Lovely, deep sigh... that's all I could do as I finished this book by Teresa Medeiros.

Gabriel Fairchild has returned from the Royal Navy a scarred, hard man. Thinking that his "love" ran away from him upon seeing his wounds and loss of sight, HE runs away to the country, denouncing all civility, family and friends.

Samantha Wickersham is determined to nurse Gabriel back to the proud, honorable, dashing young man he was before the war. Her fortitude, wit and integrity help her to heal his wounds, salve his soul and teach him to live (and love) again.

Together Samantha and Gabriel prove that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, even a blind beholder. And that love conquers all.

This book is intensely passionate, with strong characters, a tender story-line and a touch of mischief. By the end of the first chapter, I was so captivated by the hero and heroine that I couldn't put the book down.

Re-read again and found my self drawn to each character as if it was my first read. Beautifully done. Really enjoy the story builds up, a beautifully and unexpected surprise.

a MUST read

A good read. The twist in the middle will surprise the unwary. Love is blind would be a good sub-title for this story.

Such a great love story - makes you sigh and your heart smile. I have recently discovered Teresa Medeiros and I have yet to find a story that I don't like. A wonderful writer - you truly feel the love the characters have for one another. These two characters, Gabriel and Sammantha are absolutely wonderful - the romantic tension was unbearable at times, but truly a story worth reading. The story has a kind of Beauty & the Beast and Jane Eyre feel to it - but with a twist! I highly recommend it!

I read this book in one day and enjoyed every minute of it. It has the classic "Beauty and The Beast" theme which happens to be a favorite of mine. Samantha was a spunky heroine who's quick wit and spunk made her the perfect match for her impatient patient. Gabriel was a hero to be adored. Unlike most "wounded" heroes who choose to sulk and mope about - Gabriel's defense was witty sarcasm and a beastly temper. He was a complete ass and I simply adored him!

I found myself laughing out loud several times throughout the book and even came close to shedding a tear or two.

Highly Recommended!

There is something familiar about his nurse. Gabriel Fairchild has gone blind in the service of his country, but he is hardly resigned to it. He blunders through his house like a bull in a china shop. He has chased off nurses by the score, but Samantha Wickersham is different-- she seems un-scareoffable. And there's something familiar about her that Gabriel just can't quite put his finger on. And she's very soft and warm... and did Gabriel mention familiar?

This is the first book I've read by Medieros and I loved it! The story plot was pretty original and the writing was great. There didn't seem to be any dragging, she kept the plot moving along, and I wanted to keep reading. If life didn't intrude, I would have read this in one sitting:)

Gabriel Fairchild's valor during battle earns him the reputation of hero, but costs him both his sight and his hope for the future. Abandoned by the fiancee' he adored, the man who once walked like a prince among London's elite secludes himself in his family's mansion, cursing his way through dark days and darker nights. But prim nurse Samantha Wickersham arrives at Fairchild Park to find her new charge behaving more like a beast than a man. Determined to do her duty, she engages the arrogant earl in a battle of both wit and wills. Although he claims she doesn't possess an ounce of womanly softness, she can feel his heart racing at her slightest touch. As Samantha begins to let the light back into Gabriel's life and his heart, they both discover that some secrets- and some pleasures-are best explored in the dark...
A great read!

A Victorian romance in which not everyone is exactly who they seem to be . . .

I LOVE this book, is keeper for me. I loved both the H/H. They were strong and very loveable characters. I can totally understand why the heroin did what she did and said to the hero for him to prove her that he was worthy of her. Later when she realizes how foolish it was of her to say that to the hero, she owns up to it and help the hero out.

I would highly recommend this book to historical romance lovers.

Incredible romance. Read it in one sitting. You will not be disappointed.

This book is a bit different. A story line of a man who loses his site and his love. Without giving away a HUGE twist in the story, which rocked.... I will say that it that is an extreemely romantic story, that you do not want to miss!!!! In case you don't like h/h seperations, the h/h do get seperated at the end.

This was my first book by Mederios that I tried, and I have to say (even loving vampires and the paranormal) that this was the best I have read so far. It was not your typical nurse-the-hero-back-to-health-with-love story, and that made it well worth the time.

Great book!
Blind from the war and feeling betrayed by his love, Gabriel hides away in his mansion. Nurse Samantha is determined to change this beast back into a man with new-found light in his darkness.
