Re-read November 2015: Just a great, great book to visit again! I loved it just as much the second time as the first!

Even better than the original Blind Faith, if you can believe it. N.R. Walker digs deep into Issac and Carter's relationship in this one and rips the reader's heart to shreds with a shitload of angst. But in the best way, because the HEA payoff was absolutely worth every tear. I just fucking loved it!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

Through These Eyes kind of ruined the first book Blind Faith for me. The story digs deeper into Carter and Isaac’s relationship and personalities, and it is ugly. (It’s not Carter whom I’m talking about, though.)

Their relationship is very unbalanced. While Carter is amazingly loving and understanding and caring with Isaac, Isaac is hurtful, insincere, and selfish. Blindness is not an excuse for everything.

The story is about a relationship crisis of the two of them, and this crisis has many cause ...more

I was a fan of “Blind Faith”, book 1 in the series. NR Walker has fast become a must-read for me.

Book 2, “Through These Eyes” is even better!!! Carter, our patient and adoring vet, is even more amazing. Isaac, our blind and stubborn teacher, is even more temperamental, but even more lovable in his vulnerability. And the reader is treated to their LOVE for each ...more

I hate to be a party pooper, but unfortunately I didn't like this book at all.

I really liked both Carter and Isaac in the first story and although sometimes Isaac wasn't an easy character to like I still sympathized with his plight and I felt so sorry for him at the end when he tried to prove himself, but ended up in the hospital, it was a humiliating experience I didn't think he deserved. But in this book Isaac just pushed all my limits and I kinda hated him by the end and I wanted Carter to ju I hate to be a party pooper, but unfortunately I didn't like this book at all.

But in this book Isaac just pushed all my limits and I kinda hated him by the end and I wanted Carter to just move on and find someone else, someone who'd be less ungrateful and egocentric.

The whole thing with Josh was extremely frustrating. I was so pissed on Carter's behalf, because Isaac's cozy relationship with Josh drove me crazy. I mean he asked Isaac out in front of his boyfriend, so I think it's entirely justified for the said boyfriend to dislike him to put it mildly. And still Isaac was blind (no pun intended) to Carter's reaction or he just didn't care enough and was so enamoured with Josh, that he kept inviting him over and chatting with him constantly, smiling and laughing with him, while he bristled and treated Carter like dirt for every little wrongdoing. I was so angry when Carter's been happy when Isaac so much as smiled at him a little when he got out of the car, but he's been laughing with Josh when Carter returned home and Carter didn't hear him laugh in days. I know at the end Isaac said it's never been 'like that' with Josh, but I still see it as a betrayal and if Josh didn't turn out to be a con man, who knows where their relationship with Isaac would have gone. It certainly seemed to me he has a lot more in common with Josh, than he's ever had with Carter, who looked like an odd man out for the most time. We didn't have Isaac's pov and I still have my doubts. For such a big built up I'd like to see a more definite resolution.

The relationship between Carter and Isaac became too one-sided for my liking. It's like Carter was the one doing all the loving (again no pun intended) and Isaac just accepted it. It's like Carter's whole world revolved around Isaac and he's been dancing on his tiptoes around him all the time. It was too much even bearing Isaac's disability in mind. And when shit hit the fan I really thought Carter was absolutely right, I mean there's so much fraud and crime going on it doesn't take much to fool even an able-sighted person, so how could he not worry about Isaac? I don't think Carter did something awful, which he needed to apologize so much for, and the amount of pain and heartbreak he went through has been too much for me. I wanted for him to just forget about Isaac and fucking move on and stop calling him and leaving the humble voicemails.

And at the end it was resolved just too quickly and easily and not at all satisfying for me. Apparently the whole thing with that operation in Argentina was just because Isaac wanted to be able to see Carter. He hid it well, I'd say, because I'd never think that, judging by his behaviour toward Carter during the whole story. I'd like for Isaac to do a lot more groveling for all that grief he's caused to Carter and Hannah. This small sorry just doesn't cover it and it reminds me of all his little sorrys he's been saying to Carter in the beginning of their relationship.

The sad thing is that after all that drawn out affair with Josh and Isaac's hideous behaviour, his hurtful words and Carter's long suffering I just stopped rooting for them as a couple and the whole HEA with a couple therapy, new house and the rings just didn't cover the previous mess for me and prevented me from enjoying the story. And I feel like it spoiled the first book for me too, as I wouldn't want to re-read it now, knowing what happened later.

I'm nervious about the sequel to my favorite Breaking Point now, since I just don't want to see things go that bad for Mattew and Kira :/ ...more

3½ Stars! Another beautiful story about Isaac and Carter, not as good as the first book, but still quite enjoyable.

I seem to be in the minority with my rating on this book, most people loved this one better than Blind Faith, for me it was the opposite. My problem here was that the dialogue and scenarios were repeated one too many times. However, the underlying theme in the book, low-life’s preying on those who are at disadvantage, was very well done. There are those with absolutely no morals whatsoever, and that they would bring false hope to someone and steal not only their money, but shatter their dreams, makes me sick.

I’ve seen many people with disabilities from birth say they don’t miss what they never had, but if you had something and then lost it, it’s a much harder cross to bear. Isaac could see at one time, and even though he’s been without sight for nearly two decades and has adjusted well, there are times when it cuts to his core. He becomes an uncle when the lovely Hannah gives birth. He can touch little Ada, smell her, but his longing to be able to see her touched me so deeply it brought tears to my eyes.

"Isaac, baby, you okay?"
He shrugged.
"Isaac?"
He sighed into my chest. "I've been blind for almost nineteen years…" He trailed off.
"And?"
"I mean, I've always wanted my sight back, but there's only been a handful of times when I'd have honestly killed to be able to see."
Oh, Isaac.
I tightened my arms around him and kissed the side of his head. "And today was one of those days." It wasn't a question.
He nodded against me, and his voice was quiet, "Just once, ya know? If I could see her, just once."

Wow…break my heart why don’t you! The author has an amazing ability to allow the reader to feel along with the characters, so much so, that at times I felt like I was suffocating.

Gosh, I just loved Carter, but sometimes I wanted to smack him for allowing Isaac to be so cruel to him. I found it hard to accept that after a year of Carter’s devotion and undying love, that Isaac could still think Carter thought of him as a burden. He has trouble believing this man that literally has brought so much joy into his life. Carter has to reiterate over and over again that Isaac’s blindness is a part of him, and no matter, he loves him unconditionally. Hence, the scenarios I was speaking of playing themselves over and over.

Hannah has a bigger part in this book and it was a joy to see her again, along with her wonderful husband Carlos. Also Mark, who doesn’t love Mark, with his over the top comments and his crazy ways?! What a character, and he’s the most devoted friend to Carter and now to Isaac too. I would love to see N.R. Walker write a book about him. He so complex and would make for an interesting read.

I enjoyed the dramatic ending and then the sweetness that followed. I think Carter and Isaac’s story played out nicely in the first book, Blind Faith, and could have ended there, but I’m grateful to the author for allowing us back into their lives. They will remain forever in my heart.

Once again thank you to Susan for recommending this series. Now tell me my friend what book should I move onto next?

I had issues going into this with Issac and not really liking him from the first book. I warmed up a bit by the end of Blind Faith and honestly it took me a while to warm up to him again here.

I had to put the book down because he was pissing me off and oddly I eventually ended up reading this one backwards. I needed assurance that Carter was being treated respectfully by Issac because it bothered me that much. An odd way to go but it worked for me and when I could connect emotionally with Issac ...more

Isaac is finally starting to allow himself to love and allow himself to be loved, he learns good things like love, are worth the risk. Carter wants to move with Isaac, but Isaac doesn’t want to be a burden, he doesn’t want Carter to see how much he struggle. Although Carter loves him exactly how he is, Isaac wants to be ‘normal’ for him, he wants to be able to see.

I really liked the tension which the character of Joshua brought into the story. The arguments that arose due to Issac's involvement with him were valid and understandable.

Once more, it's really nice to have a well thought out plot without the usual conflicts (e.g. homophobia, miscommunication, cheating, religion etc.) which are ubiquitous in other gay romance stories. Another winner!

One year after Blind Faith ends, Carter and Isaac are still going strong. They decide to move in together, but Isaac's biting temper and new friend, Joshua, threaten to tear them apart.

I'm pretty conflicted rating this book. I really enjoy N.R. Walker's work and consider her to be a great writer. However, this series just didn't grab me the way her other books did. I think the reason for that is Isaac. He has to be one of the most unlikable characters I've ever read. He was prone to temper tantrums and hissy fits, said the most hurtful things to people he supposedly loved when they dard disagree with him and was just an overall impatient, mean person. Throughout this book and the last, he would hurt someone, apologize and then hope everything would be forgotten, only for the cycle to begin all over again. I understood his reasoning behind his friendship with Joshua, but the way he pushed all of his loved ones away for a stranger who talked a good game saddened me.

(view spoiler)

I said this in my review of Blind Faith and I'll say it again. Carter has the patience of a saint. Even when times were good, Isaac's sarcastic and petulant remarks just rolled right off him. How he managed to do it, I don't know. One thing I've noticed in m/m books recently is the partner who has been hurt and/or wronged having to be the "bigger person" and beg and plead for the other partner to take him back. When everything exploded, I wondered why Carter was expected to fight for Isaac when he was the one who pushed Carter away so viciously, employing all of his best tactics to rip Carter's heart, mind and soul to shreds. By that point in the book, I just wanted Carter to move on (preferably with Mark) and be happy without the threat of a tantrum or hurtful remark. He, in my eyes, started to become more of a doormat to Isaac's emotional abuse and manipulation, which was hard to watch.

As I said before, N.R. Walker is a great walker, so there's something to be said about her writing when she makes me want to reach through my kindle and pummel Isaac because he was being such a horrible person. :)

* One star for N.R. Walker, who elicited such a strong emotional response from me.

* One and a half stars for Carter, Mark, Hannah, Carlos, Brady and Missy because they were all truly delightful characters.

Unfortunately, two and half stars were removed because of Isaac and his treatment of everyone. Even though the HEA was sweet, I just couldn't be truly happy because I felt like it was only a moment of calm before Isaac's drama started again. ...more

And that is one of the reasons why the story line closely resembles the first book with basically the same kind of problems and also the same kind of outcome. Of course, the events triggering any sort of mishap are different, but it's again Isaac's deep-lying insecurities and his stubborn and sometimes bad temper that really open the door for unpleasant situations. Of course, Carter's (view spoiler) doesn't help either. All of that means that the story line is rather predictable and nothing new. But it was still highly enjoyable and entertaining - and I wouldn't want to change it since it was exactly what I needed right now.

The reason why I still was tempted to give it three stars instead of four were my issues with the language sometimes. Now, N. R. Walker generally knows how to write a good story - the language is not literary and it's not in itself artful, but it's easy, casual and appropriate - what more could you need? Having said that, there were quite a few mistakes I found in this book and also quite a few repetitions - like the same substantive used in three sentences in a row. That might sound pedantic, but things like that actually do diminish the joy I find in reading a book and that's why I have no qualms detracting rating points for it.

The last 40 or so pages I enjoyed a LOT, though. (view spoiler). And I just had to up the rating to 3.75 after that (By the way, when did I start not only wanting to give half points, but quarter points? Next I'll be arguing over the sixteenth part of a star, just watch :-D).

I am not sure I've ever been in such a dilemma - I liked everything about this book except for Isaac... To be honest, I had not really enjoyed 'Blind Faith' because of Isaac's selfish, uncompromising and often emotionally manipulative attitude. But I had hopes for the sequel and wanted to give it a try. Until the climax, things were going moderately well in the sense that Isaac was his usual self - difficult with a dash of hurtful - yet his behaviour remained somewhat acceptable to me.

But I had hopes for the sequel and wanted to give it a try. Until the climax, things were going moderately well in the sense that Isaac was his usual self - difficult with a dash of hurtful - yet his behaviour remained somewhat acceptable to me. Then he said those incredibly hurtful words to Carter, which truly made me despise him.

Why am I so harsh in my choice of words? Well, we are just told as readers how Isaac is so vulnerable, indirectly suggesting that allowances should be made because of his lack of sight/difficult experiences. Except for a couple of occasions in this story, I have hardly glimpsed at his vulnerability or love for Carter at least. If Isaac wants so much to be independent, be treated like a 'normal' person, then lack of sight does not excuse his appalling words and conduct. What I saw was a man who knows very well how to deliberately and deeply hurt those who care about him. Even more cruelly, he shows no hesitation and little remorse in hurting them as deeply as possible. My heart went out for Carter's pain, who had only tried to protect Isaac and was dealt such devastating blows.

After that episode and Isaac's continued silence (combined with some more hurtful jabs conveyed via Hannah), I thought it was time for Carter to move on and find someone who could treat him better. I do not believe Isaac is in love with him, or at least not nearly as much as he loves himself and his self-preservation. That is why the quick resolution and happy ending felt hollow to me, although the individual and couple therapy gave a realistic touch. I cannot help but wonder how long the happiness will last, how long until Isaac yet again lashes out and hurts those close to him just because he feels the need to do so.

However, I do not regret reading this book mostly due to Carter, the lovely Brannigan-Peroni family and the cute pets. ...more

I needed to take some time to organize my thoughts about this book or it would have all came out sounding like complete nonsense because NR Walker scrambles my brain when she writes; it's that good.

This book broke my freaking heart! Like tore it out and left it lying on the floor beating until I thought I couldn't take it anymore! And she says she doesn't do angst... LIAR :)

Isaac and Carter have been together for about a year now and their relationship is progressing nicely! Isaac gets attacked and robbed and it really shakes him up which in turn gets the ball rolling for him to agree to let Carter live with him. That part of the book was nice and heartwarming. I love when these two boys are happy and in love and all rainbow and puppies but then Joshua enters the picture... dun dun dun!

He's Isaac's new friend at work and he brings the drama in spades! I hate him and I want to stab him in the face with multiple sharp objects! There are a lot of things happening at once to make Isaac feel badly about being blind and Joshua gives him some hope about a break-through surgery in Argentina that's been helping people like Isaac see again which gives him hope.

There's so much going on and the heartbreak just kills me. Isaac can be such a dickhead and rightly so in some case but the defense mechanism that he uses to protect himself when he's hurting is to verbally lash out at whoever is closest to him which is usually Carter. When they fight it feels like the world is ending. I hate it, they are supposed to be happy but of course NR Walker is brilliant in her ability to make you feel what the characters are feeling.

Carter takes everything as well as he can for the things that were said and done to him but his devastation about broke me.

Also, can I say... I adore Hannah, like absolutely love her. She's one of the best supporting characters I've ever read about and I love how she doesn't take Isaac's shit at all! She tells him how it is, tells him he's making the biggest mistake of his life, tells him how insufferable he is and yet, still manages to be there for him to support him in his time of need at the exact same time. She is amazing!

Mark is hilarious as always, he's fiercely loyal to Carter and I love the comic relief he brings to the book. I can't wait for his story!

I'm not getting too much into the plot except to say that this book is better than the first one(which is saying something because that book was incredible) just like every new release that Ms. Walker has. As she evolves as an author, she just gets more brilliant. It's no secret that she is one of my all-time favorite authors but her work speaks for itself. It's in the way her characters interact with each other, the world she creates for each couple that leaves you wishing you could have more even as you finish the last page and just stare into the blank space hoping for more words to appear, and most importantly, in the emotions she evokes from her readers. When you finish a book feeling raw and exposed and just incredibly moved, you know it was golden.

The book gets more than 5 stars from me... I absolutely loved it. ...more

The road to true love is never smooth and if one of the parties is Isaac, this is guaranteed! Although he and Carter have been together over a year, he is still insecure and manages to push Carter away and give him the silent treatment. Communication doesn't seem to be his strong point when emotions are involved!

In this story, a number of things happen which throw Isaac off-kilter. He is preyed upon for his blindness and insecurities start to appear. Although Carter loves him exactly how he is, ...more

4.5 stars

Isaac can be the biggest num-nut on the planet, but you can't fail to see that his fear and insecurities are the cause. He does everything passionately, and that includes loving Carter, and pissing Carter off, and sadly, hurting Carter, too. Carter is about as close to a loving saint that anyone could ever hope for in a partner. He drowns you in his love and lives to make Isaac happy. Too bad Isaac has to learn the hard way to allow Carter to see the real him, to accept that he is alrea ...more

NR Walker does it again. I quite enjoyed this follow up to Blind Faith. I know this might be boring to others, but at times, I don't mind reading about established couples. Sure there's the allure of experiencing the buildup of 2 people getting together; there's also the comfort of seeing those 2 people who love each other struggle with some roadblocks. Carter and Isaac are going strong and said roadblocks do come into play - several of them in fact. Of course by the end they're better off becau ...more

“I'll never be able to see you."

"Not through these eyes."
"No," I agreed quietly. "You see me with your heart.” — 20 likes
