I loved the first one in the series, so I don't know why I haven't read anything else of hers. I'll have to move her up in my ever expanding reading list!!
I enjoyed the other books in the series, but the first is definitely my favorite. I'll be interested in hearing your thoughts if you read more. (I am well acquainted with that ever expanding reading list!)

Shoulda Been a Cowboy - erotic, contemporary, western by Lorelei James. The H lost a leg while serving in Afghanistan. He is back home in Wyoming and working as the Sheriff.
The MacGregor's Lady - HR, victorian era, - by Grace Burrowes. The h has a limp and suffers from a lot of pain. She cannot walk far and never dances. The H is a physician and figures out how to make it better for her.
The Kiss - HR (era uncertain, probably regency'ish) - by Sophia Nash. The h's legs are disfigured due to a childhood accident. Doesn't seem to affect function too much, mostly appearance and gait.
A Conard County Homecoming by Rachel Lee. The H was SEAL who was paralyzed and is in a wheelchair and has PTSD. He has a service dog named Nell who is cute in the story.
Super surprised this isnt on here but His One and Only by Theodora Taylor is awesome. H is blind from a football accident. It's part of a much bigger series that I kind of hope you all get sucked into like I did >_> Worth it.
