Hi there!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.

| (No, these aren't my dogs...but aren't they adorbs!) |
Here's hoping your weekend was stupendous and you're gearing up for the winter holidays. I managed to go with the family to PetSmart and take advantage of their "stuff your stocking" event...let's just say the fur kids have been VERY NICE this year. ^-^ I'm looking ahead to some great reads and a few days off (*fist pump*), so all in all, not a bad start to the month...though I do wish my SUV was OUT of the shop for good (darn manufacturer defects...third rental car this month!). Anywho, let's get to the books, shall we?
Today, we're shining the light on a Christian Romance title courtesy of Pump Up Your Book. From the sound of things, it holds promise to be a pretty stellar read and while it's not on my rotation this season (overbooked...go figure! ^-^), it may just find a home on yours. Ladies and gents, I give you today's title in the spotlight...
Sight Unseen
A Hero's Heart series, Book 1
by
Erin Leigh Crisp
About the book...
Emilia Phillips is looking for a career and a way out of her day job. She is not looking for a man to rescue her heart.
Asher Mason wants his life back. He lost his sight and the hero-life he loved in a millisecond. He no longer trusts his instincts, especially about women. But the sweet-smelling waitress in his favorite café tempts him to trust. As Emilia helps Asher relearn everyday activities, the two find themselves falling faster than either expected.
Can a woman love a blind soldier? Will she want a man who doesn’t recognize himself anymore? As Asher’s shortcomings become more apparent to him, the wedge forced between he and Emilia widens. Can Asher trust the same God that took his sight to direct his future?

“How long has it been?” Emilia could have bitten off her own tongue.
His eyes glanced over again, but they didn’t see her. He gave one huge breath and shrugged, like it wasn’t important. “Three months.”
Only three months? And he was walking around town and ordering coffee? No seeing-eye dog, no dark glasses? She wanted to compliment him, but she figured he wasn’t the type of man to take it for what it was. Instead, she eased her hand onto his shoulder for a split second and went for humor instead.
“I should have noticed when you didn’t wink back at me earlier.”
His head shot up, and his cheeks tinged the darkest pink.
Emilia covered her giggle and shook her head. “I swear I’m kidding. I wasn’t flirting with you, but I really should have noticed earlier. My brother was born blind. He’s seventeen.”
The man looked curious, but he was still blushing and she decided not to press him. “Anyway, if you need anything, my name is Emilia. I’ll be here all week.”
His lips turned up in the smallest smile. She reminded herself that she wasn’t looking for a man. She took three steps away before he called her name.
Her feet stopped. “Yeah?”
He swallowed hard, his fingers linking on the tabletop. His eyes searched for her face. “I’m Asher Mason. Thank you, again.”
“It was my pleasure.” She turned and walked away, but the damage was already done. Her heart thumped crazily. Her cheeks heated. Her teeth bit down to stop the smile that threatened. And I’m in a load of trouble, she thought.
