Two rival journalists must decide if love really can triumph over their tumultuous past to build a new, albeit different, life together in the face of their greatest challenge yet.

A chilling turn of fate sweeps these broken lovers into a fury of angst and lust. Josie Rossi returns to Oliver Billington's life, forcing him to unveil the secrets he’d harbored since their break-up a decade earlier.

Tragedy threatens to destroy every last shred of hope they shared. As their lives converge once again, Josie and Oliver must ultimately decide if trust can salvage the remnants of their love.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Juliet Braddock’s first efforts in creative writing came long before she learned to put crayon to paper. In fact, she began spinning stories in her head nearly as soon as she could form complete sentences.

As long as she can remember, she’d always created sagas about imaginary friends, family members and pop culture icons, and kept everyone around her entertained with her witty—but often very tall—tales.

For her sixth Christmas, Juliet’s mother got her a child’s typewriter to preserve all of those creative thoughts filling her head, but she quickly switched to ball point pens and notebooks when the ribbon ran dry.

Most of Juliet’s early attempts at writing romance focused on members of Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet or young leading men on Broadway. However, as she matured as a writer, she decided that it was just as much fun to create her own romantic heroes and heroines.

At an early age, she also developed a love for big cities, and the tallest of skyscrapers were never high enough for her. Juliet’s wanderlust would eventually lure her to New York, a city she often visited during her formative years, and her love affair with Manhattan began. She’d promised herself that one day she would return for good.

Juliet’s passion for writing and for big cities converged, and after graduating with a degree in Journalism, she decided to set out on a journey to find her heart…just where she’d left it.

A week after her college graduation, Juliet made the big move from a small town to New York City, where she has made her home ever since.

In between building a career in communications and writing on the side, she’s indulged in international travel, theater and art. A wine and food buff, she’s by no means a connoisseur, but she can give a few good restaurant recommendations if you’re in the city.

“There’s something so inspiring about living in a city like New York that’s so rich in culture and so very vibrant. Every neighborhood has its own story to tell,” Juliet says. “I often do my best plotting on the subway, just observing the lives unfolding around me. New York truly has a billion stories nestled between the skyscrapers.”

A proud Manhattanite, Juliet couldn’t live anywhere else—except for Paris, perhaps—and is a gushing cat-mom to a Russian Blue mix who was rescued as a kitten from the streets of Brooklyn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don’t Expect to Put This Book Down -- You May Miss your Stop
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2020

Blindsided is not an average BDMS love story. Oliver and Josie are repeatedly tested with life-altering experiences and tragedies, interspersed with fun and sexy kink. It is a page-turner in every sense — from the steamy encounters to the unanticipated events. I missed my subway stop numerous times because I was so drawn in.

As with Juliette Braddock’s other books, the heroine is strong, funny, flawed, but triumphant. The supporting characters are just as interesting and tested by life. And the interaction between Jose and Oliver is pure fun and excitement. The times when they fumbled through was most endearing.

Ms. Braddock’s story feels so real that the tragic experiences are quite frightening while the character’s journeys back from such horrors are believable. She does not gloss over but includes the emotional and physical highs and lows that made me feel as I was riding along with them.

This book better ends up on Lifetime, because it's superbly cinematic! I've read several novels by this author and enjoyed the rare combination of dark sensuality and clever humor that is her unique trademark, but this book takes it all to a new level. The characters are tough New York journalists, so you expect them to be witty and sharp-tongued, and they do not disappoint. Their banter is so fun. They start as almost antagonists, but eventually the slow burn of their mutual attraction develops into a real and profound relationship. Ms. Braddock did a superb job taking her time, teasing and putting the characters through twist and turns. The ending doesn't disappoint, but you have to deserve it! You'll be glad you took this trip.

If I could nominate them I would! Blindsided takes you through the love story of Josie and Oliver who reunite by chance after parting ways years ago. Both stubborn and cautious, terror strikes the couple with contributes to Josie losing most of her sight. Their love and devotion for each other evolves throughout the story with some kinky fun sprinkled in, of course. In true Juliet style, the author will make you laugh and cry and you will truly be touched by this beautifully written story. Josie is to be admired for her bravery in the face of adversity. She is a strong role model for women everywhere.

I have to say I was really looking forward to reading this book. Knowing the premise of the story made it even more anticipatory for me.

The trials and tribulations that happen to Josie are harder than some people can bear. I have read books before where the same kind of challenge occurs. I can honestly say, hand on heart I have never read a book where it seems so realistic and true.

Josie has to adapt to a lot of changes, hurdles, and barriers. The way she goes about it touched me in a way I still find hard to put into words.

Journalists are in a different league, Oliver especially comes across as determined. When it comes to his relationship with Josie, Oliver is determined. Nothing is rushed. How could it be? These things take time and huge amounts of care and consideration.

This author is a genius at spinning story-driven books, she knows when to be soft and when to be hard. Never treading gently for safety's sake. I found myself drowning in the words. Desperate to discover what would come next. How could this be resolved? How could they overcome that?

I have a huge amount of respect for this author. She deserves huge amounts of applause. Well done and congratulations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Read!!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2019
OMG....this was an outstanding read that took your emotions and tossed them around like a rag-doll being played with by a dog! Emotions will definitely run high with this book, but once that first shoe drops, you keep waiting--- just knowing that the second shoe will drop and expect your heart to be completely ripped out. It was the wait that gets you, ever single time with these two! You read the pages expecting the next turn to bring you to your knees. I LOVED THIS BOOK!

The characters were very well written and quite complex and charming in their own way. There were plenty of times that I wanted to bash one or both of them over the head, but they always managed to redeem themselves in my eyes by the next couple of pages. Yes, they both had their issues and eventually they managed to work those out...together! The supporting characters where amazingly written and quite lovely and supportive of these two. With Josie...her reaction to some of those supporting characters were the funniest there were. Especially with one particular doctor and one particular social worker! She spoke her mind and didn't care what anyone thought! Yes..she was her mother's daughter.

To be able to pick which part of this book was my absolute favorite is hard to do, but I think it would have to involve a dog! And I leave it at that.

I loved these two, I loved their story and I am so glad that I took this journey with them. I cannot recommend this book highly enough!

Josie and Oliver's story is just stunning! This book was so well written, I felt fully invested in these characters and all their trials and tribulations. Josie was such an endearing character, who endured so much that as a reader, I felt as though I was going through it with her. This is one of the most magnificently written books of 2019 that I have read and every page is worth it.

Blindsided is an inspiring, witty, sexy as hell tear - jerker of a book that tells us the story of feisty New York journalist Josie and her ‘one that got away’ Oliver.
The storyline held me captive from the start. My heart almost pounded out of my chest as the pair experienced a harrowing terrorist attack in London. It was this ordeal that pushed them together after a decade of bitterness. Returning to New York together they have no idea what is in store for them. A devastating medical emergency threatens to end their reunion before it has properly begun but love, devotion, determination, lots of humour and sheer survival shine through in this beautifully written story. Juliet Braddock has written amazing characters that will stay with me for a long time.
Highly recommended!
