4-4.5 stars!
Blindfolded Innocence is a book I've had on my kindle for YEARS. I decided to listen to the audio version this week and I loved it. This book took me out of my comfort zone. There were parts I wasn't happy with the hero (which is maybe the only reason it's not a 5) (view spoiler) but I have to say he really grew on me by the end I loved DeLuca! I think he's one of those characters you have to learn about completely before you can really start ...more

I'm sorry but if you put a raunchy image of a chick butt naked and covering her vagina their on the front of the book, THEN that book should at least have some sexual tension in the first ten chapters.
Was there?
No.

I got to learn a lot about her interning for a guy that wasn't the hero. I found out some tidbits about the hero which isn't even important.

Holy Mother-of-Endings that final scene was FUCKHOT!

Julia is an intern recently accepted into a renowned law firm. Unfortunately, she gets stuck interning for the guy specializing in boring corporate law and who notoriously works 80 hour work weeks. Her friend Todd gets to intern for the hot and very famous divorce attorney Brad De Luca. They won't put a female with Brad as he has a reputation of being a total man-whore. No mixing business with pleasure. Innocent Julia combined with predator ...more

4.5 not so innocent after all STARS

My very first Alessandra Torre book and it was goooooooooood. Surprising, witty, naughty and all around immensely satisfying.
From the first page I was pleasantly surprised by the cheeky writing style. It just speaks to me and felt very natural to read...almost like being in my own head. I'm the queen of witty comments, if you didn't know that already. ;P

I was completely hooked the first 20 percent of this story. I was enjoying the idea of our young intern and the forbidden whore law firm partner. When Brad DeLuca talks Julia into going to Vegas with him and their interaction began I didn't feel any true connection. It took me to the end of the story to decide whether or not I liked it.

There are rumors of all the partners and what they are like. She gets stuck with Mr. Work-a-holic but Julia is smart and driven and wants a good recommendation for law schools so she ...more

"What if what we're looking for is each other?"
I think the only reason why I decided to pick this one up is because Brad De Luca was mentioned in Hollywood Dirt.

Don't shoot!
I know a lot of you loved this book. And a lot of you loved De Luca. But I didn't..
In fact this book just hit one of my major pet peeves and that made me kinda mad.
Add to the fact that a law student from a middle class family, with student debt, has an insane amount of shoes and outfits from major brands, referenced her Inner Goddess(albeit only once), had a debate for her old self and new self, and that was enough for me not to like it much.

I just finished reading another one of Alessandra Torre's books in which Brad DeLuca's character played a small role as a divorce attorney. Let me clarify, his role may have been small but his presence was massive. I had to keep reminding myself who the main character was. To avoid spoilers, I usually wait until after finishing a book to read reviews and that's when I realized there is a whole series dedicated to DeLuca. Needless to say, I jumped right on him...um, I mean the books. I jumped

This was a reread for me (my original review for this edition:

When I first read this book back in August 2012, I wasn't aware that it was going to have a sequel/be part of the series. When I was finished, I was kind of left scratching my head because the ending seemed too abrupt and definitely left me wanting more.
I also didn't care for Julia [at all!] first time around so, after having finished books 2 and 3 in the series and becoming a fan of hers, I wanted to reread ...more

Dear Brad,
You are a dirty man and I like it! When I first saw you, I thought you were impossibly handsome and sex just oozed from your pores. After trying to resist, my lust conquered pragmatism and we had quite an enjoyable trip to Vegas. We gambled, I made new friend named Montana and did some other things. As you said to me, "When you do decide to let me f@ck your sweet little body, I will make you bad. Very bad." Point to Brad! Then you proposed an intriguing ...more

I admit, I bought this book for no other reason than the stare-at-me cover. It isn't a romance. Not in the traditional sense. If you aren't able to sympathize with the swinger lifestyle, if you hold tight to monogamous ideals, or if you consider yourself the jealous type, then you won't enjoy this book. To everyone else, don't pass this up. It's an intelligently-written sexy story with lots of law office drama. Even though Brad De LoveHimself is a self-absorbed, shallow prick with zero redeeming

I enjoy Alessandra Torre's bold, downright courageous writing style. Passion flares out at you from the written page - on a regular basis! It is a workout just keeping up with the sexual antics of Torres headstrong, lusty characters. Spoiler Alert: Bad-boy Brad "loves him a threesome." I am all for sexual freedom, especially among consenting adults.
