Cali M. (This is an older book, discolored and a bit dinged up but in tact and a read I really enjoyed! =)
Lady Saura of Roget is breathtakenly beautiful, wealthy, intelligent, and living a live of servitude to the stepfather who controls her life. All this, and she is blind as well. She has been summoned to the castle of William of Miraval by his father Lord Peter. This magnificent Knight, Lord William, had been struck down in battle and now was blind.
Who better, to lead William back from the depths of his depression than another blind person, one who could teach him how to deal with his affliction. Saura was brought to William thinking that she was an elderly housekeeper for the castle, and the ruse kept up for quite a while as she slowly tore down the walls, William built around himself. Half way into the book, William does regain his sight, then he must do the healing, and the earning of Saura's trust as he becomes enraptured with this beautiful maiden as treachery abounds as a madman seeks to destroy both William and Saura. Exciting, and breath stopping suspense!
As usual for a Dodd historical, the passion and love scenes are hot. The secondary characters are a delight right down to the faithful dog, Bula! Fabulous story -

Dana (This was an overall okay story. William's sexist attitude early on in the story made it hard for me to like him. Saura, on the other hand, was an unusual heroine who is easy to admire.
There were a couple of times in the story where it really felt like it could have ended since things wrap up and everything's mostly hunky dory. It was like the author was starting out with a shorter story, but just made it drag on instead.
Which leads me to how I found it annoying that the "stalker" takes so long to be revealed for who he is when his actions should have made it obvious.
