As the youngest member of an elite task force team and built as big as they come, Danny is often underestimated. It’s an image he encourages, despite sporting a genius level IQ. Currently screwing his boss’ ex and with a big problem for authority, Danny is sent to professional development coaching. He hates the idea – he’s got determination in spades to do what it takes in his job and personal … life, and thrashes against it until he meets Laura, the sexy motivator who shows him he is worth more than what he believes. When the team begins working Operation Predator, Danny’s moment of peace is shot to hell.
Danny is sent to professional coaching as part of his boss, Cal’s, efforts to hold the team together after their last operation. When he discovers his motivator is the gorgeous jogger he’s been working out with, Danny is determined to flirt his way through his coaching, stubbornly refusing to delve into personal truths he’s been hiding from himself for years. He’s relieved when he’s placed on an undercover assignment – his preferred area of expertise.
Moving in with a group of gym junkies isn’t a bad way to spend assignment – especially when he gets to hack as well. The group remove small change from banks, but Danny feels there is something bigger in the works – until he is spotted by Laura, who almost blows his cover. Pulled from his assignment, Danny is furious. Tensions rise during their coaching sessions as more odd hacks catch Danny’s attention.
Their budding relationship is blown to pieces when he opts to go back undercover, determined not to let Laura distract him.

I enjoyed reading this book. The characters are well developed and engaging and the storyline flows smoothly from beginning to the end.

Great Book. Danny has brains and brawn! I’ve never read an undercover book with such depth. The chemistry between Danny and Laura is off the charts. The guys in the story were true to their nature i.e., cars, trucks, body building, clubbing, skinny dipping, fear facing challenges. This book had me hooked from the beginning and I didn’t want to put it down.
Reach high for ur assignment, ur job, ur client, ur love, ur friendship, n ur unit. Bout sums it up, danny and every one in his inner circle reach high to be the best or the competitive aspects they rise above a normal “agency”
These Blue Blooded Brothers books are so exciting! I love following along with the precinct and the guys as they chase Logan’s trail and fall in love during that process, despite all of the danger and craziness happening. I also like seeing how each of the books has a case that is linked in some way to the main larger case they were originally trying to crack, although this one wasn’t as obvious until further into the book. The characters in this series are easy to fall for, even if they seem unlikable at first or even in previous books. Each character is so different and seeing their point of view makes this series even better. Danny played a smaller part in Cal’s book and I’m glad it was his turn to be in the spotlight. And that it wasn’t with Mandy because she’s completely insane. Too bad it took him a few months to figure that out completely. His relationship with Laura was so much healthier for him because she was able to break him down and see the foundation of the person he really was, when he wasn’t hiding behind the mask he always wore after participating in so many undercover missions. Although their relationship was a little taboo, it made it that much more exciting. But I guess the Blue Blood family has a thing for taboo relationships (Cal with Mila, a witness of a bank robbery). What I’m really excited for is Micah’s story. He’s a pretty interesting guy and I can’t wait to see how his book goes. Maybe some sparks with Jimmy??
I gotta say, this book was everything and nothing like I expected. I could not put it down once I started it and did not want it to end when I got there.
An emotionally charged story-line that grabs you right from the start, keeping you engrossed throughout.

This one was quite interesting. So we have Danny who is a cop and just happens to be one heck of a hacker and undercover agent. However, his boss sends him to see someone to help him with his path. Danny seems to be with a mindset that he is capable of doing both jobs and still be fine. Little does he know that his bosses are trying to help him succeed and be a better cop. So he meets Laura who will be handling his professional development. Little do they both know what is in store for them. Can Laura help him achieve a professional goal? What do they both learn about each other? What will happen once Danny goes back undercover? One thing happened that threw me for a loop but I can’t tell you because you will need to read the book to find out. We do get a happily ever after? I cannot wait to see who is next in this series.
Oh, Danny boy. The sexy youngster of the team with a huge chip on his shoulder. I don’t think anyone else could do this character the justice he deserves. Sofia Aves has converted me from a hard no to romantic suspense books to, OMG I need more. I can’t even put into words how well written this book is. The character building is some of the best I’ve seen within the writing world. You can’t help but want to dig deeper into each character and pull out their truths. Amazing job on this book. I look forward to the next.
I really enjoyed this book. It was different genre from what I normally read but it was definitely worth the read. I like Danny. And Laura to. This was my favorite book of Sofia’s. I highly recommend it to everyone. I can’t wait to see what the futures holds
I loved this story, after reading Collision (Book 1) I really wanted to know Danny’s story. You don’t have to have read book 1 but it will help.
Danny was a great character, likeable, cheeky but desperately needing focus in both his personal and professional life.
Laura was likeable, she leads a simple lifestyle but is focused on her career. Her job totally confused me throughout the book. She was brought in to deliver Professional Development training and this translated to a counsellor/psychiatrist/motivational support.
It was great to see the will they, won’t they relationship forming, especially with all the outside influences.
The other characters are also really interesting and help with the overall police storyline which I hope will continue into book 3. I’d love to see more of Black and Micah in future books.
Blindsided is the second full book in the Blue Blooded Brothers. With an IQ very few can match Danny is single, carefree and the youngest member of the team. With Logan still calling the shots, his undercover work is under threat and Cal sending him to professional development training Danny’s world is about to be challenged.
An engaging story with great character dynamics and interaction. I enjoyed Blindsided and would recommend you grab this book and series.
Just love Danny and Laura’s story.
Danny was someone I wanted to know more on right from the beginning so I was glad didn’t have to wait too long for this book. It has made me absolutely love him.
Laura seems to really see through the mask that Danny has got so used to wearing being Undercover so much and right from first seeing each other there is attraction between them.
This is a slow burner in they don’t instantly get together but the attraction and feelings definitely build and made for an enjoyable read.
So I found this to be a slightly easier book to read than the first one, enough for me to invest in the third book anyway, since I’m now really wanting to have all the characters get their hea. Still a complex read and some repetitive aspects but at least Danny came out of this one a bit more mature and used his instincts in a better way. Still feel the professional side of things isn’t quite there not just with Danny and Laura but also this under cover business, which it was mentioned as being a two year only side of police work. Danny has been with the team five years and has had several under cover missions lasting some time, enough that it is affecting him and people have noticed, so why is he then sent back under cover? Consistency! It has to be answered, explained and executed. There were some interesting twists and I think other books also tie into those even though not indirectly in this series. I do feel the author was much more fluent with this so it made for a better read over all and showed improvement in her writing skills so I am going to support that and her characters by reading the next book. Started 4/8/21 Finished 5/8/21
This is book 2 in the Blue Blooded Brothers series. I hadn’t read a series or book like this. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Danny and Laura . The story line was amazing and not was I was excepting this book had me from the first page. Looking forward to reading book 3 in this series.
Thank you Sofia for letting me review your books, you are an amazing writer.
The second book in the Blue Blooded series and I liked it a lot! The story is well written and very interesting characters!
I recommend to read this series in order just because they are very good and you get a better feeling for the characters. Although it’s perfectly readable as a standalone. I received this arc from the author and this review is my honest opinion.
I’m really loving the Blue Blooded Brothers series!
I love how each story is entwined with the next. This is the story of Danny and Laura which picked up where Collision left off.
I didn’t think Danny would be next in line to fall in love because he had a temper out of this world and he didn’t know how to leave the undercover life alone.
Laura saw the good in him that he couldn’t see within himself. There were times that I thought she would give up on him because he was more than a hand full but together, they made it through.
Their story is packed with action, lies, a steamy whirlwind romance and more. I can’t wait to see where the rest of the series takes us!
Danny is definitely the Alpha type, with an attitude towards authority but still fiercely loyal and protective of those he cares about.
At a crossroads in his career, he needs to decide if he will continue with undercover work or specialise in another field.
Laura was hired to be his professional development coach and sparks fly as soon as they meet. From the beginning you see how strong, confident and thoughtful she is and as the story develops so do her feelings for Danny. She’s genuine and you can see how much she cares about him.
I loved their chemistry and it became more intense as they tried to suppress their feelings and keep it professional while working together.
With his work commitments and needing to deal with the effects of having done so much undercover work, it wasn’t as easy for them to just be together.
I enjoyed the action and suspense in this story and the depth given to the main characters as they worked through their issues. I loved the steamy romance in this story too!
Not knowing how these two would make it work and finally be together or how his latest undercover case would play out kept me reading until the end.
Another great book to the series! This is Danny and Laura’s story. The author does a fantastic job building the suspense and had me glued to the pages. Her characters and scenes are described perfectly and the story flows fluidly. I loved this book and would highly recommend reading.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
This was a good book to read. This was a book that was reality in some people’s lives. Thank you for writing this book for us to enjoy
