Silhouette Intimate Moments #674: The Morning Side of Dawn

I have worked with people who have special needs as well as having my own. This book had great insight about to how to deal with prejudice and love. The hero in this book thought he was more limitted than he was and he had his own prejudices to deal with. His experiences with prejudice did much to cause this. The heroine handles the situations with an insight that is wonderful and helpful for anyone dealing with such circumstances. The heroine really loves her man. (She even discovers that there is prejudice towards her because of her modeling job ). This book balances lessons and love well. Enjoy!

If you're one of the few who hasn't read and re-read this story or, horror of all horrors, are allowing it to collect dust on your To Be Read shelf (like I was) I urge you to read it, ASAP. It's about learning to see past the surface and finding the true beauty within a person and getting past assumptions and misconceptions and learning to love. The hero is disabled (and that's all I'm going to give away!) and, after being rejected by the people who meant the most to him, has spent the majority of his adult life avoiding people. The heroine is a super-model, who has millions but is unhappy with her life and finds herself envious of those who've found love because she's been unable to. People just don't care to dig deep enough to see the beauty inside of her. Whaaaa, you say, right? How can I sympathize with a rich super-model? Well, I didn't think I could - until I read the book. She's not a self-centered snot and is a surprisingly sympathetic and likable character with a few insecurities of her own. Her dogged attraction to the reluctant hero and her determination to break down his barriers come across realistically and touched me deeply. The hero is one of the most unforgettable I've ever read about in a romance. He's beautiful and wounded - both inside and out - and oh-so-deserving of love. This is a compassionate love story even my shoddy memory won't soon forget. Read it!

A double amputee is reluctant to accept the love of a beautiful fashion model (also the sister of a good friend). The characters are more well developed than usual for a book this short. I suspect this book is the third in a series about this family/group of friends, but I have not been able to find the other two yet.
