Blind Commitment

by Virginia Nelson

Figgy Berlin made a name for himself in the art world with his gripping use of color and fearless use of impressionistic style in abstract art. One drunk driver later and he's left blind--he can't see color, he can't see his work, and most of all...he can't see his wife.



Through the terrifying days and nights of not knowing if he'd ever wake again, Mariana stayed by his side. When he fought to reclaim his body, she was there. Now he's back home and recaptured his art, but he's yet to reclaim his bride.



Can this couple find love even though he can't see how much his rejection is hurting her?

About the author

Virginia Nelson believed them when they said, “Write what you know.” Small town girl writing small town romance, her characters are as full of flaws, misunderstandings, and flat out mistakes as Virginia herself. When she’s not writing or plotting to take over the world, she likes to hang out with the greatest kids in history, play in the mud, drive far too fast, and scream at inanimate objects. Virginia likes knights in rusted and dinged up armor, heroes that snarl instead of croon, and heroines who can’t remember to say the right thing even with an author writing their dialogue. Her books are full of snark, sex, and random acts of ineptitude—not always in that order.

Short, sweet, sexy tale of life changes. This story tackles a couple finding their way after a major life change. Figgy Berlin is an artist who was blinded in an accident with a drunk driver. He has found his way back to art but has yet to reconnect with his wife Mariana even though she has been by his side throughout. Mariana wants to reclaim their physical intimacy but Figgy has to be willing. Can they find their way back into each others arms or is Figgy going to use his blindness to push away the woman who loves him.
I adore Mariana. She is sweet and kind but no pushover. Just the kind of woman a man with Figgy’s artistic temperament needs. I hate Figgy’s name and I felt like the story was too short. I would have loved to known how they were together before the blindness. But all in all I really enjoyed this story.

THIS BOOK RIPPED MY HEART OUT! Being severely visually-impaired and losing my sight myself, I really related to this book. I felt everything Figgy was going through and experiencing. I love how vivid the author’s imagination is and the love story between Figgy and Mariana. A true story of love and commitment truly captures my heart. I love anything involving art or music in books. This book is so wonderful, it’s going to be on that I will definitely read again and share with others.
