The Blinding Light by Renae Kaye

3.0

Jake Manning is in a bit of a rough spot. He's up to his eyeballs in debt, which he took on to help his family. He doesn't allow people to take advantage of him, and that's made it difficult for him to hold down a steady job. And he's reached a point of desperation. So when he applies for a housekeeping job for what he learns is one of the most difficult clients his potential employer has ever seen, he agrees to take on the challenge. Despite everything else, he is truly a hard worker. But even Jake wasn't prepared for Patrick Stanford. Patrick is rude, bossy, blind... and perhaps one of the most attractive men Jake has ever seen. Not one to be taken advantage of, however, Jake pushes back just enough that he might be able to nudge Patrick toward some proper manners. And although Patrick is technically Jake's employer, they strike a bit of a friendship that Jake wishes could become something more. But is Patrick even gay? And how can Jake find time for a relationship when his mother and sisters are always waiting in the wings for him to help them out?

I don't know that I have much else to say about this except that it is entertaining. The banter between Jake and Patrick made me grin and chuckle most of the time, especially with some of the notes they would leave for each other. And there are some pleasant surprises along the way in this story that keep it interesting. I feel like a few issues from the past were sort of glossed over quickly when they came up--in ways that felt a bit abrupt. But overall, this is one that I enjoyed.
