COVER REVEAL: The Right Player by Kandi Steiner






Kandi Steiner has revealed the cover for The Right Player: A Sports Romance!
Releasing: September 24, 2020
Cover Photography: Perrywinkle Photography


I have a three date rule — but it’s not what you think.

See, I’ve been told I’m the “good time girl,” not the one you take home to Mom. And while that label stung at first, I’ve since embraced it — living the wild and free life and sticking to a three date max. That’s just enough time to have some fun and snuff out the possibility of catching feelings. And it’s been working for me for years…

Until Makoa Kumaka.

Sadly, he also has a three date rule — and it’s the exact opposite of mine. From the second I meet him, all I can think about is stripping down that six-foot-five Herculean hunk of a man. But like the gentleman I wish he wasn’t, he’s making me wait.

The more time we spend together, the more I feel those pesky emotions creeping in. I’m even tempted to trust him, but blame it on my past or my instincts, I can’t shake the feeling that he’s hiding something…

I’ve been playing the game forever, and no man has ever won my heart — which meant they never had the power to break it.

But maybe I just hadn’t met the right player.

Maybe I’ll wish I never did.

Kandi Steiner is a bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing "emotional rollercoaster" stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance -- in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you're a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she's your gal.

An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women's Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her "freedom of press." She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.

When Kandi isn't writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer and sweet wine -- not necessarily in that order.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: The One For Me by Corinne Michaels




Devney Maxwell has been my best friend since we were six years old, but she has no idea I’m in love with her.⁣⁣

Even when I’m on the road playing professional baseball, she’s my home—the only one I’ve ever known. But when I return to Sugarloaf to care for the family farm, I discover she’s trying to talk herself into a life with the wrong man … and I become desperate.⁣

It only takes a single, perfect kiss to change everything.⁣

I have six months to get it right with Devney—to convince her to leave this town and turn that kiss into forever.⁣

I aim to do just that as I spend my days coaching her nephew’s baseball team, fixing up the farm, and loving her with all I have. Finally, it seems like our relationship is secure and we’ll find a way to make it work.⁣

Then tragedy strikes ... changing her life forever. She’s needed here more than ever, but as for me—there’s no way I can stay.⁣

I know she’s the one for me, but I might have to let her go ...⁣

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.

Well hellooooo friends to romance trope! I love this trope. It's like catnip for me. In this case we have the third Arrowood brother, Sean, and his best friend, Devney. Sean has come back for his obligatory six month stay and while he's home, he is determined to win Devney's heart. This is totally a case of he has feelings for her and she has feelings for him, but neither are willing to admit it. Sean has his life as a professional baseball player and Devney is content with living at home, close to her loved ones. So of course it seems complicated and it's up to the both of them to figure things out. 

As I was reading this I thought to myself, "Huh, well I haven't cried yet, so maybe I can get away with this one" and then like two chapters later....BAM! For real y'all....I cried. Like a lot. Corinne loves to just rip our hearts out. Luckily she is really good at repairing what she injured. 

This book was a good addition to the Arrowood series and in it we get to see a familiar face as well as some names that readers will be familiar with. Now give me Jacob's story!

RELEASE BLITZ & 5 STAR REVIEW: That Swoony Feeling by Meghan Quinn






THAT SWOONY FEELING: by Meghan Quinn
Release Date: August 6th 
Genre: Romantic Comedy 
Add to Goodreads: https://bit.ly/2EoUZPv 





USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn brings more humor and heart with the fourth novel of her Getting Lucky series: a story about breaking curses and finally finding that swoony feeling.

I'm single . . . so single it's painful.

Yup, ladies, Brig Knightly--that's me--is still a lonely bachelor, stumbling through the streets of Port Snow, looking for the girl he's supposed to end up with.

That is until my brother, Rogan, presents me with the opportunity of a lifetime. The Summer of Love, a secret pen pal program in Port Snow is looking for applicants and I'm the perfect fit.

I couldn't sign up fast enough.

I found myself quickly falling in love with a pair of red lips at the bottom of a letter. Just like in the movies . . .

Life could not have been better, that was until I started hanging out with Ruth Barber. Starting a new business right next to my shop, I found myself gravitating toward her. Her smile, her humor . . . her tea sandwiches.

My attraction for Ruth came in full force, leaving me dazed, confused, and *ahem* excited.

As new feelings for two women come to a screeching halt, I have to figure out who to choose. But when I discover my pen pal is Ruth, it might be too late.

All I want in life is to experience that swoony feeling . . . but I think I might have just missed my chance.

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review

Gah! Brig and Ruth were EVERYTHING. Between Ruth having a crush on Brig for YEARS and Brig wanting to find love, these two seemed like a good pair and luckily for them, they had family and friends to push them in the right direction. 

Ruth has been in a funk since her parents passed away and Brig is still hung up on the Knightly brother curse. When Ruth gets a chance to expand her business, she finds herself working closely with Brig, despite her protests (the man doesn't take no for an answer). I loved how their friendship developed and the fact that they were writing letters back and forth as part of a secret pen pal program, made it much more interesting. 

Oh Brig. You are adorable, hilarious and dumb. So dumb. And I love ya for it. No, really. Throughout this series, you have been the one who made me laugh the most and I really wanted you to get your  happily ever after. I knew your book would be fantastic and I wasn't let down. I'm sad this series is over. I love the Knightly family and their crazy text message chains. They almost always made me laugh, especially when Jen would come in with her one liner that would just out all the boys in their place.

I'll miss you Knightly family!

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

To answer the question that I'm sure a lot of people are thinking: Talon is Nico and Sophie's son. Some day I will go back and read the Until series and then go right into the Until Her/Him series because ever time I read one of these books I have to jog my (terrible) memory about who is who, but that's besides the point. 

I loved Talon and Mia's first meeting. It was one of those "knight in shining armor" moments that grabbed my attention and even made me swoon a little. Like the rest of the Mayson men, Talon has no problem going after what he wants and what he wants is Mia. Mia, having moved to Tennessee to help her sister, she isn't looking for love, but quickly finds that Talon is hard to resist. 

I'm a sucker for a good series. I've been reading Reynolds' Until series since the beginning and I will definitely keep reading as long as she keeps putting them out. At this point I am finding that the books are a little predictable and formulaic, but I really don't care. I love the characters and I am a giant sucker for the "BOOM".
