Touched by Love, The Remingtons #6, Love in Bloom
Fiercely independent Janie Jansen has always believed there were worse things in life than being blind, and she’s spent her life proving it. She’s moved away from her overprotective parents, built a life in New York City, and is one of the top technical editors in her company. That is, until an unfortunate accident turns her life upside down and she’s forced to give up the very independence she’s worked so hard to achieve.
Firefighter Boyd Hudson pushed past his tragic past and is weeks away from accomplishing his ultimate dream―being accepted into medical school. His intense focus on his goal while working three jobs has taken its toll. With a trail of failed relationships behind him, Boyd is painstakingly aware of his limitations and avoids girlfriends completely―a difficult task given his attraction to one of his co-workers.
When Boyd comes to Janie’s rescue, she’s forced to accept his help, and Janie discovers there’s more to the sexy-sounding office flirt than one-liners. Their connection deepens as Janie heals, but it turns out that Janie isn’t the only one who needs healing. Boyd’s painful past comes back to haunt him, threatening their relationship and forcing Boyd to reevaluate everything he knows about himself.

My Review of Touched by Love by Melissa Foster
Wow. It’s not often that a book gives you something you weren’t expecting. Melissa doesn’t disappoint with her newest romance, Touched by Love. Interesting characters, a twist of fate, and a blind heroine make this book a little unlike her other books. Usually we are able to see the setting through the character’s internal dialogue, but with Janie we get a different perspective. We get her perspective on her surroundings and how she uses her other senses, but still knows how freaking hot Boyd really is. 😉
But, honestly, it was a fresh and unique story line and I can see where Melissa would have faced challenges in making sure that the reader still had that imagery in their head, even though the character didn’t describe it through their eyes. Janie was strong and independent, but could she let Boyd into her life? Boyd, Boyd, Boyd. I like his unassuming strength and unquestionable love for Janie and loved watching their story unfold.
I related to both characters because, as with all Melissa Foster characters, they were charming, unassuming and had a relationship that included both family and friends. If there’s one thing that Melissa does well, it’s creating strong familial bonds. Of course, it’s not the only thing, but that and the hot guys are what keep me coming back time and time again.
Touched by Love is beautifully written, has incredibly strong characters, and is a lovely romance. Most definitely a great way to spend a weekend.
