Defenseless: A Stand-Alone College Sports Romance (Blitzed Book 1) Kindle Edition
- Help his team win a bowl game,
- Ace his exams and, most importantly,
- Women are completely, utterly, and irrevocably off-limits.
But Cade is done with his past and he wants to prove it. When his teammates invite him to a celebration in his honor, he asks Vi to come along to keep the party-girls at bay. Except when Vi shows up without her glasses, she’s as sexy-hot as a runway model. Worse, his tutor is as off-limits as any woman can get. As the season continues, sparks fly while their chemistry darts from simmering to scorching. Until everything is blown to hell. Challenged by hateful rumors and a devastating injury, will these star-crossed lovers find the mettle to get back in the game?

- Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2023This was a great story of college angst, relationships up and down, A finding a wonderful forever person. I loved this book, I believe others will as well.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2022Care is tight end at his college. Vivianne is studying to be a CPA. After the worst year in his life, being accused of sexual assault and being expelled Cade is found not guilty.
Cades lawyer also gets the Dean to reinstate him and get him back on the football team. But he needs to seriously get his grades back up and is assigned a tutor. Enter Vivianne.
I truly enjoyed this book. It goes to show you that even a man can be a victim of lies that can ruin their lives. Interestingly enough he was targeted just because.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2021I love Cade and Vivian's story. It reminds us
to never jump to conclusions without 100%
proof. Cade remains a Gentleman even when
others are cruel. Vivian is his tutor, who
turns out to be just what he needs. I
love when honor and truth wins in the
end. Amy you never cease to amaze me.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2023I'm not a fan of insta-love but I liked the ending. I liked the inclusion of the parents and parent-figures. It was okay.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2023A stand alone story to start the series. I don't think there was anything major for me to complain about. The plus for me was the ending in that it didn't feel rushed or like it suddenly dropped off.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2023He was falsely accused of committing a crime and had his world turned on its axis.. She was hired as his tutor to help him get back on track in school.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2021I could barely put it down, I didn't want to sleep cuz having to wait to continue reading sucked, but I had to sleep.. I love how Cade finally opened his heart again.. proves no matter what happens in your past, there's someone better for you in your future.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2022Defenseless was the first college sports romance that I’ve read in months! Ive been in a reading slump, and this definitely helped to push me out of that slump.
The story starts with Cade, the main character being acquitted for a sexual assault charge. Once he’s back at college, his plan is to focus on football and school. All that changes when he meets Vivian, his accounting tutor.
Overall, I felt the characters were very likable and it was a great read! I would’ve liked to see more development in the relationship but for the short read it was, very good!

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW
So much drama in this book but it made it oh so good! I love the fight these two had to get to where they ended. The sexual tension was great and the scenes were hot!
- Louise Maryanne MonaghanReviewed in the United Kingdom on March 8, 2022
3.0 out of 5 stars Hmmm
Not a bad book, started off well and I liked the premise but what let it down for me was the depth, starts out with a gripping emotional chapter but, we only get a summarised version of what happened near the end and I felt like the characters were a tad immature considering their lifestyles before coming together and the fact there wasn't too much angst at all. They seemed to come together quickly, even with their doubts it just didn't seem to match the personalities the author had given them and their storyline, but still an alright quick read
