Doesn’t he get that she’s blind?

I loved the story premise. Centered around the Cades, this journey is Jared and Amberley’s and it was filled with hope, devotion, love, frustrations and many tears along the way. Very inspiring and so realistic, having to overcome hiccups (handicaps) along life’s bumpy roads to finally find their HEA together. Along with added tidbits of the family(s) to make you want the rest of their stories next!
When Amberley started to have trouble with her eyes she didn’t tell anyone because she was afraid she would have to stop barrel racing. When she got the diagnoses she shut herself off from everyone even Jared her best friend. Jared doesn’t see her any different and encourages her not to give up her dream of barrel racing so he would help her. Jared begins to fall in love with Amberley’s determination and begins to try to recover from his injuries too.
Jared decides he feels something for Amberley but she makes him work for it while she works with disabled children to show them it can be done. Does Jared have the same courage that Amberley does to be able to deal with it all or take the easy way out.

A MUST READ!!
Amberley is the kind of heroine you hope to find, but never knew you were searching for. Jared is a walking dream that steps from a imaginative figure into real life. Falling for a Cowboy blends heartbreaking realism with courageously inspiring characters. Karen Rock has created a piece of hope in what seems like a hopeless situation. At her lowest point, Amberley faced her fears. She may have lost her faith but Jared refused to allow her to lose that spark that made her into the woman she was meant to be. Through the tears, despite the fears and because of faith, what began as a tragedy became a triumph. Falling for a Cowboy is phenomenally fascinating storytelling.
