Blindsided: A Best Friends to Lovers Standalone

Amy Daws — 2019

What happens when an almost thirty-year-old virgin agrees to let her Scottish footballer best friend give her some lessons in seduction? Lots of banter, awkwardness, jealousy, and heat. Midfielder Maclay "Mac" Logan is a loud-mouthed, tattooed ginger content with focusing on football. But when an adorable, freckled seamstress comes barreling into his life, he finds Netflix-And-Bickering with her to be his new favorite pastime. Freya Cook is used to being the invisible woman with a needle and thread, offering cheeky punchlines as she helps dress London's finest. She's plus-sized in body and spirit, and other than her friendship with Mac, talking to the opposite sex is one skill she never mastered. However, after one innocent game of Never Have I Ever, Mac offers to play Love Coach for Freya. What neither of them see coming are the feelings that develop when the clothes come off. Now they're both about to learn the biggest lesson of all: Don't fall in love with your best friend.Blindsided is a full length (97,000 words) contemporary rom-com standalone with a sports theme.

Cute romance! Loved the progression of the relationship and all its flaws in between. The smut was good and didn’t overpower anything. Can be read as a standalone but definitely makes you want to read the others.

This had some cute moments, but I couldn’t help but cringe over how naive Freya was.

This was cute and spicy with a decent back story. A great happily ending sports romance nothing earth-shattering. I didn't love the self-deprecating talk of the main character it was fairly cheesy, especially when the little outline of her on the chapter titles wasn't very curvy.

This book was fun! I loved these characters and were cheering them on the whole time. I read this book in 2 sittings and enjoyed every moment. I look forward to diving into the rest of the series.

One of the better plus size romances that I have read. Bestfriends to Lovers. Smutty with bits of angst.

"I'm not like other girls" is super strong with this one

Why do authors who want to write contemporary stories with "older" virgin heroines insist on making them 100% ignorant about everything having to do with sex. Freya is 30 years old and is so ignorant about things that it's painful.
