In TOUCHED BY LOVE…
Fiercely independent Janie Jansen has always believed there were worse things in life than being blind, and she’s spent her life proving it. She’s moved away from her overprotective parents, built a life in New York City, and is one of the top technical editors in her company. That is, until an unfortunate accident turns her life upside down and she’s forced to give up the … give up the very independence she’s worked so hard to achieve.
Firefighter Boyd Hudson pushed past his tragic past and is weeks away from accomplishing his ultimate dream―being accepted into medical school. His intense focus on his goal while working three jobs has taken its toll. With a trail of failed relationships behind him, Boyd is painstakingly aware of his limitations and avoids girlfriends completely―a difficult task given his attraction to one of his co-workers.
When Boyd comes to Janie’s rescue, she’s forced to accept his help, and Janie discovers there’s more to the sexy-sounding office flirt than one-liners. Their connection deepens as Janie heals, but it turns out that Janie isn’t the only one who needs healing. Boyd’s painful past comes back to haunt him, threatening their relationship and forcing Boyd to reevaluate everything he knows about himself.

This is a beautifully written book. Absolutely love Boyd and Janie throughout the whole book. It was predictable but still worth reading. My only negative it took long for the drama, then once it was introduced, it was the end of the book. To me the ending felt rushed. Still a great series.
I have now found a new favorite book by Melissa Foster, and this says a lot about this book, because I have loved every one of her books that I have read, but this one is special. Janie is blind, but this does not define her. She is beautiful, inside and out, and her blindness has made her stronger and more independent. Then there is Boyd, a sexy fireman and EMT, that is hoping to get into medical school. He also has his own demons from his past, but he is the sweetest man. Their story will keep you reading and/or listening, even when you should be sleeping, or doing other things, but this book is so worth it. It makes you really think about a lot of things, but it at the same time is hot, romantic, and has a wonderful story. I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator, B.J. Harrison, does an outstanding job. He can do so much, just using his voice. I highly recommend this book, whether you read it, or listen to it.
Touched by Love is book six in the Love in Bloom: The Remingtons series. Of all the books I have read or listened to lately, this one is by far the most powerful. The story felt so real, the emotions so potent. I enjoyed listening to this narrator, and I absolutely loved this story. I HIGHLY recommend it.
I love Melissa Foster’s writing.This is the sixth book in the Series, but you can easily listen to it as a standalone. Wow! I love Janie and Boyd’s story! I was hooked from the first page to the end. Their chemistry is evident and strong. More than that, they save each other from their darkness. This is now my favorite couple. Janie is a beautiful, independent, strong and feisty woman! Boyd is handsome, strong, supportive and protective. Their story is sweet and heartwarming. The narration is great and easy to listen. I love is soft and sexy voice. Honestly, this story deserved more than five stars review. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.
Touched by Love saw me read it in a day, Melissa Foster had me completely and utterly hooked on Janie and Boyd’s story. As with all her books I loved this one, but there was just something about this story that compelled me to not put it down. I am glad I read it on my phone as it was with me everywhere!
Janie is blind – and that put a whole different perspective on the story and also made this even more of a heartwarming and emotional read. Never have two characters been so perfect for each other than these two, and I don’t think I have read a book where the main character is blind.
Boyd is a part time firefighter who also works alongside Janie – he has long admired her strength and ability to not allow her disability hinder anything she does. So when he rescues her from falling on the train tracks at the beginning I just knew he was the one for her. Not without his own problems, the two quickly fall for each other the spark, between them making it impossible for them not to!
The characters – you will fall in love with and connect with, as you do with all of Melissa Fosters creations. And this one can easily be read as a stand alone, though lets face it you will want to go back and read everything she has ever written!
