A great romance amidst an intriguing mystery

I have to admit to having a love, hate relationship with this book. It was an achingly sweet romance. There was so much emotion in this story that I really connected with. It brought tears to my eyes, made me laugh, made me cry and made me want to yell at the main characters for being thick headed. I really enjoyed the storyline. It was well written and engaging. I did struggle a bit with the narration. The narrator's style just didn't seem to fit with the style of the book. That's just my opinion though. Overall I throughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to others!

Mara and Joey!

Mara has not had an easy life. She was in a car accident with her parents and her sister which left her the sole survivor but she had to adjust to a new life of being blind. With the support of her brother and close friends she is determined to remain independent and run the family business which is a flower shop.

Joey is a police detective in Seattle who has just found out his older brother, who is also the Eldridge town Sheriff, has been killed. He returns to his hometown for the funeral and runs into Mara, the girl he had feelings for when they were in high school.

The search for the truth about his brother’s death brings Mara and Joey closer but will they be able to find out what really happened and what happens when it is time for Joey to return to Seattle?

This is a romantic suspense about family and love that is set in a small town. Not only did I enjoy the characters of Mara and Joey but the secondary characters as well. I listened to the audible version of this book and thought the narrator did a great job of bringing the story to life. 🎧 AudiobookObsession🎧

Second Chance Done Right

This was my introduction to Lyz Kelley and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It was nice to get the perspective of both Joey and Mara. The pace of the story was nice and even, flowed very well. Meghan Kelly's narration was spot on! What initially drew me to this story was 1. Meghan Kelly! 2. the synopsis was great and drew me in. The characters of Joey and Mara were great and worked very well together. Second chance romances are slowly becoming one of my favorite tropes and Lyz Kelley has done a spectacular job.

Love is Blind?

I thoroughly enjoyed this romantic suspense featuring a great cast of characters and sympathetic narration by Meghan.

Fair warning, although their is a HEA ending, the overlying plot does not conclude in this book.

Great Story and Narration

The author does a great job of bringing us an intriguing mystery with a sweet small town second chance romance. The mystery aspects of the story made it feel very suspenseful while keeping me on my toes. Simultaneously the romantic elements had me cheering and hoping these two amazing, strong and inspirational characters would find a happy ending. The author does an amazing job of addressing Mara's blindness throughout the book and giving us a very original story.

The narrator gave a great performance that brought out the strengths of the characters and an appropriate amount of emotion throughout.

Wow

Reviewing For Audiobook Obsession

Wow seems like such an inadequate word in order to describe this book. I immediately fell in love with this book. The characters were exceptional and the storyline just enthralled me right from the very start. This is the first book I have encountered by this author but it most certainly will not be the last. Such passion pours from the words of this book. Absolutely incredible.

Second Chance Romance

Blinded by Lyz Kelley is a second chance romance story that I listened to on audio narrated by Meghan Kelly. This is the first book in the Elkridge Series. This is the first book of Lyz's that I have read and look forward to reading more from her in the future. Meghan did an amazing job narrating with the different voices she used for the characters. I liked that the book switched between Mara and Joey's points of views so you could really get into both characters heads. I would highly recommend this book to any one who loves Second Chance Romances.

Blinded

Reviewed: 04-02-19

Both the main characters have sad backgrounds of things the must overcome as well as Joey having to deal with the death of his brother. While coming home Joey sees Mara for the first time in ten years and he finds he still has the same feelings for her that he did before he left. With this visit he is able to see where being with Mara will take him as well as see his family and try to solve his brother’s murder. The book wraps up nicely but still has me looking forward to the next in the series.
Narration was fantastic as well. I love the way Meghan’s voice is so versatile and can do voices so well.

Sensitive and wonderful second chance love

I loved this story but it did take a while to warm up at the beginning, I loved Mara's attitude which felt real and Joey's understanding and way of supporting her was truly beautiful! I was expecting a bit more action/suspense and we didn't get full closure over this but then that makes it more understandable with the ending I suppose (don't want to add spoilers!). Meghan Kelly did a great job as always narrating her way through this with dual perspectives from both Mara and Joey. Looking forward to more stories from Elkridge! #audiobookobsession
