Story
As if things aren’t already tough enough as the only girl on a college football team, Coach had to go and assign Zeke Collins as my roommate. A cocky kick returner and my brother’s best friend who should have been ripped of that title years ago, he’s as infuriating as he is undeniably sexy. I hate him, and for good reason—reason I won’t ever let him forget. He thinks because we grew up together that it’s his role to protect me, but all he does is get in my way, make me look weak, and piss me off more.

Story
The first time I met Merrick Crawford was during my job interview. Well, technically, I’d met him 20 minutes earlier when he’d barged into a fitting room a few doors down from my appointment. I yelled. He yelled. After an argument while standing in my bra, I proceeded to smash the door into the gorgeous jerk, trying to yank it shut. As you might imagine, I was freaked out when I discovered that the rude guy was my potential new boss. Yet he didn’t seem to recognize me. Or so I thought.... Until we wound up bickering again during my interview and he told me to go sniff my armpit.

Story
For years, I've dreamt of what college life could bring, and while some things changed, there was always one constant. It didn't matter how wild I allowed my imagination to run, it always led me to the same place in the end. It led me to him. My future was clear, and he was it. Until suddenly, he wasn't. Now there's a new man in my life, one who isn't afraid to go after what he wants, and what he wants...is me.

Story
If this arrogant Irish mobster my brother sold my niece to thinks I’m going to play nice over this arranged-marriage BS, he should think again. I don’t care if this match with the Mob will make my brother capo of the Five Families. I don’t care how much money, territory, or power it will gain us. I especially don’t care that the Irishman is the sexiest man I’ve ever seen. I won’t allow my innocent niece to suffer the same way I did. Even if I have to kill him.

I caught the attention of a monster. I didn’t ask for it. Didn’t even see it coming. But the moment I do, it’s too late. Killian Carson is a predator wrapped in sophisticated charm. He’s cold-blooded, manipulative, and savage. The worst part is that no one sees his devil side. I do. And that will cost me everything. I run, but the thing about monsters? They always chase.

He was the talented bad boy everyone wanted. I was the irrelevant geek everyone hated. He was the sun...drawing all of us in. I was a black hole...taking up space. He was destined to be a star. I was destined to remain an insignificant no one. Until he made me believe I was special...and then he destroyed me. I never thought I'd see Phoenix Walker again after he broke my heart, but fate had other plans. One tour. Eight weeks. Forty shows. Countless opportunities to make him pay. The world thought he was a god...but I know the truth.

Am I friends with JP Cane? Ha! That's laughable. Besides the fact that he’s adopted some far-fetched notion from the movie When Harry Met Sally that says men and women can't be friends and work together, it’s safe to say we're not friends. He's annoyingly loud, obnoxiously handsome, and has made an art out of poking all my hot buttons...multiple times a day. So you can imagine how disgruntled I am when I not only have to fly to San Francisco with him for work, but stay in the same penthouse. Yup, we're sharing the same air, 24-7. We're talking full-fledged working roommates.

But for RJ Shaw, it only gets worse: He’s being sent to Sandover Prep for senior year. If there’s one place a misfit hacker like RJ doesn’t belong, it’s an ivy-covered all-boys boarding school for rich delinquents. RJ knows his stay at Sandover will be temporary. Which means there’s no point making friends or trying to fit in. But the plan to remain antisocial goes awry when he meets a gorgeous girl in the woods on campus.

He’s given me more last-minute and weekend requests than anyone else, ruining any plans I make. I should quit. And I will. Just as soon as I hit my two-year anniversary and earn out my signing bonus. But after a particularly awful day at work, a breakup (via text!), and my computer crashing, I’ve had enough! So at 11:59 Friday night, I barge into Emmett’s office to tell him what I really think of him. Only, that’s not what happens. AT ALL.

Notorious heartbreaker and handsome-as-sin hockey captain, Wolfe Judd is the golden boy on campus. He could have any girl he wants...and he wants me. He sees beyond my surface. The way his stormy blue eyes watch me...I feel beautiful for the first time since my accident. Little by little, he tears down my walls, exposing a passion that leaves me breathless and a vulnerability that could leave me shattered.

Publisher's Summary
The hottest college football safety in the nation just asked me to be his fake girlfriend.
And I just asked him to take my virginity.
Clay Johnson has the abs of Adonis and the deadly smirk of the devil, himself. There’s hardly a day he’s not headline material during football season, and never a day he isn’t a bullseye target for every girl on campus.
He used to be the easiest of all the players for me to wrangle as the public relations coordinator, but after a nasty breakup with his high school sweetheart, he’s a mess.
And a complete pain in my ass.
We meet to discuss his behavior and review media relations standards. But when he witnesses how I fall to pieces in front of my guitar-toting crush, his wheels start turning. And he cooks up this absurd plan.
He helps me get noticed.
I help him make his ex jealous.
All by pretending to be in a relationship.
What he doesn’t realize is that this bookworm is a virgin, and far from versed in seducing a musician. So, to sweeten the deal, I convince him to help me—not just to get my crush’s attention, but to knock his socks off once I have it.
But the more I come unraveled at the hands of Clay Johnson, the more trouble I have discerning what’s fake and what’s undoubtedly real—particularly, the way my heart flutters every time that breathtaking man touches me.
We set the rules. We put the safeguards in place.
But they say rules are meant to be broken.
They probably should have added that hearts are, too.
Blind Side is a spicy fake-dating college sports romance with "lessons" and opposites attract. It is a complete stand-alone.

Audio issues
The story is so good! But the female narration sounded unedited. Pitches where off and in moments I heard a click where the audio was stopped along with a echo on her parts I found it distracting. So I just ended up reading her parts in the book and then listening to the male narration. But the story was great 10-10 can’t wait till the next book!

Great story narration had a lot of issues
As usual, Kandi has put out a great story, but I felt the narration made it almost impassable to listen to. I found a couple of times I had to rewind to see if I’d missed something, a lot of dead air between chapters; when the female narrator spoke, you could hear her either turning pages or bumping things. Sometimes you could even hear birds chirping, and the voice got louder and quieter as if they kept moving the mic.

Audio is awful
The performers are fine but the female audio quality is atrocious. You can hear birds and background noise throughout her chapters. I’m pretty sure I heard a dog barking at one point. It sounds like it was recorded in her home. There are also some spots where the audio just cuts out and picks back up on a different sentence. It drove me crazy!
The story is good but not worth the audio troubles. The author should really consider having it recorded again to do justice to her hard work

The Story is great, but audio was blah
I wanted to listen to this story as is was a book rec and it sounded great, but I did also read the reviews and was like hopefully it's not that bad, the audio is bad. the story was great and if I actually had the time to sit down and read it I would have preferred it but I barely have the time for my self which is why I love audiobooks. both the Female and Male voice were just not professional, you can hear all the background noise and you can tell this was not in a sound proof room. in one of the 'spicy' scenes you can actually hear birds chirping in the background. The books if pretty good. I hope the writer has it re-recorded at some point.

Fake Dating - Real Feelings
I so love a good fake-dating storyline and this one definitely meets the standards. Clay and Giana both have people they would like to capture the attention of and somehow find their way to helping each other get what they want. Of course what they want may change. When does fake dating turn into real feelings?
I loved all the cute and quirky that is Giana. The way that Clay really embraces her for who she is and joined her at the level that made them both their best.
The narrators Edward Black and Miranda Dyer did a fantastic job bringing this story to life. I loved how Miranda really drove the dull tones of Charlotte (Giana's boss) and how there was clear and distinct voices for the side characters that differentiated from the main characters.

Great story... But skip this audio version
This story is fairly fresh, considering how many fake boyfriend stories are out there. This is definitely one of the better ones. The male (Edward Black) & female (Miranda Dyer) narrators performances were well done, with regard to inflection, tone, etc. BUT... (& it's a pretty big but) the audio quality of Miranda Dyers' portion is terrible. Having books narrated is expensive. So I don't understand how this made it past quality control. There were very often birds chirping away in the background. Odd pauses, & sounds as if the narrator turned away from the microphone. This was just very unprofessional. I would have required that portion of the narration be re-recorded. Someone dropped the ball here. I hate that, because it was all very good, if you aren't bothered by the audio quality. I do recommend this book, but I would skip the audio. Or listen to the male POV chapters & read the female POV chapters.

Terrific Story & Listen🎧 Engaging & Entertaining!
Kandi Steiner pens another fantastic sports romance novel, and she puts her own unique take on the “fake relationship” and “opposites attract” trope. The story drew me in right from the start, not only grabbing and then captivating my attention but it tugged on my heartstrings throughout the entire book as well. I adored the two lead characters, Clay Johnson and Giana Jones, both are college students, he is the star football player with dreams of going pro one day and she is an assistant public relations coordinator for the team. He was one of the easier going players on the team, but he wound up giving her attitude and was rude to the reporters. She finds out the reason for his mood, his childhood girlfriend, Maliyah Vail, broke up with him and this was after she followed him to North Boston University. Giana is crushing on Shawn Stetson, a musician, and Clay picks up on this during a meeting with her and Shawn is performing on stage. So he has a proposition for her, that she date him, to make his ex jealous and then want him back, and he would help her get Shawn. She agreed with this plan and everything goes well. The two put a show on for everyone to see that they are romantically involved. A friendship grows between them and when she confesses her lack of experience with boyfriends, he volunteers to help her with that too and their plan works very well for them until it doesn’t. I loved the layers to the story and the complexity of the characters, also loved how it all played out for them. This wonderfully plotted story has plenty of drama, heartfelt emotions, a touch of angst and some steamy romance. Kandi Steiner, thank you for another great story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 I listened to the audiobook edition, and this is my first time listening to these two narrators, Edward Black and Miranda Dyer. I thought they did a great job bringing the characters and their story to life. They had a complete understanding of the characters they were portraying, gave each a voice that suited that character’s persona and was believable in every role they played. There were some minor sound quality issues on Miranda Dyer’s end, but I am sure she will improve with more experience or get software to help clean up the background noise. Edward Black’s recording was perfectly fine, and he nailed it as Clay Johnson, as was Dyer’s Giana Jones. Both were great covering the roles of the secondary characters as well. They set the perfect tone for the story and captured all the character’s emotions and projected them into their performance. Thank you for the great listen.

Good story. Audio meh
I am a sucker for sports romance so naturally, I was drawn to this one. The story is good for the most part and I liked the matchup of the two characters. However, the audio seemed low quality at times with background noise that was annoying. The story was read well by the narrators but the low quality really got me.

I enjoyed the book, didn’t enjoy the FMC narration. While I appreciated that she sounded near the age of the actual character which is hard to come by, the reading didn’t seem to fit the story. It sounded off to me personally. The rise and falls in tone didn’t flow with the story. Also there where some errors not corrected in editing and a few clips cut too short. Kandi is a great writer and the story was you sweet and a little spicy college romance. I would suggest picking up the physical copy and reading for yourself.

The story is ok, the audio is not.
Story: 2.5⭐️
Steam: 4 🔥
Audio: 2 🎧
On paper this book is perfect. College sports romance, fake dating, teach me to f**k, sweet hero and quirky heroine. It hits all the tropes. But unfortunately this story was just flat to me. It all felt very surface level and the relationship felt a lot like telling rather than showing. I just didn’t find myself interesting in anything during this story. Also the word “sniff” is used 20 times in this book and that feels excessive.
Audiobook Performance: honestly yikes. The male narrator is good which is the only reason I didn’t give it 1 🎧. The main issue was the female narrator. The audio quality was honestly trash. Throughout the entire book you can hear papers rustling, the microphone being grazed, LITERAL BIRDS CHIRPING, and the narrator kept moving close to then away from the mic making it hard to hear her. Overall it felt like a very poorly made audio which is incredibly disappointing.

Terrific Story & Listen🎧 Engaging & Entertaining!
Kandi Steiner pens another fantastic sports romance novel, and she puts her own unique take on the “fake relationship” and “opposites attract” trope. The story drew me in right from the start, not only grabbing and then captivating my attention but it tugged on my heartstrings throughout the entire book as well. I adored the two lead characters, Clay Johnson and Giana Jones, both are college students, he is the star football player with dreams of going pro one day and she is an assistant public relations coordinator for the team. He was one of the easier going players on the team, but he wound up giving her attitude and was rude to the reporters. She finds out the reason for his mood, his childhood girlfriend, Maliyah Vail, broke up with him and this was after she followed him to North Boston University. Giana is crushing on Shawn Stetson, a musician, and Clay picks up on this during a meeting with her and Shawn is performing on stage. So he has a proposition for her, that she date him, to make his ex jealous and then want him back, and he would help her get Shawn. She agreed with this plan and everything goes well. The two put a show on for everyone to see that they are romantically involved. A friendship grows between them and when she confesses her lack of experience with boyfriends, he volunteers to help her with that too and their plan works very well for them until it doesn’t. I loved the layers to the story and the complexity of the characters, also loved how it all played out for them. This wonderfully plotted story has plenty of drama, heartfelt emotions, a touch of angst and some steamy romance. Kandi Steiner, thank you for another great story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 I listened to the audiobook edition, and this is my first time listening to these two narrators, Edward Black and Miranda Dyer. I thought they did a great job bringing the characters and their story to life. They had a complete understanding of the characters they were portraying, gave each a voice that suited that character’s persona and was believable in every role they played. There were some minor sound quality issues on Miranda Dyer’s end, but I am sure she will improve with more experience or get software to help clean up the background noise. Edward Black’s recording was perfectly fine, and he nailed it as Clay Johnson, as was Dyer’s Giana Jones. Both were great covering the roles of the secondary characters as well. They set the perfect tone for the story and captured all the character’s emotions and projected them into their performance. Thank you for the great listen.

Fantastic story
Steamy new adult sports romance that features some great characters. I loved Giana, who was shy and cute, inexperienced and naive but relatable too. She reminded me of myself during my college years so I loved that but if a reminder of life when young. Clay started as someone who lost the love of his (young) life and recruited Giana to be his fake girlfriend so that she could get her secret crush to like her too. I liked the premise (although, all these games!) but I did feel like Clay didn’t grow much in terms of maturity through the book. However, he was a sweetheart from the beginning so I have to say that while I wish his character demonstrated a bit of growth, when you start off with such a likable character, it is ok.
The steam! (Fanning myself) and the humor went through the story. And I adored revisiting some of the characters from books of past and hopefully future!
For my second read, I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Edward Black and Miranda Dyer. They did a great job. Admittedly, I thought Edward Black's voice was a little older than I expected for the setting but overall, their pacing, ability to play multiple characters was well done.

Loved the story
Ok so I loved the story but the audio of the female omg! Did someone not edit this properly?! People are paying for this book and there are sections where the audio just cuts out!
