This story is AWESOME!!!!! Once you start reading you will not want to stop. The best thing is it's complete. Great characters (Julia and Kris) It's one of my favorites. I would urge everyone to read. - Anonymous - Aug 7th, 2003   

*******Very Important Notice*********You have to, i mean you really have to read this story it is the sweetest love story. It has taken Dreams a freakin' long time to finish this, and it is a long one. Dreams has an incredible talent with words, and a hooolarious sense of humour. just read it cos you won't be sorry. - Stephanie - Aug 8th, 2003   

Can't even describe how much I love this story. I felt as though that I had to read this story until it was finished because it was tremendous. Can't wait for the sequel. It should be great as the first one. I would recommend , no , I would WANT everyone to read this story because it is worth the read! - Meg - Aug 19th, 2003   

For the romantics out there this story is for you. Dreams weaved a sweet, funny, wonderfully entertaining story. Once you started reading, you won't be able to put it down. Dreams is a very talented writer, it's no wonder this novel is in the process of being published. On a rating of 1 to 6, DEFINITELY a 6. This story gets my highest recommendation. - lucidusgirl - Nov 1st, 2003   

This is just f**king amazing, f**king amazing :) - Anonymous - Nov 7th, 2003   

I don't know what it is. Just kept on getting good and I really, absolutely, positively, did not want to stop reading. Don't want to use a cliche but "it glued me to my chair." Never, ever will get tired of reading this story. I think I can unglue my eyeballs form the screen now. - Meg - Nov 24th, 2003   

It's odd. I didn't want it to end; and what do you know, it really didn't end.It's kind of pitiful to get so wrapped up in a bunch of imaginary people; but I hope there is a sequel or something. Dreams wasn't kidding about all the steamy sex. Loved the characters and the humor. I felt stupid for laughing out loud all by my self; then I remembered that no one else was around, so I laughed louder. It took almost a day to get through it but I just couldn't stop reading. - Anonymous - Nov 25th, 2003   

Incredibly tender, touching story of two souls recognising each other through the distance. So real it breathes with life. Thank you, Dreams, give my love to your muse :o) - Katrina - Dec 1st, 2003   

I was in the middle of this story-which is great, when I came upon a broken link on page 26. Please HELP!!! - Anonymous - Dec 3rd, 2003   

This story was amazing! I found myself staying up all night to finish reading it and it was well worth it! I would love to see a sequel... actually, I'm dying to see a sequel! I highly recommend all of Dreams' work!! - Alicia - Dec 27th, 2003   

This story is for the true romantic and it's absolutely incredible. I really hope there's a sequel to this amazing story. - Insane/Crazy - Jun 20th, 2004   

please please please someone badger Dreams for a sequel!this is an excuisite story, the characters are so real, evryone should run, not walk to read this if you haven't yet! - polar - Jul 5th, 2004   

awsome story!!! very romantic, this story reminds me of the movie you got mail. hoping for a sequel!! - blazinangelwings - Nov 18th, 2004   

This is a CRACKING story and one you won't want to put down. I didn't ever want to finish it, but couldn't wait to get to the end. Please, please 'Dreams' do a sequel. - Sai - Jan 14th, 2005   

This story is fabulous - I didn't know it was finished and am unable to link beyond the first part. I have up to 63.3. Is there another link to finish this great tale? - memck - Jan 15th, 2005   

This is an excellent story. I loved the humor. The characters and story line are wonderful. The only thing that would make it better would be a sequel. - jh - Mar 25th, 2005   

What a delightful surprise this was! I was browsing around looking for something new to read and noticed it on the "Archives" page. Very sweet. Real characters. Good dialogue. Right blend of pathos and humor. I completely enjoyed it and it kept me turning the page. Well done! Hope there will be more about Kris and Julianne! - Gracie Albright - Mar 31st, 2005   

Best fiction ever read~ ^^ - fallen - Apr-28-2006   

This link is not working. The story can be still found on The Academy. - Anonymous - Sep-30-2006   

Great characters, awesome dialog!!! Really good read... I hope there's a sequel. - Anonymous - Oct-11-2006   

Without a doubt, one of the best I have ever read. I loved witnessing Julia emerge and ultimately blend with Julianne. And what lesbian hasn't at one time or another experienced the angst of unrequited love? I don't think we need a sequel however, I'd rather believe they just lived happily ever after LOL. Awesome job Dreams. Many thanks. - Tracy - Jan-14-2007   

This story is getting re-edited by the author on her site & the dialogue is even better. So far only 2 parts are re-worked. http://midnightisland.com/weblog/index.php/the-blind-side-of-love-v2-chapters-1-6/ - Kali - Apr-20-2007   

Excellent story. Amazingly believable characters. Simply great story-telling. Can't wait to see what comes next! - jd - May-05-2007   

I love this story. I started and finished it in one day. It is really romantic. Please, write a sequel one day. - s.happy - May-16-2007   

nice story, one of the best around here - Viridiana - May-20-2007   

AMAZING!!!! READ THIS STORY!!!

Oh and to awesome author, I ask you on behalf of anyone who has read your story......PLEASE write a sequel! Thanks - Kelz - Mar-21-2008   

good story but needs a continuence - Anonymous - Apr-01-2008   

Brilliant story...I read it until 7am, slept for 3 hrs then got up and read the rest because I couldn't stop dreaming about it....I've wasted the day away but it was well worth it. I'm gutted that it's finished, and I'll 'Dream' for a sequal LOL!!!! Julianne was very HOT too....mmmmmm..... - nexakill - Apr-09-2008   

OMIGOD! What a page turner this one is. I am on the last 30 pages and I DO NOT want this story to end!!! Witty, sharp writing, fantastic characters. Please, Please may I have some more in the way of a sequel?? With sugar on top?? - Anon - Apr-17-2008   

Nooooooo.... I just can't fanthom this being the end of the story. Please, please let there at least be a sequel in the making. Just a tiny glimpse of the future of these two...
such a wonderful piece of work! - lyneX - Apr-20-2008   

Seriously...one of the best stories I've read...and I've read a lot!! It kept me reading until I was literally holding my eyes open, just to read another page!! One of the most romantic and yet funniest stories. I couldn't stop myself from laughing out loud! Dreams definitely left me wanting more!! You have to read this...I'm sure I will again! - Chele - Apr-20-2008   

Good read. Definitely recommended. - Ape - Apr-21-2008   

You can't stop reading it! - HDA - Apr-23-2008   

Everyone should read this! - Lish - Apr-25-2008   

I adore this story, and have read it several times. It's funny and sweet and the characters (main and secondary) are engaging and lovable. Dialogue is excellent.
Definitely a recommended read - I'll give a warning however you might have trouble putting the book down once you start reading. :)

- K - Apr-25-2008   

A tip to everybody who loved this story: the author is currently rewriting it and it's becoming even better! Check her site: http://midnightisland.com. - Anonymous - Apr-28-2008   

A very enjoyable story. I hated to see it end and would really love to read a sequel. I was not able to stop reading; funny, warm, and insightful. - Wasabigirl - Apr-28-2008   

This is a very good story, the best I have read in a long time. Would recommend everyone read it. Can't wait for the re-written story. - Luvtigger71 - Apr-30-2008   

Ilove this story. Such great characters! I do hope that you make a sequel!!! - thao - Sep-09-2008   

A very good story, good plot and charaters. Love Julia. But....why does this have a spice index of 7? I would give it a 2 if even. Needs a spicy sequel! - Amanda - Jan-18-2009   

Excellent story, just begging for a sequal!! - Lynn - Feb-04-2009   

okay...we're all waiting here...Where's the next one?!! - Anonymous - Feb-14-2009   

Amazing, wonderful, emotional and witty. A sequel is a must! Please do not keep us waiting.
A must read! - xf - Feb-24-2009   

loved it-----more please!!! - Anonymous - Apr-23-2009   

This story gets my highest recommendation. - Anonymous - May-17-2009   

I just read this for the first time and I can not compliment the author enough on how wonderful this story was. It had me laughing like a school girl and my heart beating just like it did when I had my first crush. I will refrain from screaming sequel at the top of my lungs, but I do recommend this for anyone looking for a fun read. Also, you might want to read it when you have some time considering I could not stop long enough to sleep for more then four hours. - Rae - Jun-15-2009   

Really great story...would love to read more about these characters! - Ginger - Jun-20-2009   

It REALLY needs a sequel.
Funny, witty, beautifully slow paced, character development and really cute moments. A MUST READ. - Anonymous - Jun-23-2009   

I haven't been able to stop readint this story for 2 days! Finally finished and I LOVE it...I just wish there had been more...and um, well, er...sex would have been nice after all that waiting! But excellent story! Sequel? Please??? - Xenasgrrl - Aug-29-2009   

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THIS STORY IS AMAZING...AND WHEN I SAY AMAZING THAT EXACTLY WHAT IT IS...PLEASE OH PLEASE POST THE SEQUEL SOON - reaser - Sep-01-2009   

What a wonderful read. A slow one but still wonderful... It needs a little spice, I think, erm, a little sex after that slow development.. Sigh... I guess a sequel must be nice for us readers who were probably left hanging after this one. - Fan - Sep-03-2009   

Absolutely Fantastic Read - Loved it! - Texas_wild - Oct-31-2009   

definitely recommend the story, great read albeit a bit slow. - T - Nov-10-2009   

Extremely well written...earns my highest praise!!! Stayed up 'til midnight three nights in a row and survived on five hours of sleep the next day because I just could not put this down!! I love it when a story builds slowly and we agonize along with the characters. Blooming love and the sweet burn of desire should never be rushed. Just so much sweeter and rewarding in the end. This was perfect! - JC - Nov-24-2009   

This story is amazing. The main characters and the development of their relationship was wonderful, and the supporting cast was great too - often bringing their scenes a chuckle or two. I stayed up until 4am finishing this and the only regret I had was that there wasn't any more for me to read. Definitely recommended. - E.J. - Jul-09-2010   

WOW. The others were not kidding about being glued to the screen. I started reading this morning and couldn't tear my eyes away til midnight. A PHENOMENAL STORY!!!! - Jane - Jul-23-2010   

Synopsis: Julianne Franqui is a hot actress and secretly gay. On a trip to New York she sees the artwork of artist Kris Milano, whose talent is not the only thing she's attracted to. Undercover of email, she begins a correspondence with the artist . When she comes to New York for filming and finally meets her, will she tell Kris the truth ... all of it?

this is such a sweet love story. i had to stay up past my bedtime, into the wee hours of the morning just 'cause i had, had to finish it. - kc - Jul-25-2010   

**** SPOILER ALERT **** This is a great story. It is one of my favorite reads of all time. The ending however is less than satisfying. It ends so abruptly! Especially after the long buildup. Sequel anyone? Several loose ends. - Mindyd - Jul-30-2010   

If you like this one you should read the second version of it. You are gonna love it. It a bit more of a well rounded book go to;
http://community.livejournal.com/tbsol_v2/ - DalizC - Jul-31-2010   

make me wake up all night! cheers to that! but why i get access denied to read the version from LJ...i want to read moooooreeee - anon - Jul-31-2010   

Excellent story. Certain parts that touch all of us. I'm still trying to figure out what and who I wanna be when I grow up. - Anonymous - Aug-09-2010   

GOD I REALLY LOVED THIS STORY......
I really recommend this story.
ITS A MUST READ!!!
- SilentAngel - Aug-12-2010   

VERY GOOD STORY A MUST READ....MAY BE ANOTHER PART PLEASE ;) - DAMERE - Aug-21-2010   

Love this story. Great work. - sassy123 - Sep-26-2010   

There was more sex between the girl and her boyfriend. It's good, but needed some passion at the end. It didn't have to be graphic. Just...something. Still recommend reading it though. - Anonymous - Jan-16-2011   

I couldn't stop reading this story from the moment I started. Loved it! - Jaime - Feb-11-2011   

Such a beautiful story. Funny as hell, and yet so rich and intense. A must read! - UpsetLobster - Oct-02-2011   

lovely story.. the comparison to ross and rachel cracked me up.. there is some humor in the story, but not overly so to take anything away from the romantic side of it.. it is slow paced but that's refreshing in its own right.. i know the author is currently revising the story and the dialogues so it seems like the sequel might not be coming soon.. but i'm fairly certain one will be written since the ending is not a definite ending.. - xtra dog - Dec-05-2011   

A bit long, but definitely worth it. Wish there was a sequel. - Anonymous - Jan-18-2012   

i can count on one hand the amount of times an online fiction has made me laugh uncontrollably at my computer screen, and this one right here sure gave the others a run for their money :D
p.s. im sure quite a few of you out there could relate to this ;) Dani - Anonymous - Jan-20-2012   

oh my God...SPOILER ALERT ...i just had to stop reading and comment this line : the best advice i have ever heard is :"Okay, the first thing you do is go into the bathroom, turn on the shower as cold as it will go, and get under the stream and think about the girl. Repeat that process several times. Then, get your favorite picture of her, tape it to the wall, and then bang your head repeatedly while looking at it." :)):)):))
- braniac - Feb-23-2012   

beautiful story, great dialogue, funny characters, romance, wonderful plot, i couldn't put it down!...SPOILER ALERT...ok, this really needs a sequel! after all that 350 pages, i really wanted to read some sex scenes at the end, not necessarily graphical, but i feel like in the end they have all that passion that begs to lash out... i guees we have to wait for a sequel! please do one! - braniac - Feb-24-2012   

Amazing story, absolutely splendid. But this story deffo needs a sequel. Author please, do you hear me? I know it's been a long time but you can't let them get away without some more fun and an intimidating scene! PLEASE! :) Only one kiss? no way! - AW - May-16-2012   

That was wow! Incredible.That was one great blossoming of love story filled with tons of pent up sexual frustration.It was so well written that I sat all day reading it until my but was numb and when I got to the end I wanted it to keep going. Hell I'd loved to see a sequel. Great work Dreams!!! - uber goober - Sep-11-2012   

Here is a MUCH, MUCH better version of Blind Side of Love. The author calls it v2. Here's the link: http://midnightisland.com/journal/2011/11/18/the-blind-side-of-love-v2-pdf-file/

I hope the admin has time to update the link. This all-new version provides the much needed closure too. [EDITORS NOTE: Link updated.] - spyce - Sep-11-2012   

What an excellent story. Loved it. Charming, witty dialogue. Romance. Compelling characters. My only wish is the story continued.... Read and joy. Thank you Ingrid Diaz for sharing your imagination and talent with us. - Anonymous - Sep-15-2012   

This story was a delight to read. The witty dialogue and the loveable characters are enjoyable. I like the length of the story  the build-up is never rushed and everything gets its time to develop. This ranks high in my list of favorite online stories. - wt-ger - Nov-15-2012   

Exceptional! There is a part of me that wants a sequel so that I might read of the continued evolution of the characters and their story. However, all on its own, this piece was everything it should have been. - Anonymous - Nov-19-2012   

Spent the evening reading it (version 2, actually), and it was totally worth my time. Great one. - Anonymous - Nov-24-2012   

Found this Page by accident and read a lot of stories here since. But this is by far the best ever !!! Couldnt stop reading and loved every minute of it. Please, please, please let there be a sequel !!! - LeFreak - Nov-24-2012   

***Possible spoiler Alert***
I loved this work of writing and I had a hard time putting it down. My girlfriend wasn't happy with my obsession. Anyhoo, it was a great read but I must admit the ending felt a little rushed and I am still craving more stories about these two. Please keep writing! By the way, I love the feel of the "you've got mail" plot. - Katie of Ohio - Nov-26-2012   

Absolutely excellent! I loved the humor and playfullness between characters. The dialogue seemed perfectly natural... Not stunted or forced. I couldn't put it down! - Anonymous - Dec-08-2012   

I want to read the latest version, but I SOOOOO hate Adobe & PDF!! Has these huge margins, but Adobe doesn't consider them margins & thus they're not adjustable. Can't scroll text, just pages. Adobe SUX! Please, Please try Epub!! - Anon - Jan-30-2013   

Absolutely loved this story, I would have been happy if it went on another 400 pages! - Idgi - Feb-05-2013   

Great story. Well worth reading. Wish there would be even more. - M.E. - Feb-12-2013   

Excellent read! I spent an entire day reading it because I couldn't put it down. - Anonymous - Mar-09-2013   

Great story line. Needs some work on the aesthetics, namely punctuation; well worth reading. - TJBlueyes - Oct-09-2013   

Really good - Anonymous - Dec-21-2013   

This is amazing . My god I loved every page of this story I just wish it hadn't ended . I can only hope that there will be a sequel some time as it really does need one. Please please xx - SD - Aug-13-2015   

One of the best stories I have read on this site! Wish there was a sequel! - Jaime - Jun-21-2016
