Publisher's summary

Welcome back to Aspen Cove, where seeing is believing....

Artist Sosie Grant has always loved what Aspen Cove had to offer. It was a place to let her muse run wild. But when a bout with Lyme disease leaves her unable to paint, she comes back to Aspen Cove to say good-bye to the only life she’s ever known. Abandoned by her agent in the small town, she is forced to rely on the kindness of strangers; specifically Baxter Black, the reluctant resident asked to take her in.

Construction worker Baxter Black isn’t good at caring for people. Nurturing role models were absent in his life since his own mother abandoned him and his twin at birth. With the town’s recent growth, business is booming, and taking care of Sosie Grant is the last thing he needs.

But when he sees her struggling to get her life on track, he finds himself drawn to the beautiful woman with an artist’s eye and a heart of gold. Is Baxter what Sosie needs, or will he be another disappointment along the way? Can Sosie nurture Baxter’s abandoned heart and prove that love is possible?

Love is Blind

I can't imagine losing my eye sight and having to find my way in the darkness. It must have been even harder for someone whose life was all about color as an artist, but despite being upset and fighting it Sosie is still able to put together visions in her mind. I loved the app on her phone that when she pointed it at something would tell her what color it was. It seemed like Sosie spent her life making sure her mother and brother were taken care of, but no was around to help her out when she needed them and was worried about finishing paintings or having to pay back an advance with money she no longer had. Baxter didn't want to take her in even if it was only temporary. He felt like he could barely care for himself never mind someone else. I was amazed at how she helped him put together colors for interior designs for his clients without being able to see what she was working with.

The narrator added plenty of humor and emotion with his voice changes and inflections. I found myself laughing out loud and smiling at the sweet moments.

Another winner by this talented author

In this audiobook we are back in Aspen Cove as the author gives us another touching romance in this already wonderful series.
This time the story belongs to artist Sosie Grant , who lives in Denver but has a studio in town and long time resident Baxter Black.
After getting Lyme disease, Sosie ends up blind. When her agent abandons her in Aspen Cove , it is the kind people of the town that help her. Though reluctantly, Baxter is one of those.
Little did either realize that from that point on, their lives would change forever. Baxter teaches Sosie that she can do anything she wants and shows her that love is possible. While Sosie teaches him that he’s worthy of love .
But what happens when thanks to Baxter, Sosie is able to fulfill a commitment and becomes even more successful, while Baxter might be left behind?
At times heartbreaking, it was also heartwarming and thoughtful. Can’t wait for the next audiobook in the series.
Lastly, the narrator once again did an excellent job delivering the various voices and the feelings of the characters.

Losing her sight allowed her to see

Artist Sosie Grant has lost her vision due to Lyme disease. It was supposed to be temporary, but after six months she still has to come to terms with the fact that she will never paint again. Aspen Cove is where her studio was. She loves the little town and its people. Her agent leaves her behind after a fight. Now she has to do the one thing she never did, 'ask for help.'

Baxter Black eavesdrops on her conversation and when she is left behind, she sits in the diner for hours with no clue as to how to move on. It is Doc who informs him that he is the only person in town with an empty room for her until she gets her life together. Baxter doesn't take care of people, at all. But he doesn't seem to mind taking care of her. One day at a time, they start to 'see' each other as someone important.
