In TOUCHED BY LOVE...

Fiercely independent Janie Jansen has always believed there were worse things in life than being blind, and she's spent her life proving it. She's moved away from her overprotective parents, built a life in New York City, and is one of the top technical editors in her company. That is, until an unfortunate accident turns her life upside down and she's forced to give up the very independence she's worked so hard to achieve.

Firefighter Boyd Hudson pushed past his tragic past and is weeks away from accomplishing his ultimate dream -- being accepted into medical school. His intense focus on his goal while working three jobs has taken its toll. With a trail of failed relationships behind him, Boyd is painstakingly aware of his limitations and avoids girlfriends completely -- a difficult task given his attraction to one of his co-workers.

When Boyd comes to Janie's rescue, she's forced to accept his help, and Janie discovers there's more to the sexy-sounding office flirt than one-liners. Their connection deepens as Janie heals, but it turns out that Janie isn't the only one who needs healing. Boyd's painful past comes back to haunt him, threatening their relationship and forcing Boyd to reevaluate everything he knows about himself.

I loved this book. Boyd and Janie bring out the best in eachother!! Janie had been loosing her eyesight since her teen years, but is fiercely independent. Boyd lost his parents to a fire when he was a young boy, and became extremely protective of his younger brother and sister. can she give up some of her independence and he learn how to protective but not overly? They definitely compliment eachother. i highly recommend this author and the love in bloom series.

I enjoy reading stories of empowerment. There is just something so beautiful about a person beating the odds and succeeding despite emotional, physical and financial limitations. I received an ARC of Touched by Love by Melissa Foster in exchange for an honest review. Touched by Love is wonderful expression of the power of the human spirit. I love strong female characters and Janie fit that bill perfectly. She has struggled most of her life to be seen as an independent woman. Blindness has not stopped her but made her work twice as hard to fulfill her dreams. Melissa Foster did well in creating a character that may see the world differently but was an inspiration in that she used the abilities she had and did not let the one she didn't hinder her. That pride having been a plus in some areas also proved lacking in that she refused to ask for help when needed. In retrospect She and Boyd shared that trait. Boyd may not have had any physical limitations but he was emotionally closed off due to events in his past and determined to make a better life for himself. Knowing Janie and seeing first hand all she went through to get ahead in a world that was not always tolerant and kind to people who are different helped him become a better person. Having someone believe in her and not coddle her made Janie a stronger person. I enjoy every book I read by Ms. Foster but of all the stories I've read by her and there have been many, Touched by Love is my favorite. Anytime an author can move a reader to tears and teach them something along the way, you know you've found something special.

4 1/2 stars. Touched by Love is the long-awaited next book in The Remingtons series from Melissa Foster, and she does not disappoint. The characters in Touched by Love are special, and their struggles are more intense than many of the characters I've read from Ms. Foster. Janie's blindness is well depicted and as I read her scenes, I felt myself using my other senses to "see" what she is seeing in the way that she was seeing it: with her ears, with her nose, with her touch. And Boyd is the best and worst hero for her. He's wonderful from the very first page; so much so that you wonder what kind of struggles he could have in his life. But he has them, and they have made him his strong, driven, over-protective self. Which is perfect for Janie when she needs it, but smothering as she seeks to reassert her hard-earned independence. His protective streak and her independent nature may be their undoing, as each does what they think is best for them and the other, not respecting the very relationship they have fought so hard for. A wonderfully emotional, heart-tugging, sexy addition to The Remingtons and the entire Love in Bloom series. Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
