Dearest Rogue
by Elizabeth Hoyt
Hoyt did a great job of using Phoebe's blindness as a way to remove the obstacles of class between her and James and others.
Amazingly, Phoebe's blindness allows her to see people much better than others of her class. Also, Hoyt did a great job of showing the struggles faced by a blind woman of that time period. Her brother wants to protect her, but limits her life so much, she feels like she is Ina cage.
I truly enjoyed Phoebe's outlook on life--that she has to fall in order to live, but she will be okay. She even laughs when she falls while walking along the moors.
James shows his love for Phoebe by tamping down his own urge to protect her, allowing her to walk on her own, and allowing her to fall.
A great love story.
