Hail Mary by Kandi Steiner is now live!
Leo F*cking Hernandez.
North Boston University’s star running back, notorious bachelor, and number one on my people I would murder if I could get away with it list.
And now?
He’s my new roommate.
I used to think I loved him.
But that was before I hated him.
He doesn’t remember who I am, or how he made my life miserable for years. And before I unknowingly moved across the street from him, I couldn’t have cared less. I was living my life despite him and what happened that summer, chasing my dream of becoming a tattoo artist.
“The Pit,” as the university so gracefully nicknamed the house he lives in with three other football players, has served as nothing more than a pain in my ass and a constant reminder of the boy who broke my heart. Watching him parade his one-night-stands in and out of it never helped, either.
But with rent this cheap and so close to the tattoo shop, I’ve learned to ignore him — no matter how he’s tried to get under my skin.
At least, until this summer. Because when a water and mold disaster leaves me with no choice but to vacate my house, I have nowhere to go. And Leo Hernandez offers me a deal I can’t refuse.
Live at The Pit with him and the guys, free of charge, until my landlord fixes this mess.
Ignoring him was easy when I lived across the street, but in the same house, with him shirtless half the time and watching me with his cocky grin and searing gaze? It’s impossible.
Still, I have to try. I have to push him away, even when he makes it infuriatingly difficult to do so.
He’s broken my heart once.
I won't let him do it again.

My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
Having read the previous book, I knew that Mary did not like Leo, but I was not prepared for why she didn't like him. I won't give anything away, but it was definitely something I was not expecting and I was delightfully surprised.
The book begins with the story of why Mary dislikes Leo. We get a glimpse into both of their pasts and the truth doesn't come out until about halfway through the book. I was on pins and needles waiting for the truth to come out and when it finally did....whew!! That part of the book is so angsty and beautiful and I actually cried while reading it. Leo is a guy who feels his feelings and when he's with the right people, he has no problem showing it. And Mary is one of those people.
I loved Mary and Leo so much!! I am such a sucker for the grumpy/sunshine trope. Especially when the sunshine is the male character. Leo had to work very hard to gain Mary's trust and once he had it, he had to work to keep it.
This is easily my favorite book that I have read this year and my favorite of the series. And I know it's only February, but I have a feeling this book will hold that title for the rest of the year.
Kandi Steiner is an Amazon Top 5 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, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.
