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 thoughts:
I've read a LOT of Melissa Foster's books, and this is by far my favorite of her books. The descriptions in this book are amazing, specifically since most of the descriptions are touch or scent based (since Janie is blind). This also made for much much hotter scenes of intimacy, because it's so much easier to immerse yourself in the scene without the visual descriptions.
Janie is definitely a very independent woman. She also has a stubborn streak a mile wide, since she's spent her whole life proving to the world that she can do things by herself. Boyd has spent his entire life focusing on one goal, and he doesn't want to give it all up for a woman.
A freak accident on the subway makes Janie dependent on other people for a change, and Boyd is happy to come to her rescue (and nurse her back to health). But their lives are moving away from each other at neck breaking speeds, so will they be able to sustain a relationship? Or will their ships pass in the night?
This book can be read as a stand alone book, and it seems to have less character crossover than many of Melissa Foster's other works, but I still recommend reading them all! You won't regret it (until you get to the last book and are forced to wait for the next one to come out).
