"BLIND FORTUNE is a wonderful historical romance...In one word, exciting. Ms. Waugh has a winner on her hands. "



an "excellent" read


"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."


"A+, an outstanding read"


"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..."


"a recommended read"


"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."


"a page turner"


"...some 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."
