My Review:
It’s 19th century Chicago and Nurse Lorenna Fields is hard-working, dedicated and – self conscious. She has a glaring birthmark on her face which she insists has repelled many suitors, leaving her a spinster. When a rogue, mysterious man is admitted into her medical ward, she grows to care for him and lovingly gives him the nickname “Mr. Blackeyes.” He has suffered amnesia and blindness after a recent accident.
While Lorenna cares for him, they become close friends and Mr. Blackeyes develops a relationship with Christ. Lorenna feels comfortable with their relationship because he cannot see the birthmark on her face. As Mr. Blackeyes’s memory slowly returns so does his eyesight. But he keeps his recently gained eyesight a secret from Lorenna because of her insecurity. Can Mr. Blackeyes love Lorenna after his tumultous past? Can love base itself on appearance alone?
Andrea Boeshaar’s Unexpected Love (Seasons of Redemption, Book 3) deftly handles these questions and provides a page turning romance that shows the power and depth of true love.
