Julia doesn't have anything going for her life. She's 22, never been to college and lives with her grandmother at their failing bed and breakfast. She has low self-esteem and practically no self-confidence because of how she looks, how she lets others treat her.Damien is the blind alpha of a band of misfit wolves. As the leader it's his job to find a place for them to settle, to start a new life for the pack. When he finds Julia, he finds more than he bargained for.Blind Wolf is, okay. It's a rather short novella that doesn't really go anywhere. Julia could be such a likable character if she wasn't written to hate herself. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the way she looks and she needs to realize that. I don't know if the author was trying to put a whole group of women down, but there was no way that Julia's being with Damien was going to bring them up. Yes, he told her she was sexy, and beautiful, but he's blind! Yes, looks don't count for everything but the characters didn't know each other! The whole novella took place over 3-4 days. In those few days they supposedly fell in love with each other, but without delving into themselves. He didn't tell her anything about himself and she didn't tell him about herself. It was all lust and sexual frustration. It just made no sense to me.And one last thing, that cover, doesn't do the characters any justice. It's very misleading. Julia looks nothing like that. The cover model looks to be thin and blonde. Julia is "a bit on the heavy side" with red hair. The model would match Katherine a lot more.
