Adriane Leigh…. you are KILLING ME!!! I am so happy the second part comes out next month. I need answers!!!!!
Blindsight is a suspenseful, fast paced and sexy story. It’s a story with lots of secrets and not a lot of answers. It’s one of those books you pick up and can’t put down because you’re so curious to see whats going to happen and what you’re going to find out. The ending made my jaw drop. I wouldn’t call it a cliffhanger, more like a WTF I need to know more about this moment.
“I want to know all the things you don’t tell people. The bad things you’ve done, the things you keep… to yourself.”Erin is in need of a job and when she’s approached by the allusive Hunter, she can’t pass up what he’s offering. It’s a PA job like no other. Hunter is a photographer. He turns erotic images into art. He’s talented, he’s mysterious and he has more secrets than you can even imagine. But Erin has secrets of her own…
This story was intriguing from start to finish. I love Adirane’s writing and the way she can pull you into a story. I can’t wait to find out more about these characters and the secrets they keep!
December 8, 2015
Questions. Questions. Questions. It is strongly twisted. I have a headache, but nothing will stop me from reading further. I want some answers.
About the plot: Erin is in need. She must find a job to become independent. When she goes to a job interview, falls into a very handsome and appealing guy, Hunter. He is proposing her job as a PA, and she can not resist him in any subject. Hunter is a photographer, and doing artistic nude photos. She accompanied him on trips where they make hot photoshoots and try not surrender to passion for each other. They both have secrets, which over time collects a lot.
Final thoughts: This book is very confusing. Firstly it begins with a shocking prologue. It has two POV, mostly it is Erin POV, but there is also the person POV who was watching her. From the very beginning Hunter is very mysterious. He is intense, rough and incredibly appealing. And she can not resist him. But you just know that something is not right.
Although there is a lot of testing, it is extremely erotic and hot. This steaming photo sessions will stimulate you before they even reach the bed. And when they do, it is fire, passion and a bit of bondage.
So why only three stars? Because kinda too much frustrating. This part does not give us any answers only mystery. You can go crazy, but it is certainly intriguing. So I could not give more, I'm waiting for answers and developing the action. But the whole series is going to be definitely encouraging.

Erin is down on her luck. On her way to a job interview that could turn her life around and get her out of her current situation she bumps into Hunter. She’s immediately attracted to the sexy man.
Hunter is a photographer who specialises in erotic shoots for the rich and famous and offers her a job as his PA. Desperate for a job, Erin accepts his offer and her life is turned into a fantasy of exotic locations and steamy situations with Hunter.
From the very beginning this book grabs your attention with a killer prologue! I thought the book was cleverly crafted with subtle (and not so subtle) hints of something dangerous coming. Hunter as an H was amazing. Mysterious, sexy, controlling and tatted up. His body is covered in scars and he is extremely secretive about his past. He’s curious about Erin and her life and yet seems to know little fact about her that he shouldn’t.
The steamy scenes between these two were insanely erotic, not only because of the steamy situations and creative sexy times, but also because of Hunter’s flirting and intense personality. The characters were both attracted to each other but Hunter has reasons to not let himself succumb to them.
Erin as a character didn’t have much depth but I feel like this was done deliberately. Mainly told from Erin’s POV this book also has a POV from a stranger watching Erin in secret adding to the mystery of the story. This is a short, very sexy and fast paced book. I kept checking my progress on this book because I didn’t want it to end.
An excellent start to the series but be warned that it ends in a cliffy and the second book will be released in November 2015. I cannot wait to see how this story unfolds!
Absolutely recommend this book to EVERYONE!

Blindsight is an intense, erotic mystery that kept me turning the pages. I can't stop thinking about this story!
October 23, 2015
That was a great suspenseful, sexy story and boy was I blown away. For those who like thriller and romance this book is a whole meal. It was a very fast-paced story and very hard to put down.
The secrets surrounding Hunter, the mysterious stalker and Erin's naivete and gullibility made the characters interesting and kept me entranced and glued to my Kindle. Erin seemed to be more emotional and sensitive, whereas Hunter was more ruthless and rough. He was unpredictable and Erin never knew what was coming next. The stalker's secret identity added to mystery.
The events in this book will have you on the edge of your seats, yearning for the next book. That ending will leave you speechless. You just want to know what happens. The plot is unusual and the book isn't set up to play out like the usual suspense story. Overall I really enjoyed it. The only thing I kept asking myself was who is that guy after Hunter and Erin? And that prologue!!!??

WTF have I just read? This book has left me completely confused and with a billion unanswered questions!! The whole story was wrapped in mystery and left me wanting to know what the hell was going on.
When Erin and Hunter first met there was an instant attraction that couldn't be ignored, especially by Hunter, so it wasn't long before things got steamy. Before I knew it the pair were head over heels for each other. As this was only the first part of the story, I felt that I didn't really get to know Hunter and Erin that well and as they were both so secretive, I felt as though I needed to know much more about them before I could decide how I truly felt about the pair. I also struggled to fully invest in Erin and Hunters relationship because unfortunately I did not feel any chemistry between the two and I thought their relationship seemed to develop way too quickly. Despite this, I am intrigued by the pair so I may change my mind as the series continues.
I have been left utterly baffled by this book and with an ending that made me want to throw my kindle at the wall, I can't wait to read the next book in the series. It's definitely one that has piqued my interest.
"Blindsight" gets ❤️❤️❤️.5 from me.

Thank you to Adriane Leigh for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Blindsight is a tough book to review, because to be honest, I’m still not sure what the hell happened. What makes it difficult right off the bat is that I never really connected with either character, but I’m not sure I was meant to. (At least not yet.) Secrets abound in this book that even the reader isn’t privy to. That makes it nearly impossible to get to know who you’re reading about, and the whole experience makes the reader feel disconnected.
The story is interesting. As far as we know, Hunter takes erotic photos for a living, and Erin is down on her luck in desperate need of a job if she wants to remain in her current living situation. Hunter offers her a job as his PA, solving that problem. But working with him brings a whole slew of new ones, including an attraction she isn’t ready for. Erin is unable to resist Hunter’s advances, and they embark on a relationship of sorts where neither really knows the other one. There were some intimate scenes here, but because of the detachment I felt toward the characters, it lacked the steam I was hoping for. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that of the two, Hunter seems to have a closet that has more skeletons than a graveyard. The book ends on a cliffhanger, but not the one you think it’s going to be.
So here’s the thing – this book is part of a serial, and I reserve the right to change my rating once I’ve read all three parts. I’m hopeful that this is all going to come together in a way that wows me. Wild by this same author is one of my go-to reads when I want a dirty talking hero, and his book started off like this one. Not plot-wise, but Wild was full of secrets, particularly on the heroine’s side, and it took a while before the characters warmed up enough to each other to be themselves, and that one ended up being a huge win for me. I’m really not sure where this series is going, so I’m going to cross my fingers and trust the author on this one.

I loved this book. It was sexy and mysterious.
Watch Erin as she gets entangled into Hunter's life. Hunter is a handsome and dark erotic photographer with secrets. Can their attraction overcome all the things that they keep hidden?
The book was sensual and fun to read. I simply cannot wait for the sequel!!!

This was my first read by Adriane Leigh but I don’t think it was the one for me. The writing style is good but I just found myself disinterested. The storyline is actually an interesting one and that cliffhanger on the end is making me want to buy the box set as there isn’t a choice to just buy the second book.
This book is a short-ish read with a cliffhanger at the end. I enjoyed most of the book there were some parts that had me skipping over. I found myself skimming through the words as they weren’t connecting with me like some of the others did.
The sex though, that was hot. Especially the shoot with the tree, I thought I was gonna need a cold shower hah.
I’ll definitely try another book from this author in the future

☆ I received an ARC via Ardent PRose in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!! ☆
Damn, I cannot wait for the sequel!! While not the cliffy that I expected, Blindsight definitely kept me on my toes with the crumbs of puzzle pieces it gave off.
I felt like Hunter’s life was a big weave of secrets and mysteries. I mean, just when Erin, and us readers would find one clue out, out came another. That man was just one hell of a conundrum.
His rapport with Erin is quite interesting, as it isn’t the conventional type of one that readers are used to. There was an initial spark between them, but their ‘romance’ was a bit slow brewing, as there’s so much more under the surface than what Hunter exudes and lets known.
I felt like, during the course of this first part of this series serial, we are just scratching the extremities of what’s to come. Damn, I can’t wait!!

Blindsight is the first book in an exciting new serial series by Adriane Leigh. Since this is a serial series, I can’t say too much, because I don’t want to give anything away. Here is what I can tell you: Blingsight is fast paced, mysterious, and intriguing. It pulls you in from the very first page and leaves you asking questions right until the very end. This story is sexy, and I mean SEXY. You can never go wrong with an alpha male :)
I loved the story-line for Blingsight. I thought it was really unique and not like anything I’ve read lately. I will warn you though, this book does end on a big cliffhanger and it is one that I did not see coming. I know I will be on pins and needles, waiting for the next episode.

4 Sexy Suspenseful Stars
The Wild Series made me an Adriane Leigh fan but I have a feeling this serial is going to put her at the top of my "Must Read" Author List! Her writing tends to have themes that lean into the dark a bit and I can't get enough.
I knew going in this was the first book in a serial, so I will not complain about the cliffy ending...well maybe just once. Why oh why did you do me this way, Adriane? Ok, now that I have gotten that out of my system I know the wait will be torturous for the next book but what gives me comfort is knowing it will be well worth the wait.
Blindsight takes being "hooked from the first page" to a new level. From the first words of the Prologue I couldn't put it down. I know there is still so much of the story yet to be told and that's what makes this both maddening and exciting. Erin and Hunter have a connection that vibrated off the page. I was consumed and couldn't get enough of them. They are two damaged people with baggage and secrets for days and I can not wait to see what twists and turns are coming.

Spoiler Ahead This was a pretty good book that I wanted more of not really sure more of what though. Erin Warner works as a copywriter and editor and crosses paths with the mysterious and hot Hunter Ellis. She mentions that she was supposed to be meeting someone for a job and he says that he is looking for an assistant. He leaves his card and tells her to call. Turns out that Hunter is an amazing photographer and he travels to all kinds of exotic locations for his shoots. He hires her on the spot and days later she is traveling with him to Portugal for the first shoot. Erin fines herself drawn to Hunter and although she tries to keep it professional they move quickly she is blind to the fact that he has some deep dark secret's and it was no accident that they met. This was a short read with a cliffhanger. This was my first time reading this author this book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I hope that the next book in this series will be longer and darker.

I love Adriane Leigh. Wild is one book I'll never forget.
So I was excited to see what she had in store with this new book, Blindsight.
Ummmm. This book really threw me for a loop. I still don't know what the f@ck is going on. There are so many secrets and not even the reader knows the secrets. It's tough when I'm reading from the character's POV but I'm not privy to the secrets, I have a hard time connecting to the characters. It's tough to understand motives, feelings, etc.
That being said, I couldn't STOP READING because I wanted to figure out WTF is going on. I was on the edge of my seat, trying to make predictions, but I did NOT see that ending coming.
So what we get with this first installment is a lot of questions, not a lot of answers.
Adriane, I need answers. Must get the next book soon!!!

4 In Focus Stars
Everyone today is a good photographer. Filters. Lighting. Color Adjustments. You can make a bad picture good and a good picture great. But sometimes what’s behind the camera is just as intriguing as what’s ¬¬in front of the camera. And twice as out of focus.
Erin is trying to make it on her own. She needs a job. So when a sexy guy offers her a job slightly out of her field, she takes it. She really likes to eat. And a paycheck is a paycheck. And bonus…..her new boss has abs and tats. Score
He shouldn’t interest me as much as he did but he was every lovely trigger I possessed—sexy, inked and aloof. My favorite combination.
Hunter is a famous photographer. He takes Erin to exotic locations, introduces her to new foods, and awakens new feelings for her. You see, Hunter is an erotic photographer. He likes to look deep inside someone and capture their soul. While they are tied up. Wait….tied up? And tats. And rich. Hello trifecta!
Of course Erin falls for him. Falls into him. Who wouldn’t? But Hunter has a past. Secrets he wants to leave behind. But those kind of secrets don’t let you loose.
Ms Leigh gives us a great story full of love and lust. And italics Someone is in italics. Intrigue and mystery are always in italics. Blindsight will blindside you. Just when you think this is a love story with some mystery, it sneaks up on you and gives you full blown mystery with some romance. And it will leave you hanging. Out to dry. I need the rest now. I have so many questions. All in italics!

This was one fantastic suspense romance book. There are all these hidden secrets that are ready to come out and while, as the reader, you think you know something, we don’t know ANYTHING. There are so many layers upon layers in a fast paced, rapidly moving story which can change at a moment’s notice and there is so much sexual chemistry between the MC, which makes this an even hotter book. Also the heroine is dealing with a stalker so there is that angle.
Erin is in need of a job and when she’s approached by the mysterious Hunter, she can’t turn down what he’s offering her. It is a PA job that really no other is out there and the pay is great. Hunter is a photographer and what he does, well, lets say its unique. Hunter is mysterious, he has secrets , more secrets that you and I combined but Erin has secrets too…They start working together and that is when the roller coaster ride starts. Hunter was unpredictable and Erin never knew what he would do or what was coming next. Then Erin gets a stalker--The stalker's secret identity added to this suspense /mystery.
All I can tell you is, I loved every minute of this story and the cliffhanger had me yelling out NOOOO. I Needed to know what was going to happen. I cannot wait for book 2. I need to know what is going to happen to Hunter and Erin, who the stalker is and will Hunter and Erin have their HEA…this book is a fantastic mix of everything I look for in my romance book-hot sex, mystery, suspense, ALPHA hero, sweet heroine, nasty villain, action…everything –THIS IS ONE book you do not want to miss.
My rating: 4.8 stars *****

Four Stars- I received an ARC for an honest review of Blindsight by Adriane Leigh
This story was good from the start, I was kept curious about Hunter and Erin's relationship from the start. The ending was probably the biggest surprise because I didn't realize both of them were keeping secrets from one another. I'm ready for book #2.

BlindSight
Adriane Leigh
4 stars
Adriane Leigh is a new author for me so I was anxious to get into the pages of this one. Wowza. This one is a thriller with lots of steamy added in.
The story comes to us in a rather sneaky way unfolding small bits and pieces at a time. What a great way to keep the pages turning. Erin Warner is running late to her meeting and wham boom bams right into a striking mysterious man. A man who offers her a job. The man’s name .. Hunter Ellis. Being down on her luck and needing a new direction, Erin takes the PA job.
Hunter is a photographer who turns his pictures into art. Steamy art. Intimate art. Hello! Yup. Erin being his assistant follows Hunter all over the world as he picks and chooses some of the most brilliant spots to create. Now lets think about this .. you are following a hot mess of a man around taking swanky photographs um … what do you think starts to happen. Lord I would be tossing my clothes off left and right ladies. Im not going to lie. As the boom starts between the two another character comes into the mix. Someone we don’t know and has an interest in Erin. The character is connected to her but she of course is very unaware leaving her vulnerable. I wanted more of this part so that's why the 4 star. I needed more .. and maybe we will get that in Book 2 so if that's the case then of course the rating will skyrocket. BUT that does not mean you don't need this book .. cause you do.
As the story progresses we end of finding out that Hunter has some serious closet secrets. The cliffhanger is a doozie. This one is a keeper my friends. I wasn’t sure about the male lead as Im a more hardcore type man lover but Hunter ended up being a nasty man. You will find out some of the secret and lies being told but not all of them which is going to make you want round two immediately. I love that.
Good read for me. Quick but not painless and that’s a good thing. I received an ARC for an honest review and I want to thank Adriane. Review to post to Ramblings From Beneath The Sheets. Click this one up!

4.5
Every inch of this book is pure HOT and steamy passion that makes crave so much more..
It's a romance story that takes a sexy and erotic meaning to a whole new level. ART. It possessed a quality that I haven't seen in many sexy new adult books. A quality that makes you question what you should expect from a story or a love in general.
I absolutely adored this one.
When I saw how short it was, I wasn't too sure what to expect. Seeing that bloody hot cover is one thing, not to mention the blushing that soon followed just thinking about dirty mouthed and sexy tattooed alphas. But, when I flipped through that first page, I was done.
ADDICTED.
It's as fast paced as it is a fast read.
Erin is a character that I tried not to want to like. Her decisions when it came to accepting a "strangers" propositions, and a huge proposition at that, is the polar opposite of what I might have done or said. I mean, to me it would make sense to politely say no.
Now, here are the issues with saying no. First, Hunter is bloody sinful and as sexy as they get. If he didn't exude all those dirty and blushing thoughts we get when thinking of that perfect guy then I truly don't know what does.. Throughout the entire story we get so much calm and easygoing sexiness from Hunter that y brain doesn't even register how far I have gone in trusting my first thought of "stranger danger". I mean, come on. That was a sneaky move from the author. Falling for a character that I usually warm off from my friends and myself.. Yup. That's what BLINDSIGHT did.. No regrets.
Second, Erin's mindset grew on me and it grew fast just like the story came to an end. She took fat risks but from her reasoning and how their relationship flowed, developed and united, I could not have been happier.
This couldn't have been any faster or an addictive of a read. I was so disappointed that I would have to say goodbye to bloody Hunter!!!
Of course there ARE some twisted parts to the story and a mystery that had my heart at the pit of my stomach..
Again, bloody loved this book! Cannot wait for more..
THANK YOU Adriane Leigh for the ARC, I look forward to all of your future work xx

Is there such a thing as coincidence? As Fate, stepping in when most needed? It would seem like it for Erin Warner, whose life changes completely when a chance meeting with a sexy and intense man results in a dream job. But Erin quickly learns that Hunter Ellis has his secrets, and that they may be better left undiscovered.
BLINDSIGHT, the first book in a three-part serial by author Adriane Leigh, is quite something. Action-packed from the get-go, from the mysterious prologue that had me wondering what I was in for, to the crazy ride that is Erin and Hunter's relationship from the moment that they meet on a busy street corner, this book is a whirlwind.
The chemistry between Erin and Hunter is immediate; he affects her like no one else has. The dance between them is heady and erotic, and leaves no question as to how they feel about each other. They both realize that getting involved may be risky, but seem unable to help themselves. Lucky for us, because this is steamy beyond belief. Throw in the mysterious voice of Erin's 'watcher,' and the secrets that both Erin and Hunter have, and you have BLINDSIGHT, a book that I just could not put down.
The killer part here, though? We are left with a cliff-hanger and a half. Some serious stuff is about to be revealed, then BAM!, 'to be continued.' I cannot WAIT to see what Adriane has in store for us in the next two parts, and am anxiously awaiting getting my hot little hands on them. Looking for a sexy, fast-paced, 'what in the world is going on here?!' read? Add this 4-star read to your TBR and settle in for the ride.

Excited for a new read from Adriane Leigh. This book has enough intrigue, seduction and mystery to get you lost between the pages. Hunter Ellis.....yes please!! Twists and turns with so much more to be revealed. Good thing there isn't long to wait for the next installment. Full review to follow
*****************************************
It seems like it’s been a while since I spent time with a novel that derives from the very naughty mind of an Adriane Leigh but let me tell you it was worth the wait! This book has enough intrigue, seduction and mystery to get you lost between the pages. Hunter Ellis.....yes please!! Twists and turns with so much more to be revealed.
Hunter Ellis is an intriguing, sexy and controlled man. He has his secrets it would appear and he is not interested in sharing. His photography is every erotic and you can tell that he receives much joy in capturing his subject.
Talk about night and day….. A chance encounter on the street sets Erin Warner in the path Hunter. When he offers her what appears to be a much needed job opportunity she jumps at the chance to be his PA. She is such a wallflower in comparison to Hunter, but he has stirred her curiosity and a bit more.
Seems as though we are just scratching the surface of both Hunter and Erin. With layers of secrets to be revealed and moments to be stolen. Will they escape the web of deception or get tangled in their own deceit?
Good thing there isn't long to wait for the next installment. Blindsight is the first of a 3 book serial from Adriane and I cannot wait to see where she takes this story.

I received an ARC in exchanged for an honest review.
I have been seeing Blindsight a lot on Facebook. I read the blurb and thought ”I can't wait to read this”. Blindsight by Adriane Leigh was definitely hot as hell and a suspenseful read. If you are not hooked by the first chapter then I am not sure what to say. I kept reading with the feeling of danger being on the next page. Suspenseful and mysterious was differently a selling point for me with this story. The author did an excellent job in keeping your mind racing.
Erin, the female lead in this story was a little too clingy for my liking. Even knowing what was happening around her, she chose to ignore a lot of things. I felt frustrated when it came to her a little. Erin meets Hunter on a chance encounter and gets offered a job with him. Something about her screams "a little crazy".
Hunter was very hot even though I though he was a little mysterious. He loved what he did professionally and seemed to love control in his life. Hunter was a dominant male and I loved that part about him. There are so many questions about what he is really into and why he fell for Erin.
Overall, well written story. Each chapter was truly something new. I have so many questions that I only hope would be answer with the next book. The ending of Blindsight had me swearing a lot. Way to leave me hanging Adriane. I can't wait for second part.
Good read!!!!

~*~ Obsessed by Books copy given in exchange for an honest review ~*~
"I did as I was told, without hesitation or second thought. I'd been waiting for the moment to finally feel Hunter buried inside of me. I'd dreamed of it..."
Who is Erin. That's what I was left with. Who is she? And after reading this short but gripping erotic thriller I think I may have been mislead...I have been wrapped up in the mysterious package that is Hunter that I haven't put any thought into Erin. She seemingly is a down in her luck job hunter, desperate to move out and make her own way in life. Yet she lives in a nice affluent area and we never meet the flat mate. She has a business meeting but quite by accident bumps into Hunter. From that one meeting things quickly spiral with Erin becoming a permanent feature in his life. Securing her role as his PA, she travels with him as he shoots erotic photography. Slowly unraveling the aura of secrets that surround him she learns of his tragic childhood and the family he now belongs to.
The beginning is a snap shot of something yet to happen and I want more. The ending is evil! What!?! oh my days when is the next one due out? I have no patience, I need to know! A gripping introduction to a series I feel has great potential and will go from strength to strength there are a lot of twists and characters that are yet to be explored but I'm eager to find out more.
A four star who is that girl read.
