After a
terrible motorcycle accident that left his face scarred,
Joey Sutherland hides away on Geoff and Eli’s ranch,
convinced no man will ever see past his scars. He’s not
happy to be sent to pick up a musician who’ll be staying at
the ranch while the youth orchestra is in town, but he
agrees. Joey is even less happy when the musician, Robbie,
seems to be unwilling to do anything—until he realizes
Robbie is blind. Attracted, but insecure and unwilling to
take advantage of Robbie, Joey is determined to keep their
interactions to friendship only.
Robert
Edward Jameson, aka Robbie, is tired of his stifling life,
filled with people who won’t let him do anything for
himself. Life at the farm, with Joey and the others, gives
him a freedom he’s never known. He also finds himself
attracted to Joey. Will Robbie and Joey dare to step out of
their safe little worlds to be together?
Love
Means…No Boundaries is without a doubt my favorite
of the Love Means series. Strong, kind Joey is easy to
sympathize with. The accident that scarred his face robbed
him of his self-confidence as well, until he doesn’t believe
anyone will ever want him again. Robbie has his own
problems. His blindness leads others to treat him like he’s
helpless, which he isn’t. Watching him blossom with each
new experience was lovely. He also has an overprotective
family that doesn’t have any idea he’s gay. The scenes
between Joey and Robbie are sweet and a little tentative,
but in a nice way. One of the best things about Joey and
Robbie’s relationship is that neither of them treats
Robbie’s blindness as an insurmountable obstacle. There are
still a great many things Robbie can do, and Joey is always
willing to help him figure out how. While the plot and
conflict mostly went along as I’d expected, I enjoyed the
ride anyway. It was also good to check back in with Geoff
and Eli, and Len. Anyone who’s been following the series
will definitely want to pick Love Means…No Boundaries
up. If you haven’t read any of the Love Means
series, this one stands alone reasonably well, but I’d
suggest reading the other two first to get the back story of
the characters. |
