UNTIL I SAW YOU

Review

I love this book. Dianna writes beautiful emotional tales.

Riley and Harper are lovely and I really appreciated their journeys. They’ve both had a lot of turmoil in their life. Riley has lost his sight from a climbing accident, and Harper is recently out of an abusive relationship.

They connect when Harper comes to work for Riley as a carer which thankfully also gives Harper a place to stay and recover from his ex.

Riley finds himself intrigued by Harper. The first person to treat him like a complete person since going blind. While Riley brings Harper out of his shell, teaching him what it’s like to be cared for and respected. It’s a beautiful balance, and they complement each other so spectacularly.

“He’s…touching his lips, the lips that just kissed me, the lips that I just kissed. He’s touching our kiss, and he’s…smiling.”

Hurt/comfort is one of my favourite tropes, and Dianna does a remarkable job with it. Beautifully written and compelling.

Synopsis

Harper Reid has no money and nowhere to go, but he can't spend one more day under the same roof as his abusive boyfriend. Desperate to start fresh, he takes on a special case through the caregiver agency that contracts him. The client has fired everyone else, but this job includes lodging, so Harper will find a way to make it work until he's back on his feet.

High-flying, eccentric Riley Davenport has lost his sight, effectively clipping the vivacious man's wings. Learning to navigate in darkness is difficult enough without being treated like a house plant by his girlfriend, parents, and friends. The last thing he needs is another pushy caregiver, hovering over him, curtailing the last of his freedom. But Harper Reid is different...very different.

Nervous, quiet, reserved. It's almost like Harper has secrets and is the one who needs to be taught how to live again. And why does he smell like sugar cookies? Men aren't supposed to smell delicious.

An MM romance story of survival, healing, and finding the courage to love.
