About the author
Annette Broadrick
213 books42 followersAnnette Broadrick was born on November 26. Her mother read to her until she read to herself. From that time on, books became her closest companions and teachers. She was an only child until the middle of her 16th year when her sister was born.
She married immediately after high school graduation in the middle of her 18th year. Twelve months later she had her first son. She ended up having four sons in seven years. People with children do not need to explain what their life was like for the next 20 years. Those people without children do not want to hear about it. Early on, she became a secretary to supplement the family income. Eventually she became a legal secretary and for 25 years she worked for attorneys in Arizona, Texas, Illinois, and Oregon.
Her love of books followed her throughout her career as a mother and a secretary. By the time her youngest son graduated from high school she decided to write a book of her own. After writing in a spiral notebook for six months, she rented a typewriter and rewrote the book, showed it to a creative writing teacher, who was also a friend, listened to her critique and rewrote her story. Next she showed it to another avid romance reader and carefully listened to her critique. She rewrote her story once again. Next she mailed the manuscript to the Silhouette office in New York. Two months later she received a phone call asking if she'd be willing to do extensive revisions, including cutting one hundred pages. She said yes. This was in January 1984. By the time the book, Circumstantial Evidence, came out in November of that year, she had sold a total of six books.
Since October 1984 Annette has supported herself with her writing. Her career as a published author has also supported her reading habit and in the past five years she has managed to establish a quiet life in the Hill Country of central Texas that soothes as well as stimulates her. She hopes to continue writing the kind of books that readers enjoy.

I didn't really like this all that much. I thought it was far too unrealistic. The love that blossomed between Damon and Elise seemed fabricated, and the fact that Damon never had any sort of trouble with his blindness and that he was fine and accepting seemed odd. Also, there were several lines where "Damon's gaze pierced her," but Damon was supposed to be blind! I did like certain parts of the story, and I did like the characters, but I thought the build-up to their relationship was poorly done.

I really enjoyed this book. Makes you think what you would really do without one of your senses like sight after having it for so long. Witty and romantic are a perfect combo.

This one was pretty good, tho all these category romances seem kind of flat now. I like that he gave her space and didn't pressure her to come around to what HE thought.
