    Love is Blind

    About this audiobook

    He'd been warned that Lady Clarissa Crambray was dangerous. Stomping on toes and burning piffles, the chestnut-haired beauty was clearly a force with which to be reckoned. But for Adrian Montfort, Earl of Mowbray, veteran of the Napoleonic Wars, this was just the challenge he needed. He could handle one woman and her “unfortunate past.” Could any woman handle him?

    Lady Clarissa Crambray wanted a husband, but maybe not as much as her stepmother wanted one for her. Really! Doffing her spectacles might make a girl prettier, but how would she see? She'd already caused enough mayhem to earn a rather horrible nickname. Yet, as all other suitors seemed to shy away in terror, there came a man to lead her to the dance floor. A dark, handsome, blur of a man.

      I enjoyed Adrian & Clarissa very much - particularly before their wedding. About the only complaint I have is some humor bordered on ridiculous (referring the wedding night pie/lock/key discussion), but that didn't deter me. I'm glad I gave Lynsay Sands a second chance and I will probably read more from her again.

      I could stop until it was over. I really enjoyed the book.
    • 3/5
      I loved the historical aspect but had no idea there would be so many sex scenes!
      Made listening impossible whilst in the car with the kids.
      The main characters were endearing.
      And I have a new word… PIFFLE! ?
    • 5/5
      Amazing forbidden courtship. Steamy and sweet and so much love between the two leads, nearly from the beginning. Swooned again and again.
    • 5/5
      I’m a big Lynsay Sands fan whether it’s her Highlander, regency or Argeneau series. I was delighted to find one of her books that I had yet to read. I thoroughly enjoyed Love is Blind. The hero and heroine are endearing characters. Their romance is sweet and charming with lots of humor. I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed Justine Eyre’s narration. This is a keeper!
    • 4/5
      Nice read! Childish, but it was just what I needed ?
    • 5/5
      Lyndsay Sands never disappoints. This was a sweet story that almost had me believing love is blind. Clarissa was so forgiving and good hearted.
    • 3/5
      The premise of this historical romance is that the 'evil stepmother' won't let the heroine wear her glasses so she's effectively blind. This leads to many mishaps as she mistakes gentlemen's laps for tea trays, and you get the idea. Adrian is the only gentleman to see past Clarissa's issues but then he has problems of his own that Clarissa's vision troubles alleviate. It's a sweet story with an unfortunate side plot of someone trying to hurt Clarissa that didn't work for me. It's still a good book, but I thought it might have been better without the murder attempts.
    • 3/5
      The characters are not all that bright, and the plot was transparently predictable. But, it did make me chuckle quite a few times
    • 5/5
      I love Lynsay Sands' writing. I could re-read her books over and over again. :D
    • 5/5
      Lady Clarissa Chambray is a clumsy embarrassment to her stepmother, Lydia, who is desperately trying to marry her off while her father is away on business. But it's not Clarissa's fault! Her clumsiness is cured when she can use her spectacles. However, her cruel stepmother breaks them so she won't wear them around eligible men, convinced they make Clarissa hideous.Hideous is a term Adrian Montfort (who happens to be the Earl of Mowbray) has gotten used to since returning from war with a scar across the length of his face. He escaped several seasons in his country estate but, at the nagging of his mother, he has returned to society in the hopes of securing a marriage. Meeting a beautiful eligible woman who cannot see anything, much less his scar, seems almost too good to be true. Once he discovers that many of her accidents do not add up, he is set on a mission for her protection and her heart.Apparently, I'm on a historical romance roll, but I don't mind.  Especially when I simply adored each of them! This book was recommended to my by a friend and the first book that I have read by Lynsay Sands-I loved it! I thought it might just be a regency romance but there were plenty of obstacles for Clarissa and Adrian to overcome not just together, but with the help of their supporters. There was adventure, mystery, romance, and best of all-forgiveness. I loved Clarissa because she is determined to not let anything get her down, she sees the best in everyone, protects those closest to her, and is quick to forgive. She reminded me of Cinderella (my all-time favorite Disney Princess) at times, which may have added to my fondness for her. I had a very difficult time putting this book down as it did have a fast pace as well as many moments where I had to muffle a laugh.I would recommend this book for fans of historical romance as well as for those who enjoy reading about characters overcoming adversity.However, I would not recommend this book for readers who are offended or triggered by mild foul language, explicit sexual scenarios, bullying, violence, and infidelity.

      Lady Clarissa Cambray has a reputation for clumsiness, what no-one knows is that this could be easily fixed if her step mother hadn't broken her glasses, without them she's almost blind. Her step-mother is convinced that men don't make passes at girls that wear glasses, and they definitely don't want to marry them. However because she can't see properly she keeps stumbling over things and spilling things so now she has a reputation for clumsy which is driving off prospective suitors.Adrian Montfort, a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars, scarred and looking for a wife, he finds himself intrigued by the plain-spoken Clarissa and they find themselves drawn more and more to each other as time goes on.I really enjoyed the story and the two characters dealing with each other and perception and doing it well.
    • 5/5
      I liked the relationship between the characters
    • 4/5
      A dollar store book that I picked up because I recognized the author. Then I read the back. Heroine who needs glasses and isn't allowed to wear them! Scarred hero! Two of my favorite tropes! Yay!This was VERY good, the conflict within the couple was very realistic, the hero was selfish, but recognized it and made up for it, the heroine was understandably insecure, not crazy and annoyingly insecure like many heroines. The overarching "mystery" was obvious and pretty much unnecessary since the rest of the book as so good, but that wasn't a big problem. The heroine was a bit too sexually naive for my taste, but the sex was still very hot and well written.very enjoyable, glad I own it since it will be a reread.

      comedic. sweet.
