When Laynee Conners dad takes her from the one home that she knows, she thinks this is finally the chance to bond with her absentee father. Little does Laynee know that her father is taking advantage of her being blind and plans to leave her in the woods to die, in order to collect her inheritance.
When David and Eric Rivers overhear the plot to murder an innocent they quickly find her and bring her into their protection. David and Eric realize they have both found their mate but how do you explain that you are shifters to a woman who has had her whole life turned upside down. When it seems the father is intent on seeing her dead, her men will do whatever they can to protect her.
I was a bit disappointed, there are so many characters introduced my mind was swimming. I liked the parts with Laynee, David and Eric but found Laynee to be a bit of a contradiction as she on one hand is uncertain about trusting and on the other just hands it completely over to men she met in the woods. It was a bit over complicated for me would probably try another in the series though.

When David and Eric Windriver find a beautiful blind woman lost in the woods it is the beginning of an adventure that leads to intrigue, attempted murder, revealing of their shifter nature and finding a mate for the pair.
David and Eric are both shifters and were adopted from an orphanage at a young age by the Wind Rivers and accepted into that wolf pack, however David isn't a wolf shifter like Eric and his adoptive parents he is a Kodiak bear. They have been called home to Wyoming because of some missing shifters.
Laynee has been blind her whole life, when her mother passes away when she is a child her father packs her off to a special boarding school for the blind that is until he shows up shortly after her 21st birthday claiming it is time she come home and take her place in the family, but first they are going to go camping.
Blind Acceptance the only book so far by Missy Martine about the Wind River Pack. Being the first I was surprised and the number of seeming back stories that had no real explanation. I have to assume these stories connect prior series to this one. What it does however to someone that reads this as the first book by this author is confuse them and leave them with a lot of unanswered questions.
The main story about David, Eric and Laynee is pretty standard paranormal meets human mate fair. It was a cute story and had some steamy moments including a menage mating. The secondary plot about her father and her money is also good but standard not a whole lot to make it stand out as exemplary.

This was a great book and it had a little change to it. Yes it is a book about shifters but it is about more than just one kind of shifter. The family in the Wind River Pack doesn't have any problems with having several shifters in the pack. They also have bears, eagles and coyotes.
In this ménage story Laynee is blind and has been in a school since she was five years old. Her dad comes to bring her home after her grandpa dies. It's not because he finally wants a relationship with his daughter. He just wants the money that her grandpa left her. He has a plan on leaving her in the wild and letting a wild animal get a hold of her.
Eric and David hear about what Laynee's dad is planning and go to save her. When Eric's wolf smells her he knows that she is his mate and when David's bear smells her he gets the same feelings.
I can't wait to read the rest of this series. There is more going on here in this pack then we find out in this book.

Quite a few irritating author quirks here for example, having your characters speak to themselves when they are alone to 'tell' you what they are thinking - I'm pretty sure that is what thinking is for. Also, the substitution of wanna and gonna for every instance of 'want to' and 'going to' for not just one character but ALL of them ground down to just about my last nerve. That said, I knew what type of book I had picked up before I started reading it and I did manage to finish even if I did skim a bit, unfortunately it just wasn't up to the hopeful standard some of these types of books manage to attain.

I won this book in a giveaway.
5 out of 5 Stars
What did I like?
I like that though the heroine has an obvious handicap it doesn't stop or even slow her down. I like that the heroes make time for her individually as well as working on their group dynamic. I love how they suggest ways to help her (paperwork in braille) rather than try to take over, they let her learn her way.
Recommendation: Loved it!

"living in a world with little blind acceptance"
First time I raised my brow, second time I rolled my eyes, third time I wanted to throw the book across the room (but didn't to save my e-reader).
Seriously?! Does she have any clue about people who are blind or visually impaired?! And what little acceptance? Except for her father everyone accepted Laynee's lack of vision.

Fantastic
This is the first book I have read by this author, and I really enjoyed reading it. I loved the characters. Laynee was great. I liked the fact that she was blind but was not handicapped, and while she let the men help her, she did not rely on them for everything. She was still very independent. I can't wait to read the next in the series.
