An amazing story of how two people come together who needed each other desperately. Lily Whitefield had been corresponding with Wythe Radcliffe for two years. After her accident, she felt she would never marry and the one man she had loved, was now courting her sister.
Wythe had his own imperfections and thought he'd not find someone to care about him, and not just his finances. He finally got up the courage to ask Lily to marry him, because he felt such a connection to her.
With the wonderful words of Sandra E Sinclair and the voice of narrator C J McAllistar, I fell in love with these two and their journey to finding true happiness in each other.
Now off to grab my next one by this fabulous duo!!

Lily has to get away, the thought of watching her sister marry HER beloved was far too much to to bear! Wythe’s been corresponding with Lily for two years, and though they’ve never met, he thinks she’d make the perfect wife! Can these two scared, and damaged souls find their way to forever? No spoilers. I’m not telling! “Blind Affection” is a beautifully written, fabulously narrated love story that kept me throughly in the moment, completely engaged, from beginning to end! I loved THIS plot! There was romance, a bit of intrigue, and some deliciously well placed humor! My interest never wavered! I have to say, I was really pulling for these two to overcome all the obstacles, nefarious individuals, and adverse circumstances in this delightful, beautifully written story. I really loved the characters, well, most of them! I’ll not say who the exceptions were, but know all were fantastically defined and developed, and the ones I wanted to drown in a horse trough really deserved it, honest! The narration that brought these characters and this beautiful story to life was fantastic! Five stars all around!

Love and misunderstandings. Lily was accidentally blinded on the day her mother died, and subsequently the man she expected to marry became engaged to her sister. Wythe had his leg crushed in an accident and had a peculiar gait but the worst was the totally obnoxious response by the girl he had been courting. Lily began writing to him in response to his ad in a lonely hearts column and after two years she was at her wits end with her family and decided to go to Wythe and marry. Things started remarkably well until complications arose. That's it, no spoilers!
The best part is that I have the audio! It's great when a romance author chooses a man to be narrator, and even better when said narrator has a pleasant voice, obvious sensitivity, and is skilled in audio performance. That would be C.J.McAllister. Well done!

Physical injury leaving a lasting and visible mark remains somewhat of a stigma, at least in the minds of the injured. I mean, there it is, staring at you, right? Now go back a hundred or more years. That need for outward appearance becomes even more socially critical. So, although this is a sweet romance, the story is, underneath it all, a parable of acceptance, first of oneself and then of one's fellows. As voiced by narrator C.J. McAllister, author Sandra Sinclair's Mail Order Bride story is a bit cagey about how our heroine achieved her stigmatization, falling from favored nonpareil to family embarrassment, but, once disclosed, action commences to a satisfactory conclusion. Pity party to party hearty?

This is a sweet, clean romance that is so well written I felt like I could see everything that was happening.
I loved that it dealt with self-image after injury. It's easy to underestimate the lasting affects of and injury that causes someone to see them-self differently. I though this was used very compassionately and yet accurately.
I really enjoyed the romance between Lily and Wythe, they're such a good match for each other.
The narration is smooth and flowing and the character voices are clear and distinct.

Friends First..
This book centers around Lily, the female lead, and Wythe, the male lead.
Both leads are looking for the same thing but they don't realize it at first.
Overall, a sweet romance with extremely likable characters.
C.J. McAllister did well with the narration.

I loved listening to this book. The story of two blemished individuals finding love by way of Lilly being the mail order bride. The main characters show each other that compromise, caring and not giving up during hard times is true love.
C.J. McAllister voiced the story well giving life to these characters and their story.

Lovely Romance
This was a lovely romance of two people who feel inadequate due to each having disability, and feeling no one will consider them a suitable match. The characters were well-written and an interesting plot with secondary characters that enhanced the story.

Super short, which was nice. Clean, but not preachy, which was ideal. The storyline was enjoyable and the characters felt real.
My real troubles came because it felt like it wasn’t proofread at all! Bad and/or missing punctuation everywhere, lots of weird sentences that didn’t flow or had the wrong word in them, and some that you couldn’t tell who was speaking or who they were speaking to or about.
Plus she wasn’t really blind, which was not what I was expecting going in, so it bugged me.
