I really cannot get enough of Teresa Medeiros' works! I mean, she really knows how to create very heartwarming and very sensual romantic books and “Yours Until Dawn” is certainly no exception! “Yours Until Dawn” is the third book I read from Teresa Medeiros and it is about how a governess named Samantha Wickersham tries to help Gabriel Fairchild, who had lost his sight during the war, to cope with his blindness while loving him every inch of the way! Get r More...

Ah, yes. Another read of an author new to me. I’m really making quite the habit of this, aren’t I? And once again, I wasn’t disappointed. I’m not going to waste time re-writing the book blurb for you, rather, I’ll just give you my thoughts.

I loved the beginning of the story with the introduction of Samantha Wickersham to Gabriel Fairchild, which was both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Clearly a woman of great compassion, she made up her mind to do what she could to help him adjust to being blin More...

The first part of this book was wonderful. Based on the book premise, I had expected a very angsty story with a dark and tortured hero, but it was actually a fun read - and I even laughed so much on one scene (when Beckwith, Gabriel's buttler, "described" Samantha's looks to him) that I had to stop reading for a moment. I really enjoyed the banter between Gabriel and Samantha, and I especially liked the fact that she didn't pity him - like she said, he had enough pity for himself already, so he More...

I was expecting a darker feel to this novel due to the "tortured" hero theme but I was pleasantly surprised. It had it's moments but overall I found it rather charming.

I read a bunch of Teresa Medeiros while I was in highschool and it was until recently that someone made me remember the plot in Yours Until Dawn that I choose to reread it again out of boredom.

The book started by introducing Samantha Wickersham, a nurse arriving at Fairchild Park to attend to a recent war hero who became blinded and heartbroken after his fiance left him. Gabriel Fairchild is a stubborn and very proud young lord who had his sight and love robbed from him. He blamed himself deeply More...

I first read YOURS UNTIL DAWN by Teresa Medeiros several years ago and it has remained one of my all time favourite historical romances. Warm, funny, heartrending, tender and sensual, re-reading it is one of my guilty pleasures.

Gabriel Fairchild, Earl of Sheffield, is determined to show his fiancée that he has forsaken his rakish ways and is worthy of her love. To prove himself, Gabriel joins the Royal Navy but at the Battle of Trafalgar, he is wounded, leaving him facially scarred and blind. De More...

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is I thought there was a particular scene where the hero did something I thought rather mean to the heroine even though he did it unknowingly. I was totally surprised by the heroine's big reveal towards the end too. But as a whole I thought this book was really great.

I enjoyed this one.... it went FAST too... I liked that she stood up to him and didn't want to feel sorry for him for his blindness. I loved that their was an attraction that he felt even with his blindness. I loved the twists in this too... Great all around. I can't believe I waited this long to read!

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!ONE OF THE BEST ROMANCE BOOK I HAVE EVER READ SO FAR!

A lot of books have blown me away, this book however sent exploding like a black hole!

This is one of the MOST UNIQUE romance book i have ever encountered so far! TRUST ME! YOU WILL FIND IT UNIQUE TO!

How do you express admiration and pure adoration? Please do tell because i am having a hard time thinking of something that will describe this book. Beautiful is an understatement! THis book is divine!

It is wow! Th More...

2.5/5

geez, what a disappointing read! it started very promising with the female lead applying for the position as a nurse for the prickly male lead who lost his sight half a year ago. things start to pick up when he finally agrees to learn "how to be blind" and tries to cope with his abilities and the cards that he has been dealt in life. trial and error. cane and guide dog. and then unfortunately things started turning to mush. the hero who "miraculously" gains his sight again, the heroine who More...

I debated a little bit on whether to rate this book with 3 or 4 stars, and ultimately I decided on 3 because, while I enjoyed it, it just didn't have the lasting appeal for books I would stick in my 4 star (really, really liked) and 5 star (LOVED) categories.

The characters in this book were great. I felt both of them truly deserved their roles as the hero and heroine, and there was never a time when I just wanted to strangle them because they were being so unbelievably stupid that I couldn't sta More...

Since I read the e-book version, I'd no inkling to the plot of the novel when I first started reading this. After reading the first chapter, then I realise something, the protagonist is a blind man. A nurse, Samantha was hired to take care of him. Gabriel didn't really need a nurse, in actual fact, he should be scolded for being stubborn, but then how can you explain the once handsome coveted after man who became blind after his time in the army? As Gabriel opened up to Samantha, she was falling More...

What a deal!
http://anotherlookbookreviews.blogspo...

Great deal for your Kindle. If an US resident Yours Until Dawn was free. If you're Canadian, Yours Until Dawn was still an amazing price of $2.19. I highly recommend this great limited time offer.

Well I'll be honest and say that I purchased Yours Until Dawn because of that great deal I mention above. I follow Teresa Medeiros on Facebook and I read so many of her comments from her fans indicating that Yours Until Dawn was one of their favourites More...

In A Nutshell
Genre: Romance, Angst, Regency England, Historical Romance
Notes: Fluffy but with a plot strong enough to keep you interested the whole time.
Recommended For: People who like the Beauty as Florence Nightingale meets the Beast plots.

Proof that sometimes the run-of-the-mill romance novels can surprise you . . . I took a chance on this one because of it's high rating on Goodreads and it's synopsis reminded me so much of my favorite fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast, that I knew I had to g

This book starts out with young nurse Samantha Wickersham at a job interview for the position of taking care of return soldier Gabriel Fairchild. Wounded at war, Gabriel is now blind and in a state of anger and despair. With two previous nurses leaving the job just as fast as they started it, Samantha knows she has her work cut out for her. Gabriel is stubborn, angry and throws tantrums throughout the house by way of shouting and breaking things. Samantha has a way of putting him in his place an More...

Both hero and heroine were intriguing in this twisted tale, slightly like Beauty and the Beast. Beast is our wounded hero Gabriel Fairchild. His love for the beauteous Cecily led him to enlist in the Royal Navy and then led to his wounding and blindness. No one could love him now... not his family, not his Cecily and he raged against them all in his remote family home.

Then our Beauty, a mysterious nurse enters his life. Miss Samantha Wickersham doggedly goads Gabriel to make something of himself More...

Gabriel Fairchild, the Earl of Sheffield, was once a renowned rake, who stole women's hearts with but a flash of his devilish smile, who fell eagerly into his bed with but a flick of his wrist. Whose perfect visage, and irresistible charm, made him a man every woman swooned over, determined to catch. Until he lost his own heart to the most stunning beauty of the season, whose delicate visage and shy smile captured his soul, making him yearn to become a better man in her eyes. He joined the Royal More...

It’s not my first novel of Teresa Medeiros, and I must confess that I enjoy more her Cabot serie (After Midnight and The Vampire Who Loved Me). Yours Until Dawn isn’t bad (at all!) but I get a little tired at the end.
The true is: I love the first part of this book (Gabriel and Samantha in his house) and hate the part after (I can tell what happens or will spoil the story). I laugh, sigh, almost cry at the beginning… the first part was a rolling coaster of emotions… everything that I didn’t fell More...

His love for Cecily dies as he finds out she has visited him in the hospi More...

I did not like the girl's cowardice & cruelty.

I have two problems with this book. First it is a typical formulaic romance novel. It has all the predictable plot, action and characters. There is a nice surprise twist to the end, but there is nothing special, creative or delighting throughout the book. I almost feel like it was written by a computer with all the proper ingredients. My second problem is with the girl. Although the author described the girl as a coward, I found the girl's action More...

I'm speechless... This is my first Teresa Medeiros book and I'm so glad that I didn't miss this one for it's certainly magnificent!
The book's plot really intrigued me because I've never read about a blind hero before.
This story touched on all of my emotions, both a heart wrenching and a heart warming read. I have never felt my tears come so often to my eyes with any romance story that I read before. That's not to say that this is a gloomy story, no, it was truly very well balanced on that part More...

5 STARS

During a battle, Gabriel Fairchild was wounded and lost his sight but it seems he lost ore than his vision. His fiancee has left him, and his parents have banished him to Fairchild Park Manor. He has become surly and lost the will to care about his future. Enters Samantha Wickersham who has answered the butler's ad to be Gabriel's nurse. Despite his antics and grizzly mood Samantha sticks to Gabriel and is determined to have him function as normally as he can.

This story is very much like More...

It's been a while since I've read a good romance and this definitely was. I had not read anything by Teresa Medeiros before but I recognized her name from Twitter, so it caught my eye when I was browsing the romance section of the bookstore. This one in particular sounded interesting because the hero is blind. You don't see that everyday and I was curious to see if she could pull it off without all the meaningful glances and glaring that normally goes on in a romance novel.

She did, and more. I t More...

My English review: http://betweendandr.blogspot.com/2013...

Mon avis en français : http://betweendandr.blogspot.com/2013...

Tout d’abord, je tiens à remercier ma copinaute Luna05 pour m’avoir si chaudement recommandé ce titre car je ne connaissais absolument rien en matière de romance historique et pour mon premier Aventures & Passions, je voulais une valeur sûre, quelque chose que j’aimerais à coup sûr. Et je dois dire qu’avec ce roman de Teresa Medeiros, j'ai été bien servie ! En effet, ce l More...

Loved this book one of the first book's of Teresa's that I read and I loved it. So suspensful and heartbreaking and raw. I adore Gabriel in this. His struggle to deal with this blindness and stubborn headed pride at asking for help was expected but charming and fun to read. I liked Sam in this but I have to say I'm probably in the minority in this but I was disappointed with the surprise 'reveal'. Yes there were some clues hinting at something more going on that Sam didn't want Gabriel to know, More...

Late last night - I had to stay up to finish this great book! - I finished reading Yours Until Dawn by Teresa Medeiros. Absolutely enthralling for me. Gabriel is an Earl who was blinded during a naval battle and sent by his family to his childhood home to "recuperate" and learn how to live as a blind man. Everyone, including his fiancee, has abandoned him and can't "deal" with his blindess. Gabriel himself isn't having such a grand time either. Along comes Samantha, a nurse and former governess More...

This one should have been titled 'Yours Until Yawn' instead. Perhaps I should just avoid any romance novels written by anyone with any variant of Teresa as their first name. Hero is a blinded war hero, heroine his no-nonsense nurse with a secret. This premise sounds like it has my name stamped all over it (especially the secret part, which a lot of reviewers hated, but I guessed in the first ten pages and got excited about) but instead these are dreadfully boring people, there is no plot or any More...
