Caius is a normal red blooded male, with superstar traits. His movies are a smash hit, his body is toned and insatiable, and his smile is enough to send any woman over the edge. But like everyone, he has a secret Caius is blind, and only a handful of persons are aware of his disability.
When he gets nominated for an Oscar, he must figure out how to accept the award without knowing the theatre layout, nor his seating arrangement.

As a Hollywood superstar, he can have any woman in the world… except, it seems, for the one he wants!

I both bought and read "Blind Love" in its entirety. I knew even before I started that it would be totally unrealistic in terms of its portrayal of blindness, especially in the context of being a popular leading man movie star, but I was bored and it popped up in my recommendations on my phone's kindle app, and I went with it, not realizing how short the story was. This is a very short story for the price I paid. I don't feel that the quality or length of the story is worth the price.I think the story's shortfalls can best be explained by the following quote: "Caius was filming when they snuck onto set, locked in a scene full of rage and emotion. Still, the second the director yelled cut, he turned his head in her direction, a grin on his face. To the blind, every other senses (sic) are heightened, and he heard her coming even when she was tiptoeing.".
First off, if he was filming a scene full of rage and emotion, how then did he not only hear tiptoeing but also was able to tell exactly who was doing the tiptoeing? Second is the cliche of his blindness heightening his other senses, described in a sweeping generalization that could also have done with some proofreading. And that's just this one paragraph.
There are other issues, as well. For example, (spoiler alert)

he managed to be best friends with the female lead character since childhood but be totally unaware that she had been keeping a secret from him that most people would know about someone they've been friends with for nearly two decades.
And no matter how much practicing one does with movements beforehand, there are things about congenitally blind people that aren't generally masked by simply wearing blue contact lenses and his trademark dark sunglasses to mask the cloudy appearance of his eyes and learning the layout of a set the day before shooting, like getting facial expressions, body language, and emotional reactions right, and faking eye contact.
The author did try to explain the things Caius does to learn his way around a set beforehand, and how he gets confidentiality agreements signed by everyone who has worked with him saying that they will keep his secret, so it's not as outrageously improbable as it could be, but neither is it realistic. And the least believable thing of all is the idea that not one single person had yet tried to out Caius as blind to the tabloids for a few extra bucks.
Also, there isn't much in the way of romantic development, and what we do see is primarily from Caius' point of view, with Emmy's scenes focusing on their friendship with no real hint that she shares his romantic feelings until late in the story, despite the fact that he's a handsome movie star who adores her. It didn't suck, not really, but it wasn't great either. I wouldn't recommend spending nearly $3 on it, but it's definitely better than some stories I've read. I'd give it maybe 2 stars out of 5.

Blind Love edition by Jasmine Bowen Yvan Goudard Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Not worth the paper it was written on. It was a SHORT story you would put in a magazine and it my opinion should NOT be classed as a BOOK. Total waste of money
This is humorous and adorable romance about a blind actor who had kept his blindness hidden throughout his career, and a woman Emily, who the actor, Caius, has known most his life. Caius has looks and fame, but will he be able to get Emily, the woman he loves, who because she feels the world of Hollywood is silly, and that she's know Caius since they were kids (warts and all) keeps her affections at a careful distance. In the end, some of his secrets are revealed, and I'm saying if he gets the girl.
This book was a complete waste of my reading time.
Firstly, it's ridiculously short. 60 pages that don't include any character development. I didn't care a bit about any of the characters by the time I was done. Don't get me wrong - I can enjoy a short story, but I have to be able to genuinely care about the characters. Whole lot of "nope" with this one.
Secondly, the author's dialogue writing annoyed me. It didn't flow. Instead, I found it awkward and clunky. I would have liked to see some better editing.
Third, this story isn't realistic in this timeframe. I could get behind it if it were longer, if the romance were drawn out, and I had genuinely grown to like the characters. But no. This was not the case.
I did not enjoy this story in the least. I will not be reading this author again.
For a short story I really enjoyed this book. Avoid and Emily's story was touching. Even being a short story it felt somewhat complete.
Loved this book! The concept that you could fall in love with someone without actually seeing them is fantastic especially when the two people are complete opposites of what each is looking for.
This short story is wonderfully written. The author gives the reader a kind reality check that the world isn't perfect, but with hard work, anything can happen. This includes love.
