`Love isn't Blind' is one of Sandra Ross' sweet sensual romance stories.  It is more romantic than erotic, but there are some hot sexy scenes that fit appropriately with the story.  These romantic stories are a little tamer than some of her other erotic books and they all have sweet storylines involving love.  This particular story focuses on Ashley and Anthony.  Anthony is blind and can't seem to understand how any woman could really love someone who couldn't even see them physically.  Ashley sees Anthony for what he is; a lost, lonely write who just happens to be blind.Anthony seems to think that his disability is a burden to women and he refuses to let himself fall in love, until he meets Ashley.  He is everything that Ashley wants in a man, and she just can't believe that he feels that he would be a burden to anyone since he is so intelligent, creative, and attractive.  At first I was a bit put off by his attitude because he seemed to be self-pitying, but as the story progressed I realized that he actually was just afraid to give his heart completely to someone when he wasn't sure that they could fully love him back.I thought the doubts that Anthony had were natural and very touching.  It is hard enough finding someone to share your life with, but doing so while trying to find someone who is comfortable with a physical disability can be daunting.  The story flowed well, and had a lovely ending that was very hopeful and full of promise.  The characters were very likeable and very realistic, with flaws and quirks just like real people.  Plus the romance was just the right amount of steamy for a romance novel!I don't really read a lot of romantic stories, but this is one that I would recommend to my friends.  It had a real old school romance feel to it, but in a short story format.  It was just long enough to be entertaining without being so long as to lose my interest.  I like the realistic feel that the story had; it kept the book from being too unbelievable.I thought that Anthony sounded very attractive with his piercing blue eyes.  I love guys with blue eyes!  I thought that they sounded like the perfect couple and it was interesting that they were both writers.  I found Anthony's career choice intriguing since he had only become blind late in life.  I would have liked a little more background story on Anthony, but not having it did not detract from my enjoyment any.  Over all, this was a great little read for anyone who likes realistic romance stories with a lot of heart.
