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 fake dating college sports romance with "lessons" and opposites attract. It is a complete stand-alone.

I always underestimate how much I'm going to love a book by Kandi Steiner until I start reading a new one and go “oh, yes, why did I think this wasn't going to blow me away?”
Blind Side is set in the same world as Fair Catch but is a standalone. You do not need to read Fair Catch to read Blind Side, but it enhances your reading experience for sure!
Clay Johnson is the hottest football safety. His highschool girlfriend just moved across the country to....break up with him? Being lost, he turns to Giana Jones, PR coordinator for the team, to pretend to be his girlfriend to make her jealous. But what's in it for Giana? Well, she has her eye on a certain guitar playing singer who plays at coffee shops and bars around campus. Clay will help her be noticed, and Giana will help make Clay's ex jealous. Sounds simple right?
Well of course, nothing is simple. From first kisses, to movie nights watching documentaries on the ocean, to checking out the night sky, these two end up falling in love.
Giana is the best. She finds her voice through the book and I loved seeing her have more confidence in who she is by the end.
Clay is just a wonderful, sweet guy. He truly just wants the best for those around him, even if it means he hurts in the process.
Definitely put this one on your TBR if you haven't yet! It's so good!
