Blinded by a bad date, Cecelia lives and works on a ranch that helps victims of domestic abuse. All she wants is to stay on the ranch, a place where she can find her way around in her perpetual darkness. She has no intention of dating again, especially not Marine Force Recon veteran, Brian “Barbie” Ken, even if his voice is so sexy it makes her knees weak.Assigned to protect the patrons and … patrons and workers at the ranch, Brian is fascinated by everything about Cecelia and has made it his life’s mission to take her out on a date. She might be the biggest challenge of his life. Convincing her to leave the ranch will take more than smooth talking after an ill-fated date robbed her of her eyesight. It will take Blind Trust on her part to go out again.
When her cousin ends up in the hospital in San Diego, Cecelia is desperate to visit. Brian offers to drive her. Cecelia agrees to go, taking a leap of faith to leave her familiar surroundings. When a sex trafficker kidnaps Cecelia from the hospital, Brian crosses the border into Mexico to rescue her and bring her home.

Blind Trust by Debra Parmley
This brotherhood protector book starts out with Brian and he’s new to the brotherhood.
Cecilia is a blind secretary there as she works through her problems.
The things I love the most about this series are the protection that is given to the women and the classes they take to protect themselves.
The complex is getting repaired and with her being blind she almost walked right into it but Hank spoke to her before the accident happened.
Brian is fascinated by her and her voice. She finds him appealing as well and knows his scent and touch already. He asks her out but she declines-she’s fearful of being abused again-from her past…
Like location for Three C Ranch and all it stands for.
He drives her to San Diego to see her friend and that’s 3 days one way that he looks forward to.
Author has done her homework on one being blind as I am-so informative and correct information is given to her abilities.
Love hearing of the road travel-so cool!
Scary moments when she is taken against her will. Brian fears they will take her to Mexico…
Love how he calls his brother from another mother (LOL) to help him…
Love all the action and adventure and travel and sights visited-as a blind person it meant so much to me!
Can’t wait for the next one in his series.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
When Brian ‘Barbie’ Ken first sees Cecelia he is struck by her beauty, her silver hair is unusual and striking. When Hank calls to her as she’s walking directly toward a broom blocking the way, he realizes she’s blind.
When they’re introduced there’s none of the typical fawning that some women do over a man who’s single and built and Brian finds that more than a little attractive.
His job here at the Courage and Confidence Center for Women, aka Triple C Ranch or The Three C’s Ranch will be part of the round-the-clock security provided by Hank’s Brotherhood Protectors. The personal security is needed at least until the rebuild from an attack is completed and a state of the art security system is installed.
As Brian falls into the routine he also finds himself trying to get to know Cecelia better, he also wants to ask her out.
While he’s unsuccessful in getting a date off the property, he does manage to have lunch with Cecelia and tries to come up with other date like activities to do with her on the property. Then fate steps in and lend him a hand, Cecelia needs to go to San Diego, to see her cousin is in the hospital.
Brian offers to take her as he has some business to attend to on the base at Coronado.
I love this relationship and how it progresses, the gift Brian gives her before they start the trip, the meals, the absolute understanding that she is independent even though she can’t see melted my heart.
Of course there had to be something that went FUBAR and I held my breath and sniffled through all of that.
I couldn’t put this book down, I love the way Debra has added this Ranch into the Brotherhood Protector’s world I have to go back and read her other books in this world. I really hope she plans on writing more.
Excellent and touching book. Cecelia was blinded by a date gone bad. She works at the Three C’s ranch in Montana. Brian (Barbie) was a security guard there for the residents and workers. When she wanted to go to San Diego to visit her cousin who was in the hospital, he drove since he had to go to the Naval Base anyway. While there she was kidnapped by sex traffickers while in the hospital. Thanks to Brian giving her a necklace before they left that had a GPS tracker in it helped to alert him she was in trouble. Informative, sweet, first love and danger rolled into one. Excellent read. Received this book free for an honest review. (less)
