GRR Reviews BLINDED (Elkridge Series Book 1) by Lyz Kelley

While the concept of Blind is good, the chemistry between the primary couple is confusing, and the romantic suspense didn't quite work. The big mystery was left up in the air as well, but that's to be expected.

Mara lost her sight and her family in a horrendous crash. She adapted and took over her mom's floral business, but there was little to no margin, even with help. She was not expecting Joey, her first love, back in town. Joey is back in his hometown after 10 years away. Someone gunned down his brother Sam, the sheriff. The local deputies seem incompetent... or clueless. He was needed back in Seattle PD, but something smells wrong in the area. As the two met, and got reacquainted, someone is stalking her... Is it related to his brother's murder? When the town offered the sheriff's position to Joey, will he accept or refuse? What will Mara say about that?

The chemistry between Mara and Joey is confusing, as I said before. Sure, it's reunion, but nothing too special there. There's a story arc about a giant conspiracy that killed Joey's brother Sam, the previous sheriff. And that conspiracy wasn't resolved yet. Mara's "fiancee" was introduced way too late to be a credible threat. All in all, the story just left feeling "meh".
