Romance Historical
They say love is blind, but Lady Fortuna Morley doesn’t
believe it. Sightless since birth, she can think of only one
reason a gentleman would wed her—for the dowry and three
thousand a year her father will provide. She’s in London the
spring of 1814 to help launch her younger cousin into
society, but prefers living quietly in country with her
music. The last thing Fortuna wishes is to cross swords with
the arrogant Marquess of Granville. Charles Lowden, Lord Granville, has decided to take a wife.
The bride he’s chosen is thirteen years his junior, but
meets all criteria. What he won’t abide is interference from
the girl’s impertinent cousin, the outspoken and opinionated
Lady Fortuna Morley. The woman is determined to thwart the
match. Charles is just as determined to charm Fortuna out
of her disdain for him.
What neither expects in the ensuing battle of wills is to
fall in love.

REVIEWS
"Joanna Waugh has done a wonderful job of writing about true love...overcoming all adversities..."
Literary Nymphs Reviews Only
"From the first sentence...I was tugged into this dazzlingly real look into the life of Regency folks. I haven't read a book with such in-depth emotional, heart-wrenching and utterly sensual scenes, in a long time. "
Dark Divas Review
"BLIND FORTUNE is a wonderful historical romance...In one word, exciting. Ms. Waugh has a winner on her hands. "
The Romance Readers Connection
"It's obvious from the beginning...that Charles and Fortuna will end up together but the road to it is masterfully written. The dance around one another...is intricate...their verbal sparring a great amusement...I thoroughly enjoyed this book, its characters and Ms. Waugh's writing."
Simply Romance Reviews
"With skillful scripting, Joanna Waugh exposes the depth and personality of each of her characters...This is definitely a wonderfully detailed Regency romance that will woo historical enthusiasts..."
Blue Ribbon Reviews
"Fortuna's story is told with surprising grace -- her blindness is neither romanticized now downplayed, and Joanna Waugh does not attempt to save her from herself -- rendering the story both realistic and moving."
Night Owl Romance
"...[S]ome of the best dialogue between hero and heroine that I have ever read. Dialogue bursting with intelligence and witticism with an aim beyond simply being that one last riposte."
All About Romance
"Fans of love/hate relationships, flawed characters, and historical novels will be sure to enjoy Blind Fortune..."

What a wonderful review! Thank you so much, Dot. Blind Fortune is based on my experiences with my late husband who lost his sight to Diabetes. He often misinterpreted what other people said because he couldn't see their faces or read their body language. This is at the heart of the relationship between Forti and Charles. What Forti hears him say isn't always what he means.
