Meet the Author

There isn’t enough fiction out there with characters who have disabilities. Ruth Madison aims to fix that.

After years of combing through the dusty back shelves of libraries looking for her elusive, imperfect hero, she started writing her own.

Ruth’s romantic tales are full of wounded heroes: men physically challenged by life, but not defeated. These men overcome the difficulties of amputation, paralysis, or cerebral palsy to find acceptance, happiness, and heroines who love them exactly as they are.

    This is an interesting collection of romantic short stories and

    This is an interesting collection of romantic short stories and novellas, centered around the theme of a woman (or girl) in love with a disabled man.

    In some stories, the woman learns to love the man, and his disability is simply part of who he is. In others, the woman is a devotee, a person who is sexually attracted to someone who with a disability. In one story, the teenage girl is part of a group of friends, somewhat geeky, and draws closer to the twin of one of her friends, after he is diagnosed with MS.

    In another story, one of my favorites, Marianne is a professional dancer, and in the end her wheelchair-bound husband partners her in a sensuous dance no one else could match.

    The heat level ranges from sweet to extremely steamy. There are some formatting issues which distract somewhat, but all in all, it’s a very enjoyable collection.
