Louisa Shelby’s two sisters have both already found happiness. Now it is her turn, although initially this does not seem likely. The Dowager Viscountess Wade has hired Louisa as a companion, even though the viscountess apparently does not need one. Maybe it is her grandson who in fact does, as he has recently lost his sight due to a riding accident?

If you want a change from alpha males and battles of the sexes, try this more tender love story. Simon has to come to terms with his disability, and Louisa has to find a way to quash the rumors that are spreading about her past. It is an uplifting story in many ways and reminds me once again how many different types of romance there are. Rather unfortunately, the sex scenes toward the end of the novel seem to have been slotted in because they are expected, and don’t add anything to the story except a jarring note. However, as long as that is not your main reason for reading romance, this tale ought to satisfy for less physical reasons. This is very much a tale about two people finding happiness, and that is why I enjoyed it.
