Review: A GOOD FIND!
Rating: 4 out of 5

This book was a good find! Blindsided by Sayer Adams was a steamy romance with a well-developed, intriguing storyline. The character were also well developed and very likeable. I've recently read a few adult novels that were mainly focused on the physical aspect of the characters relationship, but this novel isn't only about sex. Blindsided shows you, step-by-step, how Nate and Chelsea's relationship develops: emotionally and physically. Chelsea and Nate go on dates, talk about themselves, etc.! Their relationship was realistic and believable (compared to other fictitious couples who never have a relationship outside of the bedroom).A few negatives:Maybe I am younger than the intended audience for this book, but I really wish Nate's character could have been younger. (I am NOT saying 40 is old!) I am saying that it was hard for me to picture a sexy, rock and roll god who is 40 years old. Early thirties would have been a lot more believable and easier for me to picture! Not everyone will see this as an "issue", but I did.Let me intro this one....Blindsided is told by a couple characters perspectives, mainly Chelsea and Nate. However, you also occasionally hear from Tony, Chelsea's brother. Here is where my weird personal quirk came in... After almost every intimate seen between Chelsea and Nate, Adams switched to Tony's perspective. Not that he had any clue what was going on with his sister and the rock star at the time, but still this was weird for me. Many people will read this novel and think NOTHING of this, but it was a bit strange for me. Plus, I just didn't really care for Tony's story. I was so wrapped up in Chelsea and Nate that I didn't want to hear anyone else's point of view. I could have done without Tony's perspective all together.Another thing that crossed my mind after reading this novel...where are all the paparazzi and screaming fans? They date around town quite a bit for this to have not been addressed. Just saying!I gave Blindsided by Sayer Adams 4 STARS. I liked it. Blindsided was an exciting, sexy story and I recommend it to older young adults. I am looking forward to reading the next In the Band novel by Sayer Adams about Nate's drummer, Sean.TO READ MORE REVIEWS CHECK OUT MY BLOG ON BLOGSPOT: READING, EATING & DREAMING I WAS BLAIR WALDORF
