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 and 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 coworkers.

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.

Janie & Boyd

Melissa Foster has always delivered fantastic characters in her books but Boyd and Janie are extraordinary. While they are strong people we don't realize just how strong and independent they both are as they overcome obstacles in this beautiful relationship. As their story unfolds we see how their individual pasts have molded them into the people they are today. I don't want to spoil a bit of this plot for you so I will only summarize to say that Janie has taken a fall in the subway and panics as she calls out for help. I felt tense as I continued reading about her dilemma until coworker Boyd realizes he has walked away with her phone and needs to return to the subway discovering that Janie has been injured. As Boyd helps her recover, their feelings grow for one another. This is a beautiful story of two people who find each other somewhat unexpectedly. Melissa Foster weaves magic in this book as various characters become part of the story. It must have taken a significant amount of research by the author to describe the challenges Janie experiences navigating the world. BJ Harrison’s narration was a pleasure to listen to. He created auditory interest with the voices he used for different characters. I loved this audiobook. A must read/listen. I hope it touches your heart as much as it touched mine.

Emotionally powerful story...

Touched by Love is book six in the Love in Bloom: The Remingtons series. Of all the books I have read or listened to lately, this one is by far the most powerful. The story felt so real, the emotions so potent. I enjoyed listening to this narrator, and I absolutely loved this story. I HIGHLY recommend it.

5 Stars for Boyd and Janie!

It had been a while since I had first read the kindle version of this book, so getting to revisit these two characters in the audio version was a real treat. As always, BJ Harrison is a fantastic narrator that brings the characters to life in every book he narrates, and brings depth and emotion to each story. I found myself sucked in yet again by the story of Boyd and Janie from start to finish. Janie's strength and desire to be independent was so endearing, I wanted to be a part of the story, a part of their world, just so that I could be a friend of hers somehow!

While I always want to recommend the Kindle version of books first, i have to recommend the Audible version of Touched by Love by Melissa Foster first. Her stories and audio books are always very well done!

Touching story

I have been waiting for this book to come out for a while. Melissa Foster did not disappoint! This story makes you see love in a different light. It is very raw and emotional.

Boyd suffered a horrible tragedy as a child and has carried guilt from that ever since. He has secrets that he has kept bottled up never telling a soul. Then along come Janie.

Janie was born with a degenerative eye disease that has left her blind but very independent. Tragedy strikes when she falls and gets hurt relying on the help of Boyd to help her do simple tasks and maneuver around while she heals.

Sparks being to fly and Janie and Boyd begin to help each other heal from the eternal and external pain they both endure. BJ Harrison is the narrator and once again he hits it out of the park. He tells it in a way that you are able to invision how Janie sees the world. You will not be disappointed in this home run of a story.

Love Heals

Janie is blind, but very independent. She moved away from her over protective parents, and moved to New York. She is now a top technical editor. And if you try to treat her like a disabled blind person she will put you in her place. She has strived hard to become independent, and she is determined to do almost all things alone. She does let her best friend KiKi help her out just a little.

Boyd, is a firefighter, and that’s dream is to go to medical school. He is working 3 jobs, and burning his self out. He has been responsible for his siblings since his parents were tragically killed. He has had quite his fair share of failed relationships, and has not had any interest in dating until he met Janie.

Janie takes a subway to work everyday, and one day her heel catches and she has now hurt her self to the point that she does have to ask for help. And Boyd is there for her. Janie teaches him how her dark world works, and she starts healing him and saving him from his dark world.

They will make you happy, sad, and rejoice. BJ Harrison’s voice is perfect and relaxing for this up and down wills of love.’
One of the best heart stopping books by Melissa Foster. Because love does heal.
