Twas' the day before Christmas in the quaint town of Wind River, Wyoming. Shannon Bannock had just completed her shift of directing traffic for a local parade. On her way home she realizes she is low on gas, so she decides to stop at a local convenience store. Inside there was a man holding a gun on a helpless store clerk. Her Police Academy training immediately went into full force . . . then there was a loud noise . . . then darkness.Rory Daniels was known as Wind Rivers prize catch. He possessed everything a woman could ever desire: good looks, money, and a successful career. Still he remained single - unable to find a woman who could see past his material worth. One ill-fated night he unwittingly stumbled upon a crime scene. A local officer had been critical wounded. Upon closer examination he is stunned to learn the victim is his neighbor, Shannon Bannock. Will he be the 'Angel of Mercy' who can bring her back to the world of the living?With smooth dialogue, gripping scenes, and emotional challenged characters Laurie Paige has created an arresting novel. Readers who enjoy their plot with tons of tragedy which the end result is triumph will be pleased with this creation.

Dynamic and memorable -- Very highly recommended

Detective Shannon Bannock goes to pay for her gas in a convenience store in Wind River, Wyoming, and walks in on a robbery in progress. On the chance following of the town's veterinarian Rory Daniels saves her life when a bullet takes her out. Unfortunately, when the bandages come off some weeks later, Shannon is blind.When Shannon decides she's ready for a relationship, she wants friendship, steadfastness and respect rather than the delirious loss of reason to passion and emotion. With his pretty face and arrogant attitude, Rory does not fit her specifications. Further, they certainly shouldn't be starting a relationship when she's recovering from such a devastating, hopefully temporary, life change.It didn't take Rory long, as he grew up, to realize that females were attracted to his looks, money and family name rather than him. Consequently, he quickly learned to keep his distance. He knows what he wants in a woman: such qualities as soft-spoken, smart, loyal, gentle and safe. Conversely, Shannon is headstrong, brash and argumentative. With the shooter at large, a dangerous element underlies the major life changes resulting from sudden blindness. Rather than yielding to self-pity, this remarkable heroine struggles to regain her independence and to follow her career dreams of switching from law enforcement to counseling. Her strength of character is refreshing, and her ability to accept help without dependence remarkable, resulting in a terrific characterization. Combined with a sexy hero, WHEN I SEE YOUR FACE becomes dynamic and memorable, coming very highly recommended.
