Notorious playboy Norris Converse is getting hit from all sides. A no-strings physical relationship has become a passionate love he never expected, and an ex-lover, who’s leaving the country for six months, divulges he has a fifteen-year-old daughter she thinks it’s time he got to know. Faced with the prospect of parenting an almost adult biracial daughter and being in love for the first time, Norris wants to settle down and have the domestic bliss his best friend enjoys. But the woman he loves, business savvy salon owner Dahlia Sinclair, is in no rush to be an ‘us’, and his newly found daughter isn’t thrilled with making room for daddy. Being in constant contact while they engage in the unconventional co-parenting of his daughter, Norris and Dahlia are forced to deal with their personal insecurities as they confront the unlike- ly love that’s left them both blindsided.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Engaging Tale, September 12, 2009

I've read Choices by Ms. Williams and truly enjoyed that book. Blindsided is the sequel to that book. I enjoyed catching up with Lauren and Ryan from that book. This book was so much better than that book! Choices was good but Blindsided was excellent. There were many reasons why I liked this book so much better....for starters, I have gotten so frustrated with authors of interracial romances making the BW in a BW/WM tale out to be insecure with little to no self esteem. It really frustrates me and I wish these authors would incorporate a new story line. This was not the case in Blindsided. Dahlia had some really legit concerns for not wanting to commit to a relationship. It had nothing to do with insecurities which was a breath of fresh air. I also hate the fact that in all these stories between a BW/WM, the BW is the one because of her love for the male and her not wanting to hurt him or because some other character is raising hell, breaks up with him by telling him some far fetched lie because they think it would be for the best! This happpened in Choices, but Ms. Williams deviated from that in Blindsided and I was truly grateful! I truly enjoyed the characters and I loved the fact that Norris's character had grown from the previous book.

Blindsided wasn't a far fetched and an unbelievable tale. Ms. Williams opened the story with the two main characters already knowing each other and in somewhat of a relationship which is quite different and unique than what I'm used to reading in Interracial Love Stories. The way they met was quite comical with Dalhia being Laura's hair dresser from Choices. If you want to read an engaging tale with truly developed characters, no editing issues or over the top conflict than this is the story for you. The race issue was dealt with but in a very mature and heartfelt way. Norris was by all means my favorite character ...even with all his vainess and ego! He was truly in love with himself but loved Dahlia so much more. He dealt with all the issues thrown at him like a true gentleman. I loved the potato chip addiction that one character had and Norris's third person talk....it made the story so much more fun. I highly recommend getting this book:)I hope I didn't give away too much! I hate when reviewers do that lol.

Business owner Dahlia Sinclair is involved in a no strings attached affair with Norris Converse. Early in the story we discover that Norris no longer wants a meaningless affair with Dahlia, because he has fallen in love with her. A relationship is the last thing Dahlia wants, after her husband destroy her faith in love. Telling Dahlia that he loves her is only one of Norris' problems, when he discovers he is the father of a 16 years old biracial daughter, he knew nothing about. He is instantly thrown into the position of father, when his daughter's recently married mother decides it is time for him to get to know his daughter and decides to move to Africa for six months.
I loved following Norris' journey of getting to know his daughter and being a good father, while fighting to convince Dahlia she is the love of his life. Great story!

This review is from: Blindsided (Indigo Love Spectrum) (Paperback)

I really really enjoyed this book, a well written heartfelt romance. I gave it five stars because it had all the ingredients of a good novel and I was totally drawn to the characters in this book. Dahlia & Norris issues felt so real and with Norris dealing with his teenage daughter, I felt for him. I won't say anymore because I don't want to give to much away, but this is a MUST read. If you are looking for hot sex, this is not for you. This story is about family, trust, forgiveness and unconditional love. Ms. Williams did a fantastic job in delivering this story, something that will touch your heart. There were scenes in this book that actually had me in tears. I highly recommend this book, its a keeper and I will read again.
