At First Sight

by Cameron Hart

Tucker: I’m fine. I don’t need any help. I only have these bandages on my eyes for a week. I’ve never needed anyone, and I don’t plan on changing that now. But then my neighbor knocked on my door. I’ve never met her before, but I want to now. Her soft, sweet voice hits me right in the chest. I feel an ache deep inside, a profound emptiness I didn’t know I had. I’m broken, bitter, and a bastard to boot. Try as I might to shake off my intrusive yet intoxicating neighbor, she keeps showing up and taking care of me. I might have to see if I can make her stay forever.

Mila: I like to keep to myself. People tend to judge me by my weight, my scars, and my general lack of people skills. When I have to leave my apartment for food and supplies, I stick to the shadows, trying to navigate life unnoticed. But that doesn’t mean I don’t notice other people, especially my tall, dark, and stupidly handsome neighbor. I wouldn’t say I’ve been stalking him. I mean, I know his schedule, when he checks his mail, and where he keeps his spare key hidden. Under the doormat. Seriously? I know all about hiding places, and that one sucks. When I hear him take a spill through our shared wall, I have to go over and see if he’s okay. I somehow find myself over at his place day after day, falling more and more for the grumpy butt with the surprisingly sweet streak. Will he still want to be with me when his bandages come off, or will he run away like everyone else in my life?

AT FIRST SIGHT is all about a quirky, curvy woman caring for her grumpy, growly alpha of a neighbor, and in turn, letting him heal her scars that are more than skin deep. As always, there's plenty of sweet, lots of heat, and just enough drama to keep things interesting.

[Darlene I read WAY to many books · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been loving Cameron stories. This one i gotta admit did make me tear up at few parts.. not super bad.. i didnt think it would hit me.. but it did. With some steam and DOGGIE LOVE!!! who doesnt love Dogs in novellas.

Tucker had a accident at work causing him to be blind temporarily, he is grumpy and frustrated with this and he takes a tumble causing Mila who is his nextdoor neighbor to come knocking. As for Mila girl.. i love her she been through some tough things and has the scars to show.. she has some burned marks on her body that causes some people to be dicks. She rather be by herself and her dog Sargent, but she wants to help Tucker since she has seen him around the apartments she just hopes once he has his vision back he can accept her. They have a rocky start since Tucker doesnt want her help or anyones but it doesnt stop her from calling him out and helping. They grow closer but Mila does take a mini step back when it gets closer to his appointment to take off the bandages. She tells Tucker her story and lets him feel the burn marks 😭😭😭😭. And she's scared he would leave her because of them. AND TUCKER SHOWS HER HE DONT FUCK AROUND!!!

I love it.. Tucker is that alpha that shows his girl he's beside her no matter what. I love Tucker.. and Mila. ❤❤❤

Romantic, cheesy and steamy. I loved this couple. They both had scars but they healed each other. Heroine was so lovable and kind. Hero is blind for most of the book but he falls for our insecure heroine and makes her feel like a queen. Safe: virgin heroine, celibate hero and no cheating. Epilogue is nice. Hero proposes and she tells him she is pregnant.

Yes it was instalove..
and super cheezy...
Yes they said I love you too fast!

BUT I DONT CARE!

Because I loved this! It was so fucking cute! I was giddy most of the time. It was heart warming and fun to read.
I enjoyed it so much!

He was a sexy grumpy ass I hate this world kinda guy!
She was a voluptuous sweet and innocent a bit of insecure girl.
Add a super cute dog?
Perfect!

And the food. It is true that THE WAY TO A MAN'S HEART IS THROUGH HIS STOMACH.

But it was the same way with us girls too, right?

Nothing beats a man who can cook!🤭🤭🤭

This book is indeed a perfect way to write an instalove. I salute you Cameron Hart!

I am sure I will re-read this again.

The couple: Tucker and Mila

Romance genre: neighbors
Length: 109 pages

Plot: Tucker is homebound while he recovers from eye surgery, left blind until the bandages come off. Mila is his neighbor who is trying to be friendly and helpful, but Tucker is grumpy personified. Mila wears him down though, with a cute dog, food, and relentless cheerfulness. But Mila is scared that when the bandages come off, he won't like what he sees. Tucker already sees her though, the real person that she hides from others, and he won't let her go now.

Commentary: Sweet, sweet, sweet. We all have things we're insecure about, and Mila is no different. It's understandable, after her college experience, that she would be worried about Tucker's reaction. I thought it was interesting that his friend reacted so positively to her when he came by and I was hoping that would boost her confidence (maybe it did, I don't know). Also, her food sounded really good and it made me a little hungry!
I like most of this author's stories, and this was no different!

[JudyAnnLovesBooks · Rating 5 out of 5]

“At First Sight” is a deliciously sexy, sweet, steamy read by one of my go to authors for novella length books. This book will fulfill that craving for a quick and satisfying afternoon read.

Mila is a beautifully broken woman, suffering from both physical and emotional scars that she hides behind. She has curves for days and a heart of gold and has secretly been pining for her sexy neighbor.

Tucker is also beautifully damaged, a difficult childhood and a lack luster history with women has left him bitter and cold. All that changes when his beautiful neighbor helps him through a difficult time.

Watching Mila and Tucker fall in love and heal each other’s damaged hearts and souls makes for a fantastic read. Not only is this a book about love and happily ever after, it’s also about acceptance and understanding. TBR and enjoy.

[Apoorva · Rating 5 out of 5]

I know this was insta-love
I know this was incredibly cheesy
And I know they said "I love you" too fast.

I know I hate all those things but this was so fucking cute, I just had to let it go. I enjoyed this book so so so much. I'm now convinced that there is a perfect way to write insta-love and this. is. it.

19/06/2020 reread: Yes I reread this book only 9 days after I finished it. It's one of a kind and it's just too good to forget.

16/12/2022 reread: I opened the book's information page to read this again and realized someone has literally copied my review HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA like holy shit. But yes, rereading it was cute. I did take a star off, but I still did like it. It's a nice insta love novella

[Birdie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Tucker and Mila! Man, I really felt for our h in At First Sight. I relate to her in so many ways, my heart just broke for her... she's so fragile and vulnerable in certain aspects, but so strong and so courageous to put herself out there with Tuck even when she expected rejection. I love the way Tucker is with Mila--patient, kind, strong, trustworthy--he didn't push her but he also didn't let her hide from him. Just a totally swoon worthy H. This author is new to me, this is only my second book by the author and I know I'll read more.

It was short and sweet with insta-love, but it had depth too. I really liked Mila and Tucker and how they overcame their insecurities, vulnerabilities, and past traumas to heal each other. I always seem to really enjoy this trope (where characters fall in love before they get to see each other or one of them), this is the first I've read of this author and I thought she did a great job with it.

This is how I felt reading this book: 😍😍😍

I love reading about characters who learn to lobe again and grow as people, and I definitely read that in this book.

This was such a beautiful and elegantly (with some very steamy scenes) written love story that I would recommend yo every romance reader out there.

[BookFox · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely adored this book! Mila was a shy quirky heroine and I loved her. She made me giggle with her dog’s name and nicknames. Tucker was so freaking sweet. They both had issues that they had to overcome and thankful it didn’t cause them to push too much. Only thing could have made this story better was an epilogue that was further out.

Tucker has no use of his eyes for a week after an accident. Even though help is offered, he is fine on his own even though he cannot see. Mia his neighbor who he has never met, hears him crash and offers to help. Brushing her off Tucker can't help smirk when she rambles, shows up with food and for the first time in forever Tucker is enjoying every moment with a woman.

Mia has scars, but Tucker is blind right now so she can be herself. Spending time with Tucker, she knows she could love him and he seems enchanted with her, but what happens when he has his sight back, he would never want the curvy woman with scars or could he?

This was a fun read. I am always a sucker with food blogger stories. I liked this couple together, was a bit perplexed by Tucker. I wish it could have been a bit longer but overall entertaining.

[Sandy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice story about the grumpy guy who doesn’t want to ask for help,from anyone. Enter his sweet neighbor who won’t give up. Even though Tucker can’t see, he’s drawn to Mila. Mila has some insecurities that she needs to work through. Steamy story with low angst.

What a sweet tasty and sexy read. Had some stuff to point out. But enjoyable easy read! 😊 Reviewwww in a near future

[Megan | The Mood Read Queen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was RIDICULOUS and unrealistic and so instalovey I couldn't stand it, but also, it was hella cute and got me right in the feels a few times.

The story itself suffers from a lack of development of the plot and the main characters. There are really great moments and then later there's a summary of what happened in moments we didn't see, all of which would have resulted in a more developed narrative had those summaries been turned into full scenes.

I identified somewhat with Mila, though as a plus size girl myself, I struggled to see the realism in her burgeoning physical relationship with Tucker. I'd like to think that somewhere beyond all my romantic hopes and dreams, there's a logical girl who knows what it takes to find love. And, sorry if this is a negative take, but bullshit that Tucker can carry her bridal style into the bedroom. Based on Mila's description, she's a true plus size lady, which is awesome, but no way in hell this man is going to carry her like she's a twig. It's romantic, sure, but it kept ripping me out of the story.

Other than that, they move so fucking quickly in this. I know it says "instalove" on the cover, so I knew what I was signing up for, but DAMN, I still thought they'd take it a little slower. I also would have appreciated her being a bit older, but oh well.

Overall, it was a lot of fun and hey, if I'm ever feeling like a quick romance with a plus size main character, I might check out more of what Cameron Hart has to offer.

[Oriana Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story was so freaking sweet and romantic but kind of sad two. Two broken souls that fell in love with each other. Tucker fell head over heels in love with Mila although he could not see her. Mila had her insecurities as well. But they fell in love in such a sweet manner🥰🥰🥰 awesome to read. It had steamy parts as well and was totally safe😍😍😍 So so so good. For me a must read👍👍👍

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

    **Sometimes I miss having a woman to warm my bed, waking up next to her and rolling her onto her back so I can sink deep inside of her in the early hours of the morning before we have to get up for the day. But after my last relationship ended three years ago, I decided I was done with all of that drama. No more. No women, no relationships, not even one-night stands.**

**My ex left me because I couldn’t provide the life she wanted, but here Mila is making her way on her own and content to have only what she needs. Why does that make me want to give her more, give her everything? I never felt that way with Celeste, my ex. I grew to resent her as much as she resented me. Our relationship was over long before it officially ended.**

**I look down at my rounded stomach and thick thighs, and then run my fingers over the side of my neck, feeling the raised skin there. In no world does someone like Tucker end up with a girl like me. An overweight hermit with ugly scars. I’m a freak.**

**I’m a fucking mess. I want this woman like I’ve never wanted anyone. I didn’t even know I was capable of longing, desire, and yes, lust, like this. But I’m just a broken, bitter asshole.**

**How the hell did I get so lucky? This woman is everything. Every. Fucking. Thing. Sweet and sassy, kind and pure, but beneath it all, she wants to be my dirty girl. I can feel it. Smell it. Taste it. Hear it in every ragged breath and broken cry. I swear I can see it written on her soul. She’s mine. My innocent, filthy, perfect woman.**

**“I’ve seen you, Mila. I’ve seen your heart, the way you selflessly stepped in to care for my grouchy ass even when I pushed you away. I’ve seen the way your mind works, how clever and kind you are, the way your sassy little mouth keeps me in line and pushes my buttons in the best way possible. I’ve seen your fucking soul, baby girl. I’ve seen how pure and genuine you are through and through.”**

**"No what-ifs. You are beautiful. I know it, feel it in the very core of who I am. You are beautiful to me. Absolutely perfect. I love you, Mila. I'm sorry if that’s too fast or if you're not ready to hear those words, but I need to say them. I love you. I need you. Being with you is just like breathing, natural and essential to my survival."**

**Even through her fears, Mila is right here caring for me. I’ll pay back every kind word, every gentle touch, every selfless act with so much love, she'll never doubt how grateful I am to have her in my life.**

**“Mila… I’m not going to break your heart. Your bed, quite possibly. The record for the most orgasms in a day, absolutely. But never your heart.”**

**I lightly trace my fingers over her raised skin, committing each bump and dip to memory. I wasn’t lying when I told her she’s perfect just the way she is. Everything about her calls to me.**

**I wasn’t lying when I told her she was beautiful and perfect to me. No matter what she looks like, Mila will be beautiful because she is mine. She is precious and worthy and too damn good for me. I’ll show her every single day until she believes me. And then I’ll keep showing her over and over, every day for the rest of our lives.**

At First Sight

HERO /HEROINE Tucker and Mila are both loners,but for different reasons. Tucker hates people. After a bad break up and his mommy issues, he likes to be left alone. Mila stays in the shadows because of her scars. Her face is marred from burns and cuts and she can’t stand the years of disgusted and pitiful looks she constantly gets from strangers on the street.

REPRESENTATION Plus size heroine.

OVERALL THOUGHTS Thank goodness I liked this. I’ve had bad luck and this was perfect. I’m definitely going to check out more books from this author.

This was a sweet instalove, insta attraction story, and those are usually my favorites. We had a grumpy/sunshine trope kind of but Tucker became a big horny sweetie pie after he got over himself.

Other than the internal conflict that goes on with our characters, we didn’t get any outside problems. No one was cruel to Mila about her face, or her weight. Which was nice, since that was her greatest fear in the book.

I liked how Tucker never asked what she looked like. He never asked for her hair color or what shape her eyes held. If she had big pouty lips or thinner. He knew she was bigger because he was able to hold her but he never asked her for a number or a size. I loved that part of our hero. He enjoyed being around her just because it was her.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE My heart and brain know that this is unrealistic, which is a downer. But baby, I love this kind of story.

FAVORITE QUOTES: You are beautiful. I know it, feel it in the very core of who I am. You are beautiful to me. Absolutely perfect. I love you, Mila.

I don’t know how far down her scars go, but I know they are more than skin deep. I vow to heal what I can and love what I can’t.

SAFETY Very safe book.

AGE: Mila is 20 and I think Tucker is maybe in his late 20s to early 30s

SEXUAL HISTORY: it’s been a couple years for Tucker and Mila is a virgin.

CONDOMS: nah, they were going in. A bit of a breeding kink

HEAT LEVEL: 3/5 this was pretty hot. A total of around 4 scenes which were nice 🙂

PUSH/PULL: H pulled away from a night and then caved to h’s kindness.

SEPARATION: no

CHEATING: no

OW (Other Woman)/OM (Other Man) drama: no

SEX SCENE WITH OW/OM: no

ABUSE: parental abuse (past)

POSSIBLE PET PEEVES/TRIGGERS Sexual Content, internalized fatphobia, parental abuse (past), death of a loved one (past)

HEA/HFN: HEA Epilogue is they bought a house and he asked her to marry her and she is pregnant.

[A-reader · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book gave me the feels real bad, Tucker is a hot sexy construction worker, he’s grumpy and just wants to be left alone. Things get worse for him due to an accident at work causing temporary blindness. Mila is his next door neighbor, she has seen him around the complex and has been mildly stalking him, goes to the mailbox when he does, goes to the office when he goes to pay his rent, and watches him outside her window when he comes and goes. She knows she’d never have a chance with a guy like him. She’s super curvy and has burn and cut scars on her shoulder, neck, and cheek from a car accident when she was little. She avoids people as much as possible, her only companion is her dog, Sergeant Snuggles. When Tucker takes a tumble while trying to navigate his kitchen, Mila knocks and tries to help. At first he gruff with her, but she keeps talking, he finds her voice super soothing, but sends her away. She brings him food later that evening and they get to know one another a little better. The next morning Mila bakes him muffins to take over, she knows from her stalking where he hides his spare key, when he doesn’t answer she uses it. Sergeant sneaks in too and goes to give Tucker licks. I loved how once Tucker got past his grumpiness with her he enjoyed her company. He starts falling for her without seeing her. That gives Mila Hope for them. The day before Tucker gets his bandages off, Mila had me all choked up. She was convinced that once he saw her he would be disgusted by her just like everyone else. They talk about her accident and he’s so sweet to her. She reluctantly accompanies him to the doctors, when he sees her for the first time he thinks she’s beautiful. Their pre-sight sexy times were hot, their first time together after Tucker’s bandages are off is even hotter. Lots of I love yous and a super sweet epilogue with them buying a house, Tucker proposing, and Mila pregnant.
Loved how sweet they were to each other. Really loved it when he called her is little Mila.

4.5 stars

The hero got into an accident that made him blind for only a week, and the heroine (his next-door neighbor who has a massive crush on the hero) has been watching him from afar for a whole year. She is determined to help the hero recover and offers to help him throughout the week. She brings him food and keeps him company. The hero quickly falls for the heroine in 3 days, and for the rest of the week, it is just steamy moments and flirting. There is one problem, though. The heroine isn't conventally attractive and has major insecurities. She's curvy, hides her body in sweaters, and has scars on her face. She tries to enjoy her time with the hero before he recovers and expects to be rejected by the end of the week when the hero sees her. Hero is so in love that he doesn't care and instead finds her beautiful, and he's determined to show her she is his one and only. At the start, they did have a bit of a bumpy relationship, the hero was rude and short but would apologize to her. He's been hurt in the past by everyone and wanted to keep a distance from the heroine, but that never works for him.

When quiet neighbor Mila hears a crash in her neighbors apartment, she rushes over to make sure her neighbor, Tucker, was ok. Though they’d never met, Mila knew a lot about his schedule. When she finally meets her hot neighbor, it’s not exactly the way she’d hoped. You see, Tucker’s just had surgery and both of his eyes are bandaged, making him blind. That’s a good and bad thing for Mila because she’s been hiding herself from people ever since the car accident that left her an orphan with scars on her face and body. Staying in the shadows has become her specialty and since she became an influential food blogger, she’s not had to worry to much about being out in public, It’s easy to cover her face with her hoodie, not to mention the baggie clothing keeps prying eyes off of her.
When Tucker realizes that there’s more to his quiet neighbor he’s intrigued. When both her and her dog start spending their days with him, it makes his week go by quickly, but he’s wanting more from her than just friends. Even though he can’t see her, he knows so much about her and he’s hooked. He can’t believe that she’s lived next door, yet they’ve never met, not even at their mailboxes.
Mila’s afraid of what will happen then Tucker’s no longer bandaged, and Tucker can’t wait to get this amazing woman in his bed and keep her in his life. Will he be able to convince this shy woman that she’s exactly what he wants, and the scars don’t matter. Will Mila believe the handsome man she’s wanted from afar since they became neighbors?
This is a short but worthy read. I absolutely loved both Mila and Tucker’s characters, though I wish Mila could’ve been a bit stronger. I loved the ending, the writing is good, as is the story arc.

Well one of your five senses get taken from you it can be debilitating. Tucker is a foreman for a construction company somehow gets knocked upside to noggin. He has to have surgery and has bandages on his eyes for at least seven days. His friend has set up a string system in his apartment. He supposed to follow the string no the footsteps to here in there so he can be by himself for the week. Because of course he’s not invalid. He doesn’t want to anybody to feel sorry for him. Listener his friend leaves, he tries to shuffle around the apartment. Stabbing his foot, losing grip on the furniture that doesn’t exist and crashing and burning but yet not hitting his head. Mila is across the hall. She is not an introvert but pretty much her characteristics says different. She basically works out of her house and hears him cussing. There’s thrashing, things falling as he falls down and go boom. She knocks on the door and he’s just surly. Just then she starts to ramble. Eventually she has a hijackers emergency key to save him. He can’t see her as she can see him. She has loved him from a far for the past year. over the week things start to happen. Guards are get down and anxiety takes over as the D day comes. Will he accept her for who she is after he sees her? No cliffhanger hanger.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

[Barbara Vargas · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm not usually drawn to ultra sweet, insta-love cheesy romance, but the fact that the FMC is out of the "beauty standard" box got my attention and I found myself actually enjoying the book. Yes, it's a quick and diabetes-like sugary romance, but it's also a story about not loving your own body and hiding from life as to protect oneself from pain and heartbreak. Mila and Tucker are both flawed and perfect in their own way. My heart broke for Mila because I could identify so much with that part of hers that doesn't think she's worthy of being loved. In real life, we all know things don't happen like this, but books can make us pretend and dive into stories that otherwise wouldn't be believable. Tucker had a hard shell to crack, but once he let Mila in, he was one hundred percent hers and made damn sure she knew how special and worthy she was. The only peeve I had with the book was the fact that Mila was so innocent and inexperienced. I often find that the few books with FMC that are not part of the "beauty standard" have the heroine be this virginal inexperienced porcelain doll and it bothers me to no end. I want to read stories about real women with real bodies that have intense desires and a killer sex life.

Overall, a fun, bubbly and happy read, if that's your cup of tea. 4/5 stars.

[SassyMamaReads · Rating 5 out of 5]

Was this a “Cheesy,” and steamy book? Yes. But, you know what else, it was? Fun. This is a book about two very scared people. There is one emotionally, and the other physically which, enhances our physical after awhile. One is grumpy, from lack of nooky, in years. The other is a virgin.

Both, have insecurities. Weight and physical scars are, the issue, for one. The other, the feelings, of never being enough, or important enough. While at the same time, they had been suffering alone, right next door to each other, not even knowing it, of loneliness.

Yet, for a whole year that Mila had been hiding away trying to blend in. She had been lusting over Tucker. But, his gruff attitude after work never allows him to get to know anyone giving off the “LEAVE ME ALONE” sign all the time. An injury at work brings the two together.

The positives are Mila always sees the good in people and situations probably due to her situation. She has empathy giving aid where needed. Tucker shows a willingness to open up to Mila soon after meeting her. Foreign to him after being burned before a couple of times. Change for them is fearful yet together they seem to work together.

Total erotic couple starts of like a romantic comedy but once this virgin finds her groove watch out! free book giveaway.

Awesome book!!! Absolutely loved reading Tucker and Mila's story!!! I was hooked from the beginning, it kept me turning page after page until I had finished it and still wanted to keep going.

Tucker is temporary blind due to an operation after an accident at work.
Curvy scarred Mila has been eyeing her tall, dark and handsome grumpy neighbor for over a year but she's been keeping in the shadows trying to live unnoticed. Well that's about to change when she hears what sounds like her neighbor taking a tumble and goes to investigate. He can't see her but is attracted to how see sounds..... and so it begins!
The next couple of days she's bringing him all sorts of dishes (did I mention she's a food blogger) and they get into a routine until one morning she doesn't pitch up at the usual time - and he sits up and takes notice.......

Loved Mila's strategy - hahaha! - to get the guy to fall in love with her - that old saying - "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach" and the fact that he's temporary blind helps if you curvy and scarred. But love is unconditional!!!

Oh you have got to read this book!!!

This is the 3rd book I have read of Cameron Hart and I enjoyed them all.

[Alison · Rating 5 out of 5]

The soft, sweet voice hits me right in the chest. I feel an ache deep inside, a profound emptiness I didn’t know I had.

I wasn’t sure I was going to like this book. In fact, I thought it would kind of offend me with how someone couldn’t fall in love with a bbw unless he was blind. I was super happy to be wrong. I adored this book. Mila was an awkward, quirky heroine but not so much that it was annoying. It was more endearing. Tucker was so grumpy at first but immediately melted for Mila.

My fears about the book? His hands and mouth were all over her before his bandages came off, he know what her body type was. She was still worried about her scars but it was mostly her own insecurities holding her back and she could really let lose and be herself when she knew Tucker couldn’t see her. I’m down with that message.

This book was sweet AND steamy. A perfect combo. It’s going on my reread shelf! For excerpts from this book check out my highlights.

Absolutely MAGICAL❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️

Oh. My. GAWWWDDD!!!!

This book. All of the feelz. I don’t know even where to start, I’m so blown away by what an emotional sucker punch it was.

The heroine is scarred from an accident and lives a life in the shadows avoiding people. The hero carries his scars on the inside, from rejection of his family and others. But together, they find acceptance and healing and love. And it didn’t hurt that the story also had plenty of humor to go along with the heart and steam.

This was so well-written, filled with such emotional depth that made the sex scenes only more powerful, because it was based on love. The hero has been celibate for 3 years, had a GF before that who hurt him, the heroine was wonderfully sweet and innocence, there was no ow/om drama and an HEA with an epilogue.

I will definitely be reading more from this author.
