This is one of those stories that bring a smile and a sigh at the ending .....

Taming Jason by Lucy Gordon Harlequin Romance Subscription # 459 - January 2000 Having been trapped under a fallen beam, while saving his beloved horses from a stable fire, Jason Tenby struggles with the reality that he may never walk or see again. Injuries to his spine and to his optic nerves are slow healing, and he's a bear of a patient scaring away the nurses the temp service had sent. Nurse Elinor Smith had refused the job, but the service had run out of nurses to send and it was up to her. Six years before, Elinor had been in love with Jason's brother Simon, and Jason had opposed the relationship and he had made sure that Simon would never marry her. Elinor (then known as Cindy) had been sent away with a heart so broken that something had died inside. Jason is just a patient to her, and she recognized that revealing who she was would only add more stress to his recovery. Jason finds himself responding to her take charge and I'll take no guff attitude, and Elinor finds her heart beginning to feel again. But what will happen when his eyes have healed and he sees again the face of the woman he had despised all those years before? Ms. Gordon has a remarkable ability of creating characters that come to life. Though we rarely see inside Jason's head, we get a very good sense of him through the dialogue and the actions and observations of others. Elinor is emotionally scarred and copes in the only way she knows, as cold and aloof. Jason, though still the hardheaded tyrant from years before, has learnt to take note of the feelings of others. Once again there's a brilliant confrontational scene where Elinor gives Jason a verbal beating. I love it when the heroine stands up for herself! This is one of those stories that bring a smile and a sigh at the ending :D
