I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Her Imaginary Lover by Doris O’Connor grabbed my attention from the blurb and I crossed my fingers that it would live up to the expectations set by this intriguing blurb. I am so happy to report that Her Imaginary Lover was everything I hoped it would be. Ms. O’Connor impressed me with her creativity and imagination.Macie Johann has been blind since birth but she’s never let her disability stop her; until one night when she is attacked on her way home by men taking advantage of her blindness.  Macie is rescued by a muscle bound hunk that seems familiar. Her savior turns out to be her childhood imaginary friend, Kaylom. Turns out he’s not imaginary, but he’s not exactly human either. Macie knows that Kaylom and she are meant to be together but there are so many obstacles to a happy ending.Macie was a fascinating character and I loved how her blindness was not used as an obstacle but instead just a part of her such as her hair color or height. Being unable to see did not hinder her determination to win Kaylom and did not detract from her inner strength. Macie was a smart, independent woman with a successful career. It was very easy to cheer for her to find love.Kaylom was everything you would want in an imaginary friend, but as a real life lover he exceeded my hopes. In addition to being well built, strong and alpha, he was protective of Macie and willing to sacrifice his own happiness in order to ensure her health and safety. I think I fell in love with Kaylom almost immediately and wanted nothing more for this couple to be together.I was so enthralled with Her Imaginary Lover that I read and finished the book in one sitting. The book had everything I could want in a romance novel - original storyline, fascinating characters and hot sex. Ms. O’Connor really knows how to write steamy sex scenes that are off the charts hot but still include love and caring that raises the lovemaking to another level.Her Imaginary Lover is a novella coming in at about 75 pages which is my only complaint because I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to Kaylom and Macie. I wanted more of Arthura and maybe some more hunky imaginary friends. Maybe Ms. O’Connor could write a new series about these imaginary friends? Oh well, a girl can hope.
