Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Sometimes I just want to read a book where true love triumphs in the end.  Romances do that for me. 

Love Is Blind by Lynsay Sands is a funny, sexy, Regency romance.  Clarissa Crambray is having a tough time finding a husband.  Her step-mother has forbidden her to wear her spectacles, which makes it extremely difficult for her to see.  Her extreme near-sightedness (something I can really identify with) has caused her many a clumsy and humorous moment with potential suitors, although the suitors don’t find the situation funny at all.  This has happened so often that most have been warned about her.  However, things start to change for the better when she meets Adrian Montfort, the Earl of Mowbray, who has some issues as well.  He came back from the Napoleonic Wars with a disfigured face.  Both are self-conscious about their appearances.  Yet it is encouraging to see two hurt and lonely souls find each other.

A sweet and pleasant read.
