sassysono 's review for:
Blindsided
by Amy Daws
Set in London, best friends English Premier League player Mac and seamstress Freya hang out all the time. Mac is tall, tattooed and 'fit' while Freya is short and curvy (she calls herself chubby and makes a lot of self-deprecating body comments). Freya wants a date for their friend's wedding but gets completely tongue-tied around men she wants to date. She has no issues with Mac, because subconsciously she feels she has absolutely no chance with him.
Mac thinks his best friend is hilarious and great, she just needs some confidence, so he offers to be her "love coach" to help her land the local barista she likes. When things don't work out with her date Mac discovers just how completely inexperienced and naive Freya is (she must have been living under a rock for 29 years) and they embark on a temporary friends-with-benefits arrangement. This results in the usual eye-opening revelations expected from the trope.
I thought this one started out as a pretty standard and silly friends to lovers / virginity deal romance, but somewhere in there the MC's Mac and Freya started to develop some real emotional depth and the story took some angsty twists and turns that had me cheering for the HEA.
This book would be fantastic in audio with a talented narrator. Mac is a Scotsman, Freya is Cornish and their friends are South African, American and English. I was imagining all their accents as I was reading.
This book contains descriptive love scenes.
