Fade In by M. Mabie
Synopsis:
Tatum Elliot is a successful writer on a hit television show, lives in an Upper East Side apartment and loves her life. She wouldn’t change a thing. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have a choice. She's losing her sight. Tripping over her tongue and her heels, Tatum all too quickly realizes that the things which appeared so important before are slowly slipping away leaving room for what really matters. With the support of her best friends, family and colleagues, she begins to see that there’s much more to life… and herself. When Ben Harris enters her life as her new personal assistant, she can’t tell if it’s his good looks and charm that are working on her libido, or his kind and helpful nature working on her heart? Whatever it is, neither one of them can resist it. As her vision fades out, a world of love and happiness just might…Fade In. Fade In is a contemporary-romance novel about laughing through your tears and telling life to, quite frankly, “Suck it.” This novel contains sexual situations that the author may or may not have tried at home… for your safety, of course. Research is research.Author Bio:
M. Mabie lives in Illinois, NOT Chicago, with her rock-star husband. (True story.) She loves writing for Fifty5Cents Book Blog, which she owns and operates- at the moment quite poorly. She's a proud member of the Indie Author Romance Author Chicks writing group where she maintains a high standard of professionalism and lady-like maturity- or not. She cares about politics, but won’t discuss them in public. She uses the same fork at every meal, watches Wayne’s World while cleaning, and lets her dog sleep on her head. M. Mabie has never been accused of being tight lipped or shy. She’s THAT girl. (She doesn't usually speak in third-person, but surprisingly does when weirded-out about writing her bio.)

Review:
4.5 stars!
I didn't know what to expect when I first started reading Fade In. At about 8% in the greatest thing happened. I read a scene that had me laughing my ass off and is probably a scene that will stay with me forever. I can't tell you what that scene is because let's be honest, who likes spoilers, right? Just know that it's the BEST BREAK-UP SCENE EVER! Hmmmm...maybe M. Mabie did that to some poor guy?!
This book was just amazing. Tatum is a character you find yourself rooting for from page one. She has a disease and is losing her sight. But yet she refuses to take that sitting down. Her Dr. tries to get her to see a therapist but she refuses, afraid of what that would mean for her.
Now, let's talk about Ben Harris for a minute. That man is absolute perfection. From the first time he is introduced, I just knew that I would love his character.
"Fucking is child's play compared to what I'm going to do your body with mine. You deserve better than that."
SWOON!
if your looking for a fun, panty melting book, this is the one for you, ladies! And then when you reach 8% you can come find me and tell me that shit wasn't fucking perfect!!
Excerpt:
"I hope you saved the receipt for the breakfast and all
that stuff yesterday, too. You don't need to be buying my meals," I say
with a mouth that's half full.
He quickly pulls the Jeep into a parking lot and smoothly
parks in an available space. He turns the engine off and turns to face me.
"Okay. We need to get a few things straight for today,
Tatum." Emerald eyes look at me with utmost determination. "Today,
I'm not working. Neither are you. Today we are Ben and Tatum, out and about,
having a good time. Think of it like a date."
"A date?" Is this a date? Hold up. When did I
agree to a date? Then again, what could it hurt? It's one day-date.
"A date. I'm paying. I'm driving. I'm in control. Do
you agree or disagree to this arrangement?"
"No one has ever asked me to go on a date while I'm already
on the date." I can't help but smile and be a little excited that he wants
to be on a date with me—and he didn't mind telling me so either.
"Will this date interfere with our working
relationship?" That's the responsible question I needed to ask.
He shakes his head no.
"Is this like a friends-buddies kind of date?" My
eyebrows rise and I lean forward, trying to gauge where he's at in this whole
thing.
"Not for me, but I can't answer that for you. You don't
even have to think about that right now. Just relax and let me show you a good
time. Deal?" He says this with such
confidence that I'm speechless.
