BOOKWORM REVIEW: Blinded by Greta Rose West
RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
SPICE: 🔥🔥🔥.5
And just like that, the Cade brothers and I have to say goodbye to each other, and while it is a bittersweet one, Greta Rose West's series finale is a great read.
Finn Cade is at the end of his wits. His new -- albeit temporary -- housemate is driving him mad. Aislinn Burroughs is spoiled to the bone, and her short temper does not help her either. Finn's at a loss here; normally, his charming smile disarms people but Ace seems to be immune to it. Can they figure out how to share living space without driving each other mad?
I have been waiting for Finn's story from the beginning, and he did not disappoint. I know how you feel, Ace. Try as she might to hate this man, his charisma just absolutely shines. I love his humor and wit. (And don't tell the other brothers: he just might be my favorite.)
I could not relate to Aislinn at first. She was just so angry and self-centered, but as we start to get past the façade, we see someone so relatable and endearing. I love the character arc that Greta Rose West creates for her.
Even when Finn and Ace were adversarial, there was a sizzle beneath their confrontations that will have romance aficionados intrigued. Small details elevate their banter and interactions, and as if their spicy moments were not hot enough, we get a light element of kink that had me fanning myself.
This book can be read as a standalone, but we do get appearances by the other Cade brothers and their loved ones. It was a fantastic farewell to the series.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Finn Cade is everyone’s fantasy, the cowboy who puts all others to shame with his broad shoulders and charming grin. But while he pretends to revel in his panty-melter status, the truth is, he wants a woman who sees him for more than just his looks.
Or maybe someone who can’t see him at all…
Too bad his gorgeous house guest is a stuck-up city girl who wouldn't know fun if you poured it down her throat.
Since the crash that killed her affluent parents and took her sight, Aislinn Burroughs has become even more spoiled and entitled, but when she finds herself at Cade Ranch, estranged from her secret-keeping brother, her safe existence is threatened. She wants to learn to be independent, but the infuriating horse rancher living in the bedroom upstairs is tasked with taking care of her.
Only he doesn’t. Finn has the audacity to let her make her own mistakes. He treats her like… a woman. He touches her like she’s all woman, and even though they can’t stand each other, they can’t seem to stay apart.
When her brother’s lies are finally exposed, Aislinn must use her newfound confidence to take charge of her life and uncover the truth for herself.
And along the way, she finds that the one person she’s been pushing away might just hold the key to her heart.
The fifth and final book in The Cade Ranch Series, BLINDED, is a steamy, slightly kinky, enemies-to-lovers romance about embracing your strength and finding the love and family you never thought you would.
