Stephanie Caldwell made the classic mistake… she fell in love with her boss.
The fact that Bran is blind makes no difference to Steph—she thinks he’s the most handsome man she’s ever laid eyes on. If only she didn’t have to see him every day, she could force herself to give up her pipe dreams. But she can’t quit--she needs this job to pay for her daughter’s medical treatment. To make things worse, he just got engaged!

Billionaire Branson Knight is pragmatic about his love life. He knows women don’t see him as a man, but as a blind person, worthy of pity. His only value lies in his wealth. So his engagement is merely a means to an end. But the last thing he wants to end is his relationship with Stephanie--he’s become dangerously dependent on his efficient personal assistant.

When Bran’s friends drag him off to Las Vegas, he convinces Steph to go along, to prevent him from panicking in the noisy, crowded environment. His fiancée, however, sees the trip as the perfect opportunity to coerce Bran into a quickie wedding. Steph and his friends are determined to prevent the disastrous union. But everyone has a secret…  

 

This was my pick it for me book for January. I stuck it on my list even though billionaire romance isn't a trope I like all that much. The reason this one caught my interest was because the billionaire is blind and I thought it would be a nice change to read a book with a blind character who is the love interest. I liked the forward the author wrote in the book about why she chose to include a blind character, and how she came about writing the character based on a relative. 

Overall, I thought this was entertaining and I liked the main couple a lot. I do wish that there weren't quite so many misunderstandings between them, and that they had just spoken up and said how they really felt a lot sooner. This is a thing in romance that can drive me crazy at times. I'm not sure if I'll read any of the other books in this series, but I might eventually try some of the author's other books.
