Our banter was electric. Fueled by equal parts hate and desire. And as intoxicating as our chemistry.
I had one simple goal: escape my life for a month.
Destination: a quiet cabin in the mountains.
I never expected to run straight into the one man who would turn all my plans—and my heart—upside down.
Carter Hills. One man I never thought I’d argue with…until I did. Constantly. Infuriatingly. And yet, impossible to ignore.
I moved in next door, thinking I could keep my distance. But Carter was everywhere. Grinning at me like he owned the place. Like he owned me. Single, broken, and not looking for trouble—I was a walking disaster for temptation.
The worst? He hid who he really was. On purpose. All this time, I thought my moody, hot-as-hell neighbor was just another man I’d pass by…never realizing how completely he would consume me.
From the first spark of our feud, he pushed me, provoked me, tested me…yet he kept coming back for more. Every. Single. Time.
And no matter how hard I tried to fight it, I couldn’t ignore the pull between us. Every accidental touch, every heated glance, every impossible moment of closeness made pretending we weren’t drawn together harder and harder.
Could I risk everything for a taste of the fire between us…or should I run before I got burned?
A small-town, enemies-to-lovers romance full of sizzling tension, heart-stopping passion, and a love you’ll never see coming.

I loved the beginning of Carter and April's story, they are so cute together!
As an author myself, one thing I noticed when reading "Blindsided" is how Emmanuelle's writing style is similar to mine which made the book even more enjoyable to read. 🙂 Another thing I really enjoyed about it is that it's closer to a sweet romance instead of a steamy one and the way Emmanuelle described dealing with an anxiety attack was pretty much spot on and very well-written.
One of my favorite scenes from Blindsided was when Carter taught April how to play the guitar, that was really sweet of him to do that. Two more scenes I loved was the one in the kitchen in chapter 15 and when they went sledding together.
And this was one of my favorite lines from Blindsided; “Carter Hills. The country music legend. The sexiest singer on the planet. Also known as the fit bloke who makes an entire stadium wet their panties when he plays the guitar and sings love songs.”
In conclusion, Blindsided is a great, beautifully written story with lots of both sweet and emotional moments with just the right amount of spice mixed in.
I loved this book so much and will be starting book 2 soon! 🙂🩷
WOW.
I became obsessed instantly obsessed with the characters and how their relationship would develop, and I was not disappointed!!
Throughout the book I wanted to shake both of the main characters for different reasons, and I felt it difficult to connect with the MFC at some parts, which is the only reason I’ve given 4 stars.
If you are a fan of Elsie Silver you will LOVE this book.
I feel very fortunate to have received this copy to review, thank you Book Funnel! I will definitely be reading more by the author.
I originally read this book as Pink and Country, back when it was full-length, before it was slightly changed and split into a duet. I will hold on dearly to my original, signed copy of Pink.
This book, the story, the writing - all absolutely incredible! It remains pretty much the same as in its original version, with the same beloved Carter and April I fell in love with and who brought me to the entire Carter Hills Band Universe of books (which I am completely obsessed with, plus with Emmanuelle herself)!
What a beautiful story, amazing writing, and so much chemistry - between all the characters, not just Carter and April. I got lost in this one and read it so quickly. The original book was over 500 pages, so the new split for the duet is far less intimidating at about 350 for this half. Part 2 will be coming along before we know it, with the extremely emotional second half - because I know the original version, I know I can hold on to get the conclusion and see what changes may be coming along, but anyone new will be dying to find out, based on the cliffhanger where she split it!
This half has a whole lot of emotions, a whole lot of heart, and that slow burn, grumpy sunshine, angsty rockstar, next-door neighbor romance... with a head-in-the-sand pink-haired author who is clueless about who the famous musician is, and he’s loving the anonymity - especially when his crazy ex has plastered the magazines with slanderous lies about him.
I most wholeheartedly recommend this one to absolutely everybody! A 5+ star book if I ever came across one! It’s just as good as the first time I read it. I cannot wait to read the updated second half!
I received an advance copy from the author, and this is my honest feedback.
