Definitely! Apparently we're minorities, lol.
I actually only discovered Dancing at Midnight recently. Not sure HOW I missed it the first time. I have a shelf dedicated to books with heroes that limp.

Rush by Emma Scott (2015- blind) Holding Her Hand by Tammy Faulkner (2015- deaf) Vivid by Jessica Wilde (2015- war injury- blind and in a wheelchair for part) Incapable by Ainslie Paton- 2015- blind) Life Can Change by Janae Mitchell (2016- triple amp [I'm pretty sure! I read this a few months ago]) Archer's Voice by Mia Sheridan (2014- mute) @celaena, seems we have the same taste in books  , I´ve read all of the books on your list except for Holding her Hand. “Rush” and the sequel “Endless Possibilities” are some of my favorites, the second one was pretty devy for me. I actually started reading the Lunar Chronicles, because of your recommendation, so far, very entertaining.
On the devy side I´m reading Wheels of Steel which is surprisingly entertaining and devy, the main character has CP and I never had interest in CP before.
I have a huge list of books I want to read, I´m just going to share with you the ones I´ve read and liked, though I think most of them have been mentioned here on PD.

I´ve just read "Me before you" by Jojo Moyes. The main character is a quadriplegic and while the book is really writen well, I thought that the dev factor was very low. And the book was so sad, I cried on and off for about an hour while reading it.

Annabelle Costa's book The Ugly Duckling (an earlier version was published on here as The Best Friend) is out now. It's substantially longer and even more delightful. The hero reamins the sweetest man in the world and the heroine's insecurity is more understandable and I like her a lot more in this version. It's selling at a very low price at the moment (just 99p on Amazon UK)!

New book alert... maybe? If these haven't been mentioned yet: The Season of You and Me by Robin Constantine came out this past May (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26116514-the-season-of-you-me) Fluffy YA- Our female protag (17 y.o.) is staying with her dad for the summer and working as a camp counselor. Our male protag is a low level para who hurt himself doing stupid stunts a year ago. He'll be going back to work as a counselor at the same day camp and is worried about how people will perceive him. Lots of squishy fluff, no sex. I also accidentally read a Mormon Wheeler Romance (when I start reading, I commit). Not my style, but just in case: Road of Faith (Happy Eternally After (LDS Romance) Book 1) by Emma Rylin Ballard that just came out in April www.goodreads.com/book/show/29872954-road-of-faith-happy-eternally-after?ac=1&from_search=trueSuper religious- lots of faith and sermon-y stuff. I should have realized that LDS mean Latter-Day Saints. I did spend time in Utah last year. Lots of bible passages and praying, and not the good kind with a girl screaming out to God while a guy does nice things to her below the belt... Lots of mention of the Heavenly Father and absolutely no sex... legit- not even a single kiss, except on the cheek. Like I said, not my style, but the injury angle does seem to be covered often in religious books. If you have a Kindle, I'm happy to "lend" these out if anyone is interested! |
