Blindsided by T. Christensen – Review by Michelle Austin

Blindsided: A Contemporary Sports Romance by T. Christensen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an emotional friends to enemies, bully romance. I was crying pretty much from the start, I couldn’t believe what Krista went through. Brock and Krista were friends since they were 4 years old. When a new girl (victoria) moves to their neighborhood they become friends with her too. Due to a heartbreaking, humiliating scene there is a devastating twist that turns Brock completely against Krista and for three years she is bullied, and picked on so badly that she has severe anxiety and keeps to herself in school. It’s finally her senior year and all she has to do is try to get through the next few months.

When a new boy (Rylan) starts school he tries to befriend Krista but not without some resistance from her. She’s pretty sure that Brock will squash their friendship before too long. But Rylan refuses to listen to Brock and continues to be her friend. This friendship stirs something in Brock that he doesn’t like and he starts to see red whenever Rylan is with Krista. As the story moves forward questions start to arise about the past. Will the truth finally come out? Can Krista forgive Brock for the past?

Overall I really enjoyed this read. I loved and hated some of the characters. My most favorite was Rylan, he was so good to Krista and never doubted her. He was a true friend, exactly how Brock should have been from the start. Brock was one that I’m still a little angry with, I wasn’t happy with the choices he made and he has a lot of making up to do to Rylan. I can’t help but want a little more from these characters. I feel like Victoria isn’t quite gone yet and I would love to see Rylan find his true love. If you’re looking for a great emotional read with wonderful characters that you connect to this is the book for you. I can’t wait to read more from this author. 1-click and get started today.
