GRR Reviews Paradise Found: That Second Chance by Mary Campisi
Paradise Found is a contemporary romance about second chances, about hope, and about trust, between a doctor and a patient.
Matt Brandon had wealth, power, looks, and talent... until a ski accident left him blind, but it seems to be a psychological problem, as they can find nothing physically wrong with his eyes. Matt's brother brought in several doctors, but none of them helped, until Dr. Sara Hamilton, who was so scarred herself she may be detached enough to help Matt. But as Matt and Sara explore the boundaries of trust and hope, they will come to learn that to get what they want, they must lose everything first...
The pace somehow just feels terribly slow as most of the journey is "cerebral" in nature. There was a cliche "let's stay apart for a couple months until one of us change our mind" period to resolve the final conflict. If that's supposed to be a grand gesture, it's exasperating. The push-pull, while the two were figuring things out, was good though.
