Love is Blind Audiobook Summary

He’d been warned that Lady Clarissa Crambray was dangerous. Stomping on toes and burning piffles, the chestnut-haired beauty was clearly a force with which to be reckoned. But for Adrian Montfort, Earl of Mowbray, veteran of the Napoleonic Wars, this was just the challenge he needed. He could handle one woman and her “unfortunate past.” Could any woman handle him?

Lady Clarissa Crambray wanted a husband, but maybe not as much as her stepmother wanted one for her. Really! Doffing her spectacles might make a girl prettier, but how would she see? She’d already caused enough mayhem to earn a rather horrible nickname. Yet, as all other suitors seemed to shy away in terror, there came a man to lead her to the dance floor. A dark, handsome, blur of a man.

3.5☆☆☆☆I did not expect to like this book as much as I did. My last 4 attempts from this author were a no-no. But this story was lovely. We had a nice couple with no angst between them, they both respected and loved eachother. There could have been a little more build up to their story, but it was not something awful. Even the "bad" people in this book were humanized and showed a little of their backstory as to why they behave like villains. And this was a plus for me as in a lot of books we have the bad person just for the sake of having someone do the dirty work. I quite enjoyed this romance and read it in one go.I wanted to know more about Lydia's story and how it ends and also Jane and Reginald seemed like complex characters that could have had their own stories.

The heroine has a poor reputation after her stepmother stopped her from wearing glasses. The scarred H has decided to look for a wife, and when he meets her it's instant connection. It seemed a lighthearted story at first, but soon becomes serious as she is nearly killed. The writing balanced the light and dark plot with a heroine who shows her worth. The h's father loved her but he was quite cruel to his wife. Good story.

I am very pleasantly surprised and I'm really glad I took a chance on this. The plot itself wasnt very different and something I have probably read 10 times over, but what really caught my attention was the non bodice-ripperish title. Its simple, contemporary and very (ironically and hilariously) related to the book. What's probably the best part about this book is how the male MC is more insecure about his looks than the female MC, as he has a long, but light scar on his face. Clarissa, the female MC, is insecure as she thinks she looks ogre-like in her glasses, but still wants it so that she wont be blinder than a bat (actually, all her mishaps and antics because of her blindness were hilarious and actually made me double over a lot. Major bonus points).And that's really not all, since the book has many hilarious moments, which makes it pretty damn awesome.Then the male MC freaking respects Clarissa, dammit. he doesnt talk down to her, and most importantly, doesnt hide his love for her thinking that 'he will make himself vulnerable if he does' or something like that. He doesnt act like an ass towards her because of his stupid scar and accepts for who she is. The only problems I had was how goody-goody and kind Clarissa was. I know I know, being kind is not exactly a fault. But there is kind, and there is kind. Clarissa is kind. Say, someone comes to murder her and she finds out. Instead of handing them over to the cops, like any normal person would do, Clarissa would pat them on the head, give them a few shillings and ship them off to America for a new beginning. (view spoiler)[*cough* Lets ignore that this actually happened *cough* (hide spoiler)]...Huh?Another problem was how incredibly predictable the 'mystery' was. I am terrible as mysteries, and put a riddle before me and you'll get the answer only never. But if I could figure it out within the first 10 pages, you know that the 'mystery' is very pointless.Nonetheless, a very very cute story and one of my most highly recommended HR. There are no pestering mothers/cousins/sisters/brothers or some dark broody secret (well, sorta. But this is such common knowledge that the MC tells it earlier on) or some unsolvable problem. Its cute and very charming in its simplicity, which is exactly what I like.

A very very very sweet romance that discusses love is blind and how looks don't really matter. The ending ended TOO PERFECTLY but I love it.

4.5 starsI used to read a lot of Lynsay Sands' books so this was like snuggling into a comfy blanket. Her writing style isn't for everyone, but it's almost always worked for me with her sense of humor, fun characters, and usually a mystery or two within the plot. In Love is Blind, Clarissa (h) is a young lady who's struggling through her first season with a mean stepmother who won't let her wear spectacles, resulting in many mishaps. Adrian (H) has returned to the ton after years in the country, where he escaped following the reaction of society to his scarred face post-war. She can barely see, he doesn't want anyone to see his face, but their romance is also more delightful and sweet than this basic formula suggests. Written in third person, dual POV. No ow drama, tiny om drama from an aged suitor for the h. H is not a virgin but has been celibate for many years and h is a virgin. Clarissa was such an open and honest person, who was also kind, if too naive. She was taken advantage of when she was younger, resulting in a scandal that also affects her marriage potential. But Adrian is drawn to how she stands out from the other debutantes (there is a bit of "she's not like the others" happening) and then he treats her so well, finding ways to connect with her and make up for what her stepmother denies her. Of course, the stepmother provides obstacles to their budding romance and there's the possibility that Clarissa's in danger. There's some sneaking around and accomplices to assist them in this.While the steamy scenes aren't as explicit as some books, there are a few that are detailed and a couple others that are fade to black. These two do end up married and Clarissa is completely unaware of the marriage bed, but she's pretty enthusiastic about it once they get going. Another element of their relationship is her concern she's ugly with spectacles vs. his concerns she'll think he's a monster with them. Both Adrian and Clarissa show insecurities with this and aren't able to talk about it, but thankfully there are some meddlers around them to help give them some pushes to realize they're both wrong in their thinking. This story does abound with side characters from the villains to family members to staff that are more like family. Some are funny while others offer warm support. The mystery plot line wasn't that challenging, but it was still interesting to see when they'd figure it out. The resolution of wrongs done to Clarissa wasn't quite the comeuppance you might hope for, but it fits Clarissa's sweet character. I really wanted an epilogue with this story and it probably would have been five stars with one, even with Clarissa's naivety and the lack of communication about their fears. Still, I had a great time with this historical romance and it's made me want to read more of Ms. Sands books again.

I loved this book very much! It was different from every other romance novels I have read in that it portrayed romantic love between two people as a simple, joyous, and beautiful thing that goes beyond wealth and face value. Most other historical romance novels I have read, (e.g. books by Nora Roberts, Johanna Lindsey, Elizabeth Hoyt, Kinley MacGregor, Eloisa James, etc.) portray romantic love as a complicated thing. For instance, the hero and/or heroine almost always have a hard time ADMITTING their feeling to both themselves and one another. As a result, one or both of them would be miserable. Also, in many other historic (and contemporary) romance novels, the male sort of views himself superior to the heroine, uses his temper and strength against her, cares more about their own needs and wishes that hers, treats her roughly, and wants everything to go their way. I ABSOLUTELY LOATHE THOSE CHARACTERS although some of the heroes might mellow a bit with their treatment after they get marriedThis novel was truly a unique and beautiful piece of writing. It was mostly about the love story between Clarissa and Adrian.Clarissa is one of the most beautiful character I have ever come across. She has a big heart, the biggest, most selfless, forgiving, compassionate, generous, and kindest heart ever. Even after her stepmother mistreated her and her maid tried to murder her, she shows them the error of their ways and gives them 2nd chance. I loved her so much for that. She treats all of her employees with good manners. She is also super honest. Also, she is super nearsighted. Without her glasses, she cannot see much more than blobs of color.Adrian is a pretty great guy as well. He and Clarissa meet at a ball. Her beauty and stories of her clumsiness intrigues him. He was super sweet to her. She mentioned how her nearsightedness prevents her from reading a book. That is what she misses above all. So, on their next meeting, he brings a book to read to her. Also, she once mentioned that due to her clumsiness, her stepmother forbade her to eat or drink at a social gathering, no matter how hungry or parched she is. Then, on one of their meetings, he whisks her from a party to share a picnic with him. He was super sweet and considerate towards her.During the course of their relationship, they were both worried about the other finding them unattractive due to their imperfection1) Clarissa was terribly near-sighted but she did not wear glasses because her stepmother forced her not to by breaking her glasses. Of course, before the wedding, she orders a new one but she is afraid that if Adrian sees her with glasses, he would find her unattractive.2) Adrian has a deep scar on his face from serving in the military. He is afraid that if she wears glasses, she would see his face clearly and be disgusted by him.It was both sad and sweet how they both wanted her to wear glasses later on in their relationship. She wanted to wear glasses later because she thought that in time, if he loved her and cared for her enough, he would not find her unattractive while she wears those glasses. He wanted her to wear glasses later, because he wished that in time, if she loved and cared for him enough, seeing his scarred face would not bother her. The author showed their devotion and hope towards each other so beautifully!!I would definitely read this book again

Adrian es un amor... como dice Clarissa como no amarlo si te trata como una princesa y te hace sentir como el centro de su universo, simplemente es el hombre que muchas mujeres incluyendo a mi, desearían. 😍😍😍

4.5 estrellas...Este libro me gustó mucho! Hace tiempo que no me leía algo de época y aproveché a leerme este, la sinopsis desde el inicio me atrapó pero la historia está genial...Ella es una chica que necesita anteojos para ver bien pero que por la época en la que viven esta mal visto usar lentes (gafas) porque hace que pierdas propuestas de matrimonio! osea XDAsí que la pobre chica anda cayéndose y golpeando, incluso quemando partes marculinas en su camina, todo el tiempo, hasta que un Lord se acerca y le pide bailar con ella.La atracción y admiración entre ambos surgen, pero se imponen la vergüenza, pena, una venganza y una madrastra malvada para que puedan ser felices.Me ha encantado el personaje de Clarissa, es tan dulce y bondadoso que perdona a personas que le hicieron daño, super linda^^Una historia (no tan corta) que te lees en un ratito, en la que su lenguaje te podría confundir de vez en cuando pero que vale la pena de leer^^
