This story is beautifully written, good prose, fine description and relatable characters. It is properly executed and the description of the setting and the characters are actually imaginable that it made me want to live in Anthony's estate and be his secretary!But I love Ashley, too. She is your average woman who had her own doubts and frailties but faced them head on to reach her happy place regardless of her personal conflicts. The hero is a man oozing with sex appeal but is blind and afraid to burden anyone because of his disability.I like how the writer tells the story and how Ashley's attraction for Anthony is clear in their first meeting despite Anthony's blindness. For Ashley, it is not an issue. He is every inch a man regardless of his disability. This made me love Ashley all the more!This is a short story but it gradually progresses the attraction of the characters to each other until they reach its fulfillment. I think that the right word is `gradual' and for a short story to actually achieve this is impressive. Most of the times, when I read other short stories, they left me hanging or wanting something more. Love Isn't Blind actually satisfies my curiosity and made me accept the love of Ashley and Anthony for each other as something not forced because of a the limited number of words.Love Isn't Blind has hints of being a melodrama - gee, a blind man and an orphaned woman? But Ross's prose and style of writing is the best part of the story.This is something I would recommend to my friends to read.
