Looking for a romantic tale to draw you in, tease and captivate you, and stimulate at least four of your five senses? Look no farther than Sandra Ross's sweet and special romance, "Love Isn't Blind."Aspiring writer Ashley Randall takes employment as a full-time, live-in assistant to celebrated mystery writer Anthony Lang. She is to live in his mansion so as to be available whenever his muse may strike, at whatever hour of the day. Her main duties are to transcribe his words and perform whatever research he will need for his current book. Why can't he just do this himself? He's blind. That's right. An accomplished blind writer of mysteries.Formerly a high-profile FBI agent, Anthony Lang lost his sight during a government operation where something went tragically wrong. Not much is revealed about Lang's past and history leading up to his misfortune, but he is delivered through Ross's words as a man who overcame the odds, defeating his disability and continuing to make a name for himself and accomplish his own dreams.He is intelligent, kind, and sexy. Ross's descriptions of his physical appeal make it easy to see why a young and similarly attractive girl like Ashley would fall for him, despite his disability. But although Anthony's feelings for her are more than conspicuously mutual, he pushes her away. He does not want or need anybody's pity, and although she may not be pitying him, he truly feels that she deserves better. That he is not capable of fully providing her with the love she needs. Because he cannot "see" her in the literal sense of the word.This makes no difference to Ashley, and she is determined to love him all the same. Will Anthony be able to swallow his pride and let her in? Will Ashley be able to continue to love him fully despite his disability? Will the couple be able to overcome nature's realities and obstacles and thrive together? Sandra Ross delivers, yet again, beautifully crafted characters in an emotionally unique tale of love, while still fitting in the perfect amount of zesty love scenes that are both steamy and sensual. You'll just have to read to see.
