Blindsided: A Moo U Hockey Romance Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 1,743 ratings

What if Romeo wore hockey skates, and Juliet was raised on a farm next door?

As a life-long Vermonter, there are three beliefs I’ve always held true:

  1. Our family farm is everything
  2. Hockey is a close second
  3. The Todds next door are our sworn enemies


But this season will test everything I stand for.

I have an illicit side job that could cost me my hockey scholarship. And now Maggie Todd knows my secret. She’s waiting for the right moment to use it against me. But every time I face off against her, I learn things I shouldn’t want to know. Like how deeply her competitive streak runs, and how sexy that is. And how easy it is to make her blush… everywhere.

An Adler and a Todd cannot be lovers. Breaking that rule is like pulling a pin on a grenade--everything in my life could blow up. Can we surrender to these feelings… or will our families’ feud make us its next casualty?

Hockey Romance Goodness
This book is all kinds of good things and made me smile hard at the pop culture references and witty dialogue between characters. Blindsided is a small town, enemies-to-lovers, university, sports romance. Magnolia Todd is a spitfire in every sense of the word. Her personality is as fiery as her red hair and she still manages to be sweet, kind and loyal. Tate Adler’s going to charm the pants off you with his sexy smirk, killer abs and hockey butt. But Tate is not just some dumb jock, he’s smart, hardworking and dedicated to his family. The Todd and Adler families are sworn enemies. They hate each other with every fibre of their being which means Maggie and Tate hate each other too. Unfortunately the fine line between love and hate snaps and snaps hard. The chemistry between Magnolia and Tate made for great reading (not to mention the hot and heavy naked sexy times). Watching them come to terms with their feelings and face the repercussions, made for a thoroughly enjoyable, need to see them get their happily ever after, romance read! Blindsided gets the judy.ann.loves.books stamp of approval and has earned Victoria Denault a spot on my Favorite Authors list.

    I loved revisiting Tate and Maggie via audio! Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon were absolutely perfect. They were able to convey all the excitement and emotion so well and I enjoy all of the different tones and variations that they use to differentiate characters. Their voices complement each other very well and the audiobook made me fall in love with Tate and Maggie all over again. Definitely recommend this one!

    *****
    Blindsided was exactly the book that I needed. It was hilarious, heartfelt, sexy, and so much fun! I was already a fan of Victoria Denault's books, but this book blew me away. It fits seamlessly into the world of True North, and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. This childhood enemies to lovers, forced proximity, new adult sports romance will hook you right from the start.

    Is it bad to say that I loved how snarky and mean Tate and Maggie were to each other at times? LOL It wasn't cruel or vicious, but was more like a really good roast. They both gave as good as they got and the chemistry was off the charts. They make some mistakes and judgements about the other early on, but the shift occurred so naturally and really added to all the build up. And boy was it worth it. *fans self* Two words. The barn.

    There is some drama along the way, but I appreciated that it was more external to Tate and Maggie. Once things get going, their feelings and wishes are clear. I loved that it was Tate who often initiated the conversations between them that moved things forward. The majority of the drama in the book was centered around the Todd and Adler families and Victoria Denault tied all the pieces together so brilliantly. It set up the conflict nicely and added a fantastic twist to the end. I would have loved to see just a little more of Tate and Maggie's progression and evolution as a couple though. Blindsided introduces readers to some wonderful side characters and I'm hoping we might see a story for Daisy and Hank, as well as Jace in the future. The bonus epilogue was chef's kiss perfect and I can't recommend this book enough!

    This was a cute enemies to lovers story! Maggie and Tate are on opposites as their families both own and operate neighboring farms and have a long standing feud, even though they don’t really know why/how it started. When both their grandpa’s get arrested over sign ups for a booth at the fall farmers market and there is only one left, things get interesting. Tate ends up being blackmailed by Maggie with his secret job and they end up sharing the booth for the term. It puts them in close proximity and forces interactions that and up with things bubbling over to a physical relationship. It also forces them to see past the family feud attitude and they actually start getting to know each other and seeing that they are both good people and they would like each other except they can’t. The family feud. This story was cute and I enjoyed the banter and watching them delve deeper into the layers that make them who they are and their reasoning behind things. This story was well done and had me engaged the entire time with these characters. I really enjoyed it!

    Ahh. Maggie and Tate. The Todds and the Adlers. Families with neighboring farms and a long-standing feud. Feud may containing fist-fighting seniors, a slam-dunk throw at the dunk tank, a whole lot of secrets, and a whole lot of scowling.

    Maggie and Tate ABSOLUTELY do not intend to end this feud. In fact, their first steamy encounter was supposed to be a one and done. Except...they couldn't seem to stay away from one another. Which is fine. I'm sure nobody in their respective families are going to notice them sneaking around. Probably. Really. It'll be fine.

    To make things even more complicated, Maggie and her sister know about Tate's not-quite-approved-by-the-school side job and he's sort of on pins and needles about them revealing it. Yeah, these two have a messy, complex thing going on. But it'll be fine. I'm sure.

    On the downside, things have to get worse for these two before they can get better. But once things come to a head, secrets are uncovered, lines are drawn, and there's a chance things might work out if only these two families could get out of their own way. *thumbs up*

    Cute, sexy read. Tate and Maggie just didn’t resonate as much with me. Great plot twist though. Great tension breaker book if you need a lighter read.

    Maggie and Tate live in the same town, their farms are next to each other but thats as far as any relationship goes. Their families hate each other and when Tate and Maggie see each other in college they change direction or ignore each other. Tate's farm is struggling and Maggie hopes that at some point they will default on their mortgage and her family can buy it. Tempers flair at the local farmers market and an angry confrontation leads to a kiss that neither of them can stop. They cant get enough of each other even though they know they are playing with danger. Tate finds his place on the hockey team at risk and Maggie knows they need to break off.
