3.5 blind devotion stars
I am slowly, very slowly getting through my NR Walker backlog.
Now, I did like Isaac and Carter's story, I did have a couple of issues with it - mainly the way at times it was treated like Isaac was dumb or a child because he was blind - no bueno for me. But this might not ping anyone elses radar
I loved these guys, I got frusrated with these guys, I wanted to scream and shout at these guy, and at times I hated these guys. But I couldn't stop listening to these guys.
And, any book that has animal in it is a big bonus for me.
Now to move on to the next book.

Another author whose stories just draw me in, great characters, good plots and all just hungtogether really well. 5*
Carter, new vet in town, meets Isaac and his guide dog as part of his rounds but Isaac's interactions with his dog set off warning alarms. The story takes us through their romance but also through Isaac learning how to be an out gay man and also learning to interact normally with others, especially Carter and Brady the dog. Isaac's character is both lovable and annoying at the same time but as the story unfolds you can see why he is so abrasive.
12.7.20 reread - now I would rate this as a 4*, I enjoyed it still but now I need more oomph in a story. For a character driven story, I thought it was lovely still. It is 7 yrs since I read this so just goes to show the when is as important as the what!

I've been looking at this book and debating whether or not to read it since I bought it in January... One of the reasons I put it off is because I wasn't sure how much focus would be put on Isaac's blindness. I always fear that in stories where one of the MC's has a disability (any type of disability) there is so much emphasis on that fact that it overpowers the romance that I would like to read about.
But I really should not have worried in this case. While, yes, Isaac being blind is an integral fact of the story, it was handled with dignity, respect and common sense. There was no feeling throughout the book that Carter treats him differently because of it. And that is the way I had hoped it would be done.
Carter and Isaac make a great couple. Their relationship isn't easy, issues arise and need to be solved. And while maybe at times I felt that Carter had the patience of a saint lol, (I know I would have blown up well before he did) it didn't feel unnatural or contrived.
I'm looking forward to reading the next one in this series.

A sweet story about a vet, a blind man and a guide dog.
A story where the protagonist actually do grow, and evolve. Very good character creation by the author, I liked it.

Issac's blindness was well written and the challenges that surround it. Issac was very vulnerable and afraid and at times treated Carter horribly. I liked that Carter stood up to him and treated him like an equal despite him being blind. Overall I enjoyed this story.

Blind faith is a book about Issac a blind teacher who lost his parents and his eyesight in an automobile accident at 8 years old. He has a hard time with attachment because of losing his parents so young. His sister Hannah helps Issac out with some basic things but for the most part he is independent and able to do a lot for himself even though he is blind. Carter is hired to be the new vet and he meets Issac when he takes over the previous vets patients. Carter is intrigued by Issac and realizes how good looking Issac is even though he is blind. They develop a relationship with each other that is a bit tumultuous at best. Issac is moody and Carter needs space when he is angry. They do love each other but there is strain between them because Carter realizes that Issac is not taken to his new guide dog Brady. Issac is grieving the loss of his beloved Rosie his previous guide dog. Eventually Brady becomes the guide dog that Issac needs. It takes an incident for this to happen. Carter is frustrated by Issac behavior towards Brady. The story entertained me but the relationship issues was a bit repetitive to me.

Sometimes you just find one of those rare books that are just an emotional roller coaster from the beginning to the end and just leave you in stunned silence. Blind Faith by N.R. Walker was one of those books for me! There were spots in this book where I felt like my heart was breaking right along with the characters in this book. N.R. Walker was a new author for me and I must say this book was quite a ride. Male/Male romance is one of my favorite generes just because the stories seem more real and raw to me and this was no exception. I loved this book! I am definitely experiencing a total book hangover from this one.
