Perhaps that's why you forgot it. <br /><br />I love <i>Yours Until Dawn</i>. It's one of my favorite TM books, but Christina Dodd's <i>Candle in the Window</i> is the first one that comes to my mind since both the H/H are blind. Lorraine Heath has a blind heroine (<i>The Outlaw and the Lady</i>) and Catherine Anderson a deaf one (<i>Annie's Song</i>). Three heroes I love are partially blind--John, the Marquess of Ragsdale in Carla Kelly's <i>Reforming Lord Ragsdale</i>, Ian Cameron in Mary Jo Putney's <i>Veils of Silk</i>, and Sam Forester in Jill Barnett's<br /><i>Just a Kiss Away</i>.<br /><br />I haven't read Callen, Hellie, but your review makes me think I should give her a try.Jangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128188159653860806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416913236621309814.post-24292228043080930502013-05-28T11:22:45.867-04:002013-05-28T11:22:45.867-04:00Terri.

He falls in love with the person who "must stay" with him, and then he turns "back into a prince" (curse breaks) when he truly loves and she loves him in return.

Okay, one. YOURS UNTIL DAWN by Teresa Medeiros. And I think there have been other blind heroes...drawing a blank for, but YOURS UNTIL DAWN was really rather magical for me which is why I remember it after all this time. <br /><br />Marnee--I think her blindness was well-handled in the book. She was a very worthy heroine, I thought.<br /><br />Terri--I wonder why that is? I usually find blind heroines more fascinating...but maybe because the blind heroines can still talk unheeded by anything. If you're deaf, it seems talking is less likely...and I like witty dialogue too much to give it up. I guess I go with the "disability" I'd rather have if I had to pick one...and never mind that I'm already half blind anyway. Just remove my glasses.
