I just now saw it again while browsing and remembered how incredibly good it was. I laughed, I cried, and I absolutely fell in love with these characters. You *have* to read all three in the series, even if they grab your heart and make it ache sometimes. - Chris - Jun-18-2008    This story is absolutely beautiful. Two lonely people coming together and fulfilling one another. The character development was excellent and very well paced; you could really see each character realistically trying to overcome their fears. If you're in the mood for a sweet story about characters genuinely struggling to overcome their "issues" and allow themselves to be loved, give this one a try. - Word_Mage - Jul-16-2008    I thought I had read almost everyone here.

Original / Uber | Modern | Alternative | Romance (alt) | Novel - 240 pages | Finished | Jun-01 Cast: Erin, Jamie, Danielle Part 2 of the At First Sight Series Series List: At First Sight, Seeing You Again For the First Time, Blindsided
In the sequel to 'At First Sight,' Colleen again gives us a stunningly wonderful continuation of Jamie and Erins' love tale, but introducing a dire turn of events, which takes the reader to desperation and back along with the characters. Intermingled with the magic of Ireland and the wisdom of very wise soul, the embers of hope are stirred for love to make its way back into bonded hearts...and it will be a miracle to rejoice. This one will warm you to the core!
This would have been the first perfect sequel I've ever read but was about 7 chapters too long. I feel bad saying this especially when I absolutely loved "At First Sight" and adore Colleen's work. Sorry. - Anon - May 16th, 2002    this story was in my opinion excellent!!!! - Krysta - Dec 18th, 2003    A true classic, dont miss out. - mjf - Aug-25-2008    One word: EXCELLENT!!! - Dani Lucian - Jun-17-2009    Kept me on the edge of my seat. Read this triology - it's a wonderful treat. Characters are lovely. Great author. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. - x/g fanfic fanatic - Jan-31-2010    Just as good as the first tale . This one has a bit more angst in it but as the author says she saps up the wrap up so alls well that ends well.I highly recommend reading it. - uber goober - Aug-28-2011
