About this ebook

Love looks with the mind, but not with the eye... which explains Cupid’s success 

When Baron Jasper Henley is caught kissing a marquess’ niece in the gardens during a ball, he agrees to marry the girl. It’s not the first time he’s been forced to marry—he and his late wife had been caught kissing in front of the same fountain prior to his marriage proposal—but he had always intended to marry Sophie.

While on a visit to London to visit her uncle and his new wife, Marianne Slater is happy to attend the Season’s entertainments—even if she can’t see very well. The world is a blur unless it’s close-up. Usually a wallflower at balls, Marianne is stunned when a gentleman approaches and offers to escort her in the gardens. A clear-eyed innocent kiss suddenly results in the blurry whirlwind of a quick wedding and its subsequent aftermath.

Determined to show his new bride the wonders of the ancient world as part of his next archaeological expedition—their wedding trip—Jasper will do whatever it takes to see to it Marianne can see more clearly. But as things come into focus for her, Jasper may find his own vision clouded by an unexpected revelation. Can the insights he discovers from bits of history open his eyes to future possibilities? He may prefer blindness in The Vision of a Viscountess.

Ratings and reviews

**** SPOILER ALERT **** Sande delivers a fine story in "The Vision Of A Viscountess". As usual the author does a superb job of world building and character development. Particularly in developing the character of the titular Viscountess. Showing fairly realistically how a very near sighted person got along during the time period as well as the prejudices that continue to today's time about wearing eyeglasses. I'm not sure how Sande did it, but she gave the readers three live stories in just one book. While I listened to this book as an audiobook, I would reccomend it to my fellow readers in whatever format you prefer. More on the audio part of the audiobook. The book was excellently narrated by Michael Troughton. Yes, Patrick Troughton's son. In the interest of transparency: I was given a free review copy of this book and I am voluntarily sharing this review. It is my own honest opinion.
