IMO, this was not her best work. The story line was good, but the drama was a little too much for me. Also, my main problem was the typos. I try to never complain because I know the cost of editing, but OMG, this book was packed with typos.

Det. Lindow Woods can't believe the hot little attorney is going to get his chief link to a local drug ring off with almost no consequence. He though the kid should spend some time in jail. When he tries to ask her she brushes him off and heads back home. But, when she is threatened and her cousin disappears, will Lindow come to her rescue, more importantly will she rescue his heart as he tries to keep her safe?

Daria Jacobs has come out west to help her younger cousin out of a jam. He didn't do the crime he is accused of so even thought the hard assed cop seems to want him to go to jail she will make sure he doesn't. It is too bad that this cop is the first guy that has made her look more than once in the recent past. But she needs to head back to her job, and the life she has built for herself. Unfortunately, someone else doesn't want to see her cousin turn his life around and is out to get him, and shows up to take revenge on Daria. What will she do? Who will she call for help?

Blindsided was a fast paced fun read from Ms. Rochelle. I love seeing two head strong characters battle things out to get their way. I have enjoyed Ms. Rochelle's writings and continue to do so with Blindsided there is one slight drawback with this book. Red Rose does not do a great job of editing their writers works and there are a few glaring issues you run into when reading this book, though overall it did not take away from the storyline, it did occasionally confuse this reader. I loved how spunky Daria was and how she was more than the perfect match for Det. Woods. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Rochelle in the future.

I ACTUALLY WASN'T INTENDING TO BUY THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW, BUT I'M GLAD I DID AFTER READING THE WHOLE STORY. YES, THIS BOOK WAS EDITED BADLY; HOWEVER, THAT DIDN'T DETRACT FROM THE STORYLINE FOR ME. DARIA'S STRONG-WILLED PERSONALITY MADE ME THINK I WAS LOOKING IN A MIRROR, AND HER RELATIONSHIP WITH LINDOW WAS SO SPECIAL BECAUSE SHE WAS AFRAID TO TOTALLY OPEN HER HEART TO LOVE. LINDOW'S THE TYPE OF GUY A WOMAN WOULD LOVE TO BE WITH NO MATTER BLACK OR WHITE; HE LOVES WHOLE HEARTEDLY AND SOMETIMES THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING.
