Publisher's summary

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author Becca Steele comes a new standalone M/M college romance.

My first year at university started with a bang…literally.

I crashed into someone’s car. Even worse? It turns out that the person I blindsided is my new housemate, Liam, second-year student and football player.

It’s hate at first sight…until it isn’t.

But even if he doesn’t hate me anymore, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s straight.

At least, I thought he was.

One night, one kiss, and everything I thought I knew turns upside down.

They say actions speak louder than words.

And his actions tell me that he wants me.

Blindsided is a standalone M/M new adult college romance with roommates to lovers, enemies to lovers, and bi awakening themes. This book contains mature situations and content.

Blindsided by Becca Steele / LSU Book 1

Liam and Noah's relationship starts off horrible when they crash their cars into each other in the university car park and then to make matters worse, they are now roommates and their rooms are right next to each other. As Liam spends more time around Noah he starts seeing him in a new light, which is confusing since he has never looked at another guy like that before.

Liam and Noah are electric. At first, they electrocute you with their animosity and banter but then they quickly switch to shocking hot chemistry. Both Noah and Liam have their struggles and your heart goes out to them. I loved getting the updates on some of the other favourite characters in the world of Becca Steele. I can not wait for more LSU books.

James Joseph and Will Watt are the perfect selections for Liam and Noah. They gave the characters and story life and have you feeling all the emotions that the characters are experiencing.

Get ready for... mm, sports (soccer), enemies to lovers, roommates to lovers, college, gay, bi-awakening.

Amazing Story!

I absolutely loved this story. It’s briefly enemies to lovers, roommates, bi-awakening, and so so swoon worthy! It’s the little moments that make this book for me. The care the characters have for each other. Put that on top of the amazing steamy scenes and it makes this book top tier! The audiobook was amazing as well.

Absolutely love the LSU boys❤️

No matter how many times I listen to these books, I’ll never get tired of them. Liam and Noah just destroyed my heart in all the best ways. I absolutely love Will Watt and James Joseph together. They are literal perfection. They bring the stories to life in a beautiful way.

Utter perfection!

Absolutely amazing! No one does a M/M college sports romance like Becca Steele! The angst, the emotions, the revelations, the tensions, the push and pull—this story has everything and so much more! And the fact we get a glimpse into the lives of some previous other characters from this world in this story just made it even better! If you love a good straight guy bi-awakening enemies to lovers romance—this is it!

Due to some incidents in his past, Noah has an aversion to football and football players yet ironically finds himself rooming with nothing but players at his new school. Liam on the other hand is your typical jock and after a run in that leaves his car damaged has mutual feelings about Noah. However right from the start, these two amazing characters start off with a bang, and the push and pull just doesn’t stop and soon, those feelings soon manifest into so much more!

I absolutely loved how their story started out tremulous at best, and then seeing how their relationship quickly developed—the emotional turmoil and heat that these two characters brought was absolute perfection! Your heart can only feel for these two characters as Noah suffers silently while waiting patiently as Liam slowly learns to come to terms with his sexuality. What can I say? Becca is the queen of angsty MM romances! And the narrators? Well let’s just say James Joseph and Will Watt know how to bring the delicious heat and definitely understood the assignment. 🥵

If you love a good enemies to lovers, bi-awakening MM college sports romance then this is the one for you! I can’t wait for more stories to come in this series—Elliot I’m looking at you! ;)

PHENOMENAL

I'd already read this amazing story and fell in love with Liam and Noah the emotions and depth of their story just pulls you under.

But hearing it...


Wow ten times better, ten times hotter and ten times more emotional.

All the feels and all the hotness.

I loved it more this time around and these guys nailed Liam and Noah. Perfection!!!

Becca Steele never disappoints so it’s no surprise that I loved Blindsided!! I just devoured Liam and Noah’s book. The hate at first sight. That sizzling sexual tension, the will they or won’t they anticipation. The chemistry was absolutely smoking between these two. Crackling and building until an explosive combustion happened. Liam initially comes off as this broody and moody asshole but once you get to know him, you see the care and heart that lies underneath. Noah, oh my goodness Noah. He was a such sweetheart and impossible not to love. From the moment I met him I loved him. This story engrossed me from beginning to end where Becca left me only wanting more of these two! James Joseph and Will Watt were spectacular as Liam and Noah, truly bringing this story to life.

The. Prices a lone kept me up all night!

The story is good, a bit a bit of a deja vu, but the narration by James Joseph and Will Watt was the most erotic, addictive audible experience I’ve ever heard! I conjured a picture of what these guys looked like that was so vivid based on the voices, I couldn’t stop listening. I tend to listen to audible books before going to sleep and this one cost me two nights sleep! I thought about googling the performers to see what they looked like but decided not to wreck my illusion. Great work! Wow.

love the book

this book was fantastic it had just the right touch of love ,sadness and the hot factor is hight I love how they pick at each other from the start and continue even after they get together

"I wanted Noah for myself"

M/M✅
Enemies to Lovers✅

Plot 5✨
Spice 5🌶️

Noah can't wait to leave high school life behind. Noah is over it all, from being the dirty little gay secret of his school's football team captain to being picked on by said football team. College is going to be different; he is going to be different. No more football, no more being the "straight" boy's dirty secret that's his motto. He can do that no problem.

Finish Uni, get a good job, and find a girl to settle down with. Just throw in football and that was Liam's goal, the goals his dad would have wanted for him if he was still around. Nothing can stop him from achieving his goals and making his dad proud.

One fender bender.
One room assignment mistake.
Two boys left confused.

Noah said no more falling for the straight boy can he keep that promise?
Liam can't stand Noah but why?
Why can't Liam get Noah out of his mind?
Will Liam find his true self before he loses the only person to make him want more?

I loved reading this book and loved hearing it read to me even more. The voice actors did a stunning job bringing Noah and Liam to life.
The angst, tension, and lust spill off the page. The battles that both boys face within themselves are heartbreaking however it was wonderful to see them grow and find themselves. I loved that no matter how much he tried Liam just couldn't sit back and watch Liam struggle at the beginning of the book. I love a good I hate you but can't keep my hands off of you and this book delivered. I will say if you have read any of Becca's other books there may be a few familiar faces here and I couldn't have been happier that we got to see them again.

Noah and Liam beautiful break through

This is my second MM by Becca Steele and I promise you she does not fail . True the story is based on enemies to lovers College students put into real life situations however this beautifully written bi-awakening love is soul grabbing and breathtakingly good . Liam a straight football player finds something he never thought would bring him so much joy . Noah about a gay many over coming being placed back in the closet with past interactions with guys not being able to face their sexual identities is very compassionate with his feelings and makes them very clear.
Sparks fly and the spice in this story is off the charts good ! The narration of both James and Will will have panting for more .
Becca Steele has given us a story of frustrations of the difficulties of the unknown sexual identity in this bi awakening love story and she develops one helluva of HEA ! This is a must read if you enjoy MM stories . I highly recommend her work ! Enjoy !
