The premise of this historical romance is that the 'evil stepmother' won't let the heroine wear her glasses so she's effectively blind. This leads to many mishaps as she mistakes gentlemen's laps for tea trays, and you get the idea. Adrian is the only gentleman to see past Clarissa's issues but then he has problems of his own that Clarissa's vision troubles alleviate. It's a sweet story with an unfortunate side plot of someone trying to hurt Clarissa that didn't work for me. It's still a good book, but I thought it might have been better without the murder attempts. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
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. No library descriptions found. |

Lady Clarissa Crambray should be the belle of the ball as she has beauty, wit and charm. Unfortunately, she is also as blind as a bat without her glasses, and her clumsiness means that every eligible bachelor is giving her a wide berth. That is until Adrian Monfort, the Earl of Mowbray, spies her across the room, and decides that no one else will do. A veteran of the Napoleanic wars, Adrian is only too happy to have a bride who cannot see his scarred visage. But what will happen when Clarissa regains her spectacles? Will she be able to see past surface imperfections to the worthy man beneath?
A mix of Beauty & The Beast and Cinderella, Love is Blind is a lovely romance with endearing characters. Clarissa is endearing and her klutziness leads to several laugh out loud moments. Adrian is gentle and caring, and his suffering at the hands of the cruel and superficial ton makes him all the more appealing. The chemistry between Clarissa and Adrian is wonderful and there relationship is relatively angst free although the whole "return of the spectacle" theme goes on for a tad too long.
The minor suspense plot has potential. However, the identity of the culprit is obvious from the start and the resolution is too pat for my tastes.
Overall, a lovely read and I really need to read more of Lynsay Sands' books. ( )
