Someone else not too long ago mentioned Crashed, but a different one. I actually plowed through that entire book while on my bike for 4 hours today (inside on a trainer). It was soooo good I loved it so much. Maybe go find the one by Julie Kriss.
Now I’m on the hunt for another one. Didn’t mean to read that one so quick :/

I just picked up a series of detective novels called The Neve and Egan Cases by Cristelle Comby. The unlikely private eye duo are a young university student (the first person narrator) named Alexandra and her blind history professor, 40ish Ashford Egan. I got the 4 volume complete set although so far I've only read the first one. It's pretty good, although Egan is a stereotypical bitter, angry blind guy. It's rather refreshing to for once read about a blind guy who doesn't have supernatural powers, although the book really plays up his vulnerability and self-pity to an almost disturbing degree. The way they solve the murder mystery in the first book kind of strains belief, but it was nice to read a genre other than romance for a change. And even though Egan is in some ways a frustrating character, the book talks about his blindness a LOT so there are plenty of devvy details.

Just finished Dangerous to know and Love and it was so good. It is my second time reading it, so I decided to share it. The Hero is deaf.

Kit Smart has a couple more books out - you may already realise this but I didn’t! Haha. I really enjoyed High Horse Bastard and just read Love Me Better. Trying to resist downloading Build a Baehr as I need to get actual things done today 😂

The characters are similar (both the male and female leads) but because I really liked the characters, that’s ok! 😂 AND it’s on kindle unlimited!!!

She has some freebies up our alley on her website also that were fun.

Me too!! I did find Love Me Better really devvy but in a different way. Lots around touch and erectile dysfunction and scarring rather than a ‘typical’ physical disability....

queenkala, that is hilarious!! I remember I was driving and spotted a sporty looking wheelchair in the back of a pick-up truck that had a disabled license plate on it and I began trying to catch up with the truck, driving all crazy, being unsafe, just to catch a glimpse - I was out of my head DEV CRAZY!! My behavior happened because I was in the process of reading that damn book and had just finished a particularly deevy part shortly before my encounter on the road. mwin - thanks for the information about the book! I will have to sequester myself when reading it in order to avoid any hazards from occurring !!!!

Pet peeve time. I like books with dudes who limp. It seriously annoys me when I wait forever for a series book where the Hero was much more disabled by whatever injury he has when he was a secondary character and he's far LESS affected as a main character. Walks better,better balance, etc. Even when the injury had had plenty of time to heal BEFORE his appearance in his own book. No reason for the improvement, in fact, as anyone who's dealt with almost any kind of chronic condition can tell you, it's more likely to have gotten worse than better-particularly in a historical setting.
The book I'm referring to is London's Late Night Scandal by Anabelle Bryant.

I just purchased "What the Heart Sees" (blindness) for my Kindle. Its book 4 of a series I believe, but I dont think I've read any of the others. I'll have to look into what the other 3 are.
