Looking for a romantic tale and stimulate at least four of your five senses? Look no farther than Sandra Ross's sweet and special romance, "Love Isn't Blind."Sandra Ross goes above and beyond in telling us the romantic story of two totally different people wrapped up in a unique romance with one another. We always read about an attraction simply based on the physical and I think it would have been nice to see the true reason behind her attraction to him.Sandra Ross has written yet another beautiful love and passionate love story. Her characters are believable, and it's hard not to fall in love with them and want them to succeed. Love isn't blind is packed with love and sensuality, but also with some real eye opening morals. Love may not be blind, but it loves us because of our greatness and flaws.On the surface, "Love Isn't Blind" by Sandra Ross seems like the standard workplace romance where a beautiful woman falls in love with her gorgeous boss and they both battle against the odds to be together.Love Isn't Blind is a sweet romantic story about Ashley and Anthony. Ashley Randall and Anthony Lang are perfectly paired for a business relationship: she's an aspiring writer looking to further her career and he's a blind writer in need of an assistant to help him with his research. But upon their first meeting it's apparent that the pair has is matched for more than a simple business partnership. They have the makings for a relationship of another kind - one which is full of romance and passion.Ross has created a moving passionate love story that deserves a spot in the heart of any who enjoy this genre. I'll admit this story was a little on the short side, but despite its size it says a lot.The blind Anthony doesn't think that he could ever be in a relationship without just being a burden to the woman he loves. He didn't plan on getting into a serious relationship, but then he met Ashley. When Ashley falls in love she does it with her whole heart, and isn't the kind to let a once in a life time opportunity pass her by, but will she be able to convince Anthony that she loves him for everything he is, and that by working together they could build a relationship of love, passion, and trust?The setting of "Love Isn't Blind" is perfect for romance. In the very opening scene, Ashley moves into Anthony's house, and moments later she's brought face-to-face with this attractive, intriguing man for the first time. The chemistry between them is thick, and Ashley's narrative lends the reader insight to her thoughts as she meets this man who will change her life.As a result of careful attention to detail and dialogue, the characters in "Love Isn't Blind" are believable and quite realistic. Ashley's dialogue and inner thoughts read very much like a true person's would. Her thoughts are logical and craft her as a detailed and complex character. The same can be said of Anthony in that he has multiple layers; his blindness adds realism and intrigue. He's not your perfect, ideal, flawless man - he is, in fact, flawed, and that's what makes him interesting.If you're looking for a story with more than just romance - a story which has a plot line, a purpose, and something to be learned - then this one could be for you.Ashley Randall is a strong, vivacious woman who goes to work as the live-in personal assistant for former FBI agent turned writer Anthony Lang.Anthony is smart and kind, and his charisma and humour in the face of finding himself newly disabled makes him instantly irresistible. From the moment Ashley and Anthony meet, their chemistry jumps off the page and there's no question that they are drawn to each other.I love that Ashley and Anthony are perfectly matched for each other, both talented and strong and each going toe to toe with the other. My only problem with Anthony's actions here is that he does not give Ashley the opportunity to decide for herself what is best for her. Like Ashley, I found myself becoming more and more frustrated with Anthony's belief that he and Ashley should not be together because of his blindness. When Ashley is finally able to make Anthony "see the light," I couldn't help being happy for her, finally convincing the man she loves that he is worthy of her love. And Anthony finally realizes that though he must live a life without sight, he does not have to live a life without love.These two characters strengths and weakness are matched perfectly. A person feels the need to keep reading to see if Love truly isn't blind.Sandra Ross' "Love Isn't Blind" is sexy and sweet, romantic and above all else, hopeful. It is the story of a man who loses his sight but who realizes that love does indeed conquer all.
