Miller: When Talon left to play pro ball six years ago, the hole in my chest confused me. I focused my heartache into making my own NFL dreams come true, and by the time I was drafted, the longing I had for my best friend was buried deep.Now he wants everything to be like it was in college, but we can’t have threesomes and be reckless like we once were. The media storm would be enough to break … enough to break both our careers.That’s not my biggest concern though. The torch I had for him burns brighter after so long apart, and there’s nothing I can do about it. Marcus Talon is straight.I need to stay away from him.
Talon:
Years ago, Miller and I made a pact that we’d win a Super Bowl together. When I’m offered a position on his team in Chicago, I don’t hesitate. I move across the country to chase a dream that’s a decade old.Only, now that I’m here, he’s avoiding me every chance he gets. If he was anyone else, I’d cut my losses.But this is Shane Miller–the guy who makes everything better just by existing in my universe. The guy I’d do anything for. The guy who’s more to me than a brother, a friend, or even a teammate.I’m not going to let him get away.
Blindsided is a full-length MM novel with a HFN/HEA and no cliffhange. Unlike the other books in the Fake Boyfriend universe, Blindsided does not contain a fake boyfriend trope.

Oh my. Talon & Miller. I’m done. They ruined me. The emotions that were laid out on the line by both of them as they discovered themselves is powerful. Talon & Miller meet during college & their first night at a party which introduces them to a world of emotions & feelings that they both leave hidden. They end parting ways due to football but years later Talon’s gut brings him back to Miller. Well, he doesn’t fully admit that at first since they were just buddies who hooked up with the same girl together & often previously. Their connection is as strong as ever and leaves both confused but not sharing about their feelings to each other. Neither knows how the other feels & doesn’twant to ruin a great friendship but stepping over that line. The self discovery is real, emotional and heartfelt. Talon & Miller stole each other’s hearts & will hold a special place in yours too.
Eden Finley has what I like to call “the author black magic” it gives her the ability to create characters that not only makes you feel like they are real but to make them amazing. This is no small feat when taking on Marcus Talon and not to forget Shane Miller someone who is also strong enough to take on Marcus Talon!
Talon: He was everything I expected and hoped he would be with some additional awesomeness added in! He is playful, exasperating, overwhelming, and so very dedicated to those he loves.
Miller: He was a bit of a surprise to me. The first word I think of is endearing although this comes along with a big dose of “dude I want to slap you” so he will realize how awesome and deserving he is. Oh but when Miller unleashes his unfiltered self…wow!
These two are explosive together and in the very best way. They will run you through all the feels. Talon and Miller are never boring and always amazing!
This is the fourth book in this series and I absolutely loved it!! Tallon and Miller are great together. There are so many great moments in this book and several that will make you laugh out loud. This series isva must read and I can’t wait for the next one.

Eden knocks it out of the park! A truly wonderful Gay-for-You Story! I love Talon and Miller!
Talon and Miller were the best secondary characters in Trick Play and now have their own totally awesome story!!
Eden has done a wonderful job with these two and with all the pressure, it was a lot to live up to and absolutely Eden delivers!!! Talon is just as lovably immature as he is in Trick Play and Miller is the strong understanding best friend (pinning from the sidelines). The story follows in the same timeline/game season as Matt’s (from Trick Play) as part of the same NFL team. It’s great to see the intertwining story/characters lines and thankfully all the favorites make an appearance (Got to love Maddox!).
This story is about coming to terms with being attracted to your best friend in a male/testosterone filled football world. Miller has always know he was bisexual/pansexual and it has always been Talon for him. Talon is beyond excited to have Miller on his team again and looks forward to chasing their college dream of winning the Super Bowl together. With a bit of miscommunication and a ‘fun time’ sharing a couple of girls, Miller realizes he can’t keep pinning and needs to move on so starts ghosting Talon. Talon is a bit hurt, confused and clueless at this and starts to realize his conflicting feelings for Miller. I love that once Talon starts to acknowledge these feelings (while freaking out a little), he wants to learn/understand everything there is to know about gay relations and in true Talon, fashion hilarity ensues!! Eden injects the perfect about of wit into this story and you can’t help but laugh out loud. As the story progresses Talon makes up his mind and his and Miller’s chemistry explodes! Their relationship is not without problems but their time together is wonderful and I’m so happy with the awesome happy ending of this story! Another winner for Eden! I loved it!!

I’ve been waiting for this book and it’s was worth it. A sweet and sexy read I devoured. Talon and Miller’s story was everything I was hoping it would be. By far my favorite Eden Finley read. Can’t wait for her next book.
Miller and Talon are college football buddies who shared everything. When Talon gets a chance to play for the same team as Miller he grabs it.
Super hot and sweet. I loved how Talon was not afraid to work through his new feelings. He went for it 100%. Miller was so sweet. I get like the relationship was believable. The obstacles they faced were realistic. Perfect blend of heat, angst, and swoony romance. In the Fake boyfriend world. Can be read as a stand-alone but references characters from the previous books. I highly recommend the entire series.
