Blindsided

Fake Boyfriend Series, Book 4

By: Eden Finley

Narrated by: Alexander Cendese, Iggy Toma

Miller:

When Talon left to play pro ball six years ago, the hole in my chest confused me. I focused my heartache into making my own NFL dreams come true, and by the time I was drafted, the longing I had for my best friend was buried deep. Now, he wants everything to be like it was in college, but we can't have threesomes and be reckless like we once were. The media storm would be enough to break both our careers. That's not my biggest concern, though. The torch I had for him burns brighter after so long apart, and there's nothing I can do about it. Marcus Talon is straight. I need to stay away from him.

Talon:

Years ago, Miller and I made a pact that we'd win a Super Bowl together. When I'm offered a position on his team in Chicago, I don't hesitate. I move across the country to chase a dream that's a decade old. Only, now that I'm here, he's avoiding me every chance he gets. If he was anyone else, I'd cut my losses. But this is Shane Miller - the guy who makes everything better just by existing in my universe. The guy I'd do anything for. The guy who's more to me than a brother, a friend, or even a teammate. I'm not going to let him get away.

Contains mature themes.

Came back to listen to this in preparation for a new book in a series that continues the couple’s story.

One of my favorites.

This is one of my absolute favorite books and the audio made it even better.

Another Great Addition to the Series!

Talon and Miller are fantastic together. I love their friendship, and how they both came to terms with being in love with eachother they’d actually really realized it, or thought a relationship could happen between them. The connection between the characters and their romance was so enjoyable, but I also enjoyed a lot of the backstory though I was a little disappointed the original dream didn’t come into fruition, but it’s open ended enough that it just may happen for these two next year even if us reader won’t get to read it. I personally am thinking of it as headcannon. I have to say Alexander Cendese and Iggy Toma did an excellent job. I think I’ve said in some other reviews but they are definitely one of favorite narration duos, they simply never disappoint and always elevate the story as a whole. Another great story from Eden Finely!

Heartbreaking at times

Really had me in my feelings with how they had to hide. It sucks. I was surprised they didn’t magically win the games like they wanted to lol I just wanted everything to work out.

Great series

This was one of my favourite mm romance series. I love sports stories and this one was amazing. The struggle and longing was so strong in this story. Love it

the story line is solid.

I have enjoyed listening to this series, same people and still intrigued. Definitely looking forward to more.

Best friends to lovers!

Talon and Miller’s story was very enjoyable, best friends to lovers. A bit slower than the rest but I still really liked it.
I love the friend group which mostly feels like a family at this point, I like how supportive everyone is.

Excellent story.

I have never been a sports romance fan and can’t see that really changing, however this series is so much more than just sports or even romance. The complexities of life can take any person in so many directions. I am addicted.

Miller and Talon

I love a good best friends to lovers story and this does not disappoint. Talon is like a big over eager goofy golden retriever. You can't help but love him. Miller and his struggles have you rooting for him the whole time. Such a good read, and per usual Iggy and Alexander do a great job!

A great couple complete with football

This is by far my favorite Eden Finley book. both Shane and Marcus are just to hot and yummy for words. their story is so good that it would make even the most critical person to stop and reconsider their 1st choice of verbal judgement. I highly recommend that you buy this book and enjoy.
