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.

Beautiful Story!

I love Melissa Foster's writing.This is the sixth book in the Series, but you can easily listen to it as a standalone. Wow! I love Janie and Boyd's story! I was hooked from the first page to the end. Their chemistry is evident and strong. More than that, they save each other from their darkness. This is now my favorite couple. Janie is a beautiful, independent, strong and feisty woman! Boyd is handsome, strong, supportive and protective. Their story is sweet and heartwarming. The narration is great and easy to listen. I love BJ Harrison's soft and sexy voice. . Honestly, this story deserved more than five stars review. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

One of my favorite Melissa Foster stories

I listened to this book after reading it in print when it was released 2 years ago. It is STILL one of my favorites! B.J. Harrison was spot on as usual for the narration.

I was instantly drawn to the characters. I was so invested that I frequently felt my stomach flip flop with anticipation. Janie’s strong, independent personality fit so perfectly with Boyd’s drive, determination, and protectiveness. I especially loved the sweet, emotional moments they shared together.

I love how Melissa continues to be able to create characters that come from a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and challenges. Keep them coming!

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!
