A quick read that is sweet and sexy. This doesn’t really focus on the actual cheating, except in the very beginning when the cheaters are caught. It’s about the husband and wife that were cheated on. I’m not usually a big fan of infidelity in any form, but this was an enjoyable read. The Dual POV was well done and easy to follow. The devastation of adultery and dealing with its aftermath is handled realistically but not too deeply due to the length of the story.

Nia and Jack are both married to people who have drinking problems that brings out their egocentric tendencies. As Nia and Jack help each other through this very trying time they start to fall for each other. In this new relationship they face some of their own issues and are more open and honest with each other. As a result this new relationship is healthier, happier and way more smexually satisfying for both of them.

Blindsided (Just a Couple Ex's) is a contemporary, interracial romance featuring black business owner Axel Savvi who discovers his wife is cheating with the husband of local businesswoman Liv Darwin.

The story immediately draws the reader in with the deception. As the story progresses and suspicions are confirmed, a new awakening begins. It was refreshing that such a true and loving bond resulted from the turmoil of Axel and Liv's original bleak situation.

This is the first novel I've read by S. Anders and I was definitely engaged from beginning to end. The plot was straightforward and while it was easy to decipher how the novel would end, it was no less enjoyable.

Liv Darwin and Axel Savvi thought they were in happy committed marriages until they're shocked to discover their spouses are cheating with each other. It is quite the blow to both of them to discover the deceit and this awful event pushes them together to seek solace. It's painful for them both, but from tragedy brews a new and even more meaningful relationship.
