BLURB: Stan has never let his blindness hold him back, but he’s beginning to realise his love life is keeping him from moving forward.
He can’t remember a time when he wasn’t in love with his best friend. Rafferty is everything to him—his partner in crime, his confidante, and the person who understands him best. But Rafferty is incapable of reciprocating Stan’s feelings.
As a successful wedding planner, Rafferty is passionately committed to helping newlyweds begin their happily-ever-afters, but after a rootless childhood he’s equally determined not to seek his own. How can he trust in love and marriage when so many of his brides and grooms are repeat customers?
Stan is the glue that keeps the pieces of Rafferty’s life together, and as such Rafferty has always kept Stan safely in the friend box where he can’t lose him. However, lately that conviction has wavered and now Rafferty is bursting with complicated feelings for his best friend. The timing couldn’t be worse because Rafferty has realised he’s in love with Stan just as Stan is moving on.
My Review: I received a copy from GRR Tours in exchange for an honest review. I tried to read book one but was unable to really get into it (mind you I was on a science fiction binge at the time) so I was very glad to know that this could be read as a standalone.
I enjoyed this book, but not as much as I had hoped from the blurb. I agree that the descriptions of Stan's blindness, and how he coped with his 'limitations' (he actually didn't let the blindness limit him too much too be honest) was excellently done, however the relationship side just didn't feel right as a love story to me.
I also wish there had been less of a feel of the 'moving on' being in there just to add the 'Rafferty realises he loves Stan' moment.
I won't say anymore as I don't want to put off anyone who likes Lily Morton's books or just wants to read a romance about a blind man living without limitations.
