Sight Unseen
by Barbara Cutrera
Marketing consultant Beth Panera thrills at the prospect of working with computer engineer Logan Kirkland to make his new business, Sight Unseen, a success in Sarasota, Florida. When they meet face-to-face and Beth discovers that Logan is blind, she welcomes the opportunity to learn how someone who is visually impaired can live independently and run his own business. Despite her hesitation when it comes to trusting men, she and the sexy, charismatic Logan become fast friends, comfortable with each other and their unique talents and quirks.
Once the Sight Unseen store opens and their business association ends, they decide to explore their relationship on a much deeper level. Logan’s blindness and society’s preconceived notions about it are only two of many difficulties that they face as a couple.
Beth comes to think of Logan as her “blind warrior,” a strong, handsome, honorable man she loves in spite of her fear of betrayal. However, it becomes clear that Beth is not the only one in their relationship who has trust issues to resolve. Logan’s greatest challenge lies ahead, and Beth’s blind warrior must fight the greatest battle of his life if he wants to win her heart forever.

Favorite Quotes:
I’m dying to know.
Spice up your mother’s world, and tell me if being with a blind man was
different than being with a sighted man.
If you did want to try it, we could write books
about BDSM and the blind and call them Fifty Shades of Black.
My only choice is to do everything to the best of my
ability, so people don’t think I’m worthless because I can’t see!
My Review:
Other than
the obvious issues, I have never given much thought to the specific challenges
complete blindness from birth would entail.
If I had never viewed color, a sunrise, a delicate flower, how would I
ever grasp the totality or feelings these items invoke? Sight
Unseen gave me a bit of perspective regarding this and for that alone, I
thank the author for the insight, and then I want to thank her for the
entertaining and heart-squeezing tale. The
writing was descriptive and comprehensively detailed, whether it was a visual
scene, task, or event. The storyline was
interesting, engaging, and emotive, regardless of what side you stand on the
various challenges or social issues presented.
And oh how I adored these characters - I would snap Logan up in a
blink. I am more than curious to see how
the family issues and unresolved challenges will evolve and be handled in subsequent
books. I also found a new word for the
day, which is something that always excites me, as I love new vocabulary - Blindisms.
