Responsibility
Joan took responsibility for the care of their home as well as her brother and sister immediately after the deaths of their parents. They had little but their name and dignity, but Joan made their lives function almost as normal. Of course she worked her fingers to the bone and often went without in order to feed the household.
When the moved to the country, Joan took it upon herself to educate the local children, but required the empty hall owned by the fearsome Duke Ashcroft. After an injury from a duel, the Duke lost his sight and was permanently scarred. He agreed to Joan’s use of the hall in exchange for her honest assistance with his correspondence.
Joan’s sister had been humiliated by an Earl she was engaged to marry, and that Earl did not wish to give up his ticket to respectability. What happens when he pursues them to the country? When the duke has already set his sights on the unattainable Joan?
This was well written, but a bit nonsensical. Three stars for this clean romance.

Отдавна не се бях отдавала на удоволствието да чета книга като Bound to the Blind Duke! Но Коледните празници са добро време за всякакви малки радости! Книгата на Tiffany Baton е приказка с много приключения, романтични недоразумения, преследване на любимата и атмосфера като у Чарлз Дикенс - с вниманието към децата и щедростта към общността! Без философски размисли и с елементи на Викторианската епоха, авторката ни среща с герои, които се опитват да следват нормите на обществото, да опазят семейството си, да бъдат активни и полезни за хората в района и едновременно да си дадат шанс за щастие.
Винаги е хубаво да се върнем към духа на приказките, дори на тези, написани днес. Утвърждаването на любовта и на победата на доброто над всички пороци, ширещи се сред дребните душици, носи оптимизъм! И ни стимулира да участваме в повече такива победи!
И четейки Bound to the Blind Duke, не може да не изпитаме задоволство. Един джентълмен по титла, обноски, семейна хералдика и обществено място, в действителност зад вратите на дома си ... и на един друг Дом се проявява като алчен, лъжлив, манипулативен и двуличен мръсник. The Old Money отварят врати и затварят усти пред мъжките му интриги, но нищо гнусно не стои скрито кротко за дълго време. Има и по - заможни и по - властни хора и от най - дребните интриганти и, когато се сблъскат интересите, всеки си получава заслуженото. Поне в приказките и романите, които чета, справедливостта успява да види бял свят! За истинската реалност? Можем само да чакаме!
И, колкото и непопулярно да прозвучи, никъде няма по - голяма радост от това, да се разобличава негодник! Колко повече пъти, толкова по - добре!

I'm fairly disappointed.
The first 200 pages was great! it had the Innocence I love in clean romance! it was a little slow & would have loved to have seen Laurence & Joan court & a few more conversations with them, instead of it just jumping to two weeks later.
my real problem is for the majority of the book after the first 200 pages it was so much of the villain winning & turmoil for all, which was really heartbreaking to read.
Even though it improved in the end, there have been so much misery for everyone, it was hard to bounce back & enjoy the end. Though I did really like the extended epilogue!

HEA
I loved this book from the start!
The story is so intriguing and makes you walk in all forms of emotions: pity, fury, love, satisfaction, wonder, rage, nervousness and so on..
I hate the men that think they have all the power in the world and do whatever they want. You can't imagine the satisfaction I got at the end when everything became black and white!
I loved Joan's dedication for her family and the fact that the Duke saw her true beauty and looked behind the surface and chased his happiness!
I love HEA!!
I want Hugo's story next! 😁😁😁

All about family
All about family, and how one sets to taking care of her own. Dedication, love, and strength bring this story to it's climax. Oh, and what a climax it is, don't miss your chance for another great story.

Wonderful story
I enjoyed this book very much. Joan and Laurence's love story was beautiful. The story was interesting and kept me interested through until the very end. It is one of my favorites.

The story seemed rushed. How did they fall in love? The duke found out he liked her only a few meetings? And I wanted to see Joan interact more with the children. This could have a been a fuller book.

Love Not Lost
Joan Sinclair is a whirlwind of determination, control, and a fierce protective love for her family. The Duke of Ashcroft is a partially blind, recluse, drawn to Joan's firey personality. Join this journey and enjoy the romance and fight unfold. I loved it.

Some of it isn't credible....and our heroine seems to have had a personality change towards the end.....more martyr less feisty....

A simple romance
The story was a quick, light read without angst. A simple
love story that had a villain thrown in to keep it interesting.
