to talk to him like he's a person, not a blind person, which Cesare appreciates. She is also the first, and only, woman he has been interested in since he became blind. There are unable to stop the mutual attraction and they have sex. She leaves the next morning before he wakes up. Neither knows the other's name (even though Cesare tried to find out) until Sam runs across an article on Cesare. She confronts him to tell him she is pregnant. At which point he proposes. Cesare is a millionaire and determined to get his way. Samantha has a confidence issue because she believes that if Cesare could see, he wouldn't be interested in her as she is not "his type". Before I read this book I read the reviews on here, and despite some negative ones, I read the book anyway. I'm very glad I did because it is a great book. I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was well written, exciting, sexy, romantic. I wanted to know what happened next. I was not disappointed. I would give this book 4.5 stars, but can't do that so I rounded to five. Still a great read and I highly recommend!

Even when he was blind he could feel and believe she was lovely. It was also very interesting reading how they met, the baby and the ex-model girlfriend who wants to make trouble for their marriage.

Loved it!

This book was one of the best Harlequin novels I've read in a long time. I've read a lot Harlequins in my lifetime and I am hard pressed to remember liking two characters as much as I liked the hero and heroine in this book. I have never bothered to write a review before but I just had to let people know about this gem. If you are looking for a well written romance with a hero that you will adore, then this is the book for you. The hero is strong, sexy and loyal. He's also totally into the heroine. The heroine is witty and spunky and you won't be able to help but root for her. This is the kind of book that will send you searching through the archives checking out previous releases by the author. While I have read plenty of books by this author and liked alot them, I can't recall a novel where she ever gotten things soooo right.
