Blindsided

De: Karis Walsh

Narrado por: Betsy Zajko

Guide dog trainer Lenae McIntyre left the high-speed world of television news writing behind, and now she helps other visually impaired people adjust to life with their canine companions. She teaches her students and their dogs to trust each other, but a past betrayal and the determination to be self-sufficient and independent keep her from trusting her heart to see love.

Cara Bradley compensates for her family's shallow celebrity lifestyle by devoting her life to helping others, while keeping to the background. She reluctantly commits to a year of puppy walking a four-legged whirlwind named Pickwick so she can film regular segments for a local news program while helping promote the McIntyre Training Center, but she is unprepared for the changes that the driven and aloof Lenae will bring to her life. Blindsided by love, can Lenae and Cara learn to trust and guide each other toward a new vision for their future?

Enjoyable

Which character – as performed by Betsy Zajko – was your favorite?

Betsy's performance was never distracting or grating with any of the characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I didn't listen to this book in one sitting, but I looked forward to when I would get a chance to continue.

Meh

Slow to middle and lack luster to end. Never really grabbed me just a kind of boring listen.

Sweet and tender story

This is such a tender and loving story. Both Characters accept self love in order to love another

Sweet story!!

Really sweet story. LOVED the narrator. I felt like the heat could have been turned up a bit, but over all it was a great read.

Outstanding

This book was not only warm and heartfelt goodness, it was well written, with well developed characters who will keep you fully engaged and to my surprise , informed. I felt like I learned a lot about handling dogs. I also have a new admiration for the sight impaired. This book came alive with the amazing narration. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a feel good read. Oh and it's quite the romance!!!

great!

great book. would recommend it to everyone! worth every minute of my day reading! 5 stars

Moving story of learning to trust and love.

The narration was moving. I loved the characters and how they both dealt with their own pasts. The journey they both took together to understand themselves and each other is something I know I will enjoy again and again.

Authenticity with compassion.

There was reality, respect, and compassion in a veryy good story. I have listened to it about 10 times and am sure that I will listen to it a few more times in the future.

Repetitive

The story wasn't a bad one. Both characters were likeable enough. Though, one problem I had was that it seemed to be a bit repetitive. The narrator said over and over again what Lenea assumed about Cara and vice versa. Even at the very end they were bringing up "the argument" about being a dog walker. Which was pretty weak. The narrator wasn't my favorite. Overall, it was okay.

Good little book

Nice story, all books must end if not going on to a sequel and I wished it didn't end. Going well until the last 2-3 chapters and the story line seemed to just Peter out quickly. Could have done more exploring of the relationship and what was to happen to the dog handling.where was that story line to go.. Would have been great had the writer delve into who would get Pickwick and where would he spend his life as a guide dog. On the other hand --the book was the relationship between the women so it seemed to end abruptly-- but that's the way books usually finish. Very nice read though and I would recommend it!
