What happens when an almost thirty-year-old virgin agrees to let her Scottish footballer best friend give her some lessons in seduction? Lots of banter, awkwardness, jealousy, and heat. Midfielder Maclay “Mac” Logan is a loud-mouthed, tattooed ginger content with focusing on football. But when an adorably-freckled seamstress comes barreling into his life, he finds Netflix-And-Bickering with her to be his new favorite pastime. Freya Cook is used to being the invisible woman with a needle and thread, offering cheeky punchlines as she helps dress London’s finest. She’s plus-sized in body and spirit, and other than her friendship with Mac, talking to the opposite sex is one skill she never mastered. However, after one innocent game of Never Have I Ever, Mac offers to play Love Coach for Freya. What neither of them see coming are the feelings that develop when the clothes come off. Now they’re both about to learn the biggest lesson of all: Don't fall in love with your best friend. Blindsided is a full length (97,000 words) contemporary rom-com standalone with a sports theme.

too much secondhand awkward for me. the dialogue was cringey for me and the british slang made it 10x worse

writing isn't for me.
very British; didn't like the references to body parts ('hunk of meat' as breasts, 'cocker' as penis, etc); Mac felt very generic, and wasn't caring for his suddenly super lusty thoughts about MFC and how he was gloating internally about being the only one to have been inside her/given her orgasms etc
writing around MFC's body seemed to drop the plus size stuff by midway? commenting about his fingers skating over her ribs (for example)
in the quickie scene on the kitchen counter, he impales her then doesn't have to move at all and they're both finishing together...
just didn't care for the writing nor about the characters
