What else makes could make a romance story touching other than a few obstacles that need to be overcome, tossed in the path of the two destined beings? These obstacles forces the two people desirous of each other to dig deep and love differently from those who find the path to happiness easy. Like Ashely LangLove Isn't Blind: A Sweet and Special Romances Collection, who had to had the task of getting a blind man to see with the eyes of his heart in order to love her as passionately as she loved him.This story is about falling in love against all odds. It was a truly heartwarming tale of two people with their own circumstances weighing heavily on them, crossing paths and finding solace in each other. Maggie is pregnant and the father of he child wants nothing to do with her or the baby. She lives a humble existence, eking out a living that isn't the most comfortable by comparison, but Maggie is content and confident that she could still provide a good life for herself and her baby.Maggie is the kind of character that a lot of people can learn from. Jonah on the other hand was rich but even though he could afford all the comforts in life, his wealth could not bring him true happiness and contentment. He was lonely and in need of a woman like Maggie in his life to make him whole. How they met was what really set the tone for the story. Jonah find himself locked out of his business, while he waits for one of his friends to come rescue him, this lovely young woman keeps him company.It really is a testament to fate of how Jonah and Maggie met. A lot of men would not be able to look past her situation and accept her, baby and all but Jonah was willing. He was willing because he knew from the moment she served him kindness in the form of coffee and pie that she was what he was missing in life. He surprises her with a proposal that she promptly refuses but eventually as the story continues she reconsiders.For Maggie, the idea of marrying Jonah was not for the sake of money but for her child. She thought about her child and put the needs of her unborn baby before her own. This story invoked tears, laughter and warmed me inside. I kept thinking of the movie 'Borrowed Hearts' when I was reading it.It's one of those stories that just make you feel good about having spent the time to read it. You stand to learn a lot from the characters which is always a plus in my view. Jonah was a true Knight and Maggie was just inspiring. The erotic bits were very tastefully written and in keeping with the overall vibe of the book.
