Liam is of age and Gabrielle is only a few years older and nothing actually happens while they are teacher/student.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Throughout the previous books, Liam has been the big mystery character for me. I obviously knew that something was up between these two and I couldn't wait to read their story. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Gabrielle has returned to town to deal with her grandmother's estate and she's been doing well when it comes to avoiding Liam, but eventually her luck runs out. Liam finally gets his chance with her and he takes it. For her, the only thing standing in their way is her worrying what people will say, but for Liam, he doesn't care. And I totally agreed with him! I actually found her reluctance kind of annoying at times. <br /><br />Liam goes all out to show Gabrielle just how important she is to him. His family accepts her pretty much instantly and since she comes from a very unsupportive family, it means a lot to her. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">I really enjoyed this book! It is super sweet, sexy (hello steamy bookstore sex!) and very emotional. So far it is my favorite of the series...at least for now.

And when we get snowed in with only one bed, we’re about to find out just how thin that line is.</i><br /><br />When I first met Callum Reed, I thought he was one of the most handsome men I’d ever seen.<br /><br />Until he opened his mouth and ruined it all.<br /><br />Because the sexy-as-sin man dressed in a tailor-made suit is trying to steal my ranch from me.<br /><br />Okay, technically, he’s trying to buy it from me, but I’d rather swallow a fruitcake whole than watch someone turn this beloved place into a bunch of timeshares for the rich, destroying Christmas at Holley Ridge.<br /><br />The problem is that Callum Reed doesn’t give up easily, not when he stands to make millions off this property. So instead of walking away with his proverbial tail between his legs, he books a room at my inn for the Christmas season.<br /><br />The last thing I need during this time of year is a modern-day Grinch staying here.<br /><br />So I concoct a plan. Flood Callum with a tidal wave of holiday cheer, hoping he’ll flee in the face of too much festivity.<br /><br />The last thing I expect is for him to actually enjoy himself.<br /><br />Or volunteer to dress up as Santa for a group of foster kids.<br /><br />Or help me in my last-ditch effort to save Holley Ridge.<br /><br />As I start to get a glimpse beneath his gruff exterior, I can’t help but wonder if maybe there's more to Callum Reed than meets the eye.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;

Now add the spice back in and you have an even better holiday story!</span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"> <br />Callum wasnt the grumpiest character I've ever read, but he had some feelings about Christmas that definitely put him in the Grinch category. And Parker's idea to get him to leave Holley Ridge, which is basically to bombard him with Christmas, seems like a genius idea, but it course backfires in the most spectacular (and sexy) way. <br /><br />Callum and Parker were adorable together and once Callum broke away from his bah humbug spirit, I couldn't help but love him. The author managed to include multiple tropes without slowing the story down and it just made the story really enjoyable. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br />I love a small town romance and I liked this one a lot.

Or it would have been, if my brother’s best friend didn’t return for his first festive season in our hometown in almost four years.<br /><br />Why did Mercer Russell stay away in the first place? Oh, well that would be because I broke his heart. High school sweethearts never last, or so they say, so I destroyed us before long distance and university drama ever could.<br /><br />Now that the soccer star destined for one of the best professional teams in the country is home for one last holiday hoorah, it’s clear I’m still on his naughty list … and not in the good way. Between hauling Douglas firs, helping families select their perfect tree, and assisting my mom on the register, Mercer hasn’t lost any love for those he grew up with. Except I might as well be a lump of coal with the way he glowers at me.<br /><br />With the past lurking around every corner and our futures uncertain, giving into the burning attraction that could torch a row of spruces would be the worst idea ever. Then again, a fling under the mistletoe might be just the closure we need to extinguish this spark for good.<br /><br />After all, it would take flying sleigh-level magic to turn a cuffing season hookup into a healing happily ever after … right?</span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Read it now in KU: <a href="http://mybook.to/WinterBreakUp">mybook.to/WinterBreakUp</a> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/199274323-winter-break-up">Goodreads</a></div></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjexZ-FpG9jRYrVyuMEUTzB6X8lILQadyqvNZto7uzzcfjpUuZgYbCkVIi6Fzi2CVhHK9RVp9VSLoZr3sh8gYUsgr0bhNL6Ny1f-1bqsv_eJVE-Y2rvOjzUc3K_hW452SkFf6-ozpjAawJY7rFGwnuIkaGSykumlhL201_dIgS8Dwh0lIM5Q6MeLaPuwkeZ/s1080/WBU%20-%20AN%20IG.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjexZ-FpG9jRYrVyuMEUTzB6X8lILQadyqvNZto7uzzcfjpUuZgYbCkVIi6Fzi2CVhHK9RVp9VSLoZr3sh8gYUsgr0bhNL6Ny1f-1bqsv_eJVE-Y2rvOjzUc3K_hW452SkFf6-ozpjAawJY7rFGwnuIkaGSykumlhL201_dIgS8Dwh0lIM5Q6MeLaPuwkeZ/s320/WBU%20-%20AN%20IG.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeP5RzU-b5sj-C619j7fP4qITVnbTb9tdMGCe3GDXUyTidH1UwuSJCpHoJxNCcC68Pl8U4FzPImG8q88oW_MmKtWhAqhjVn3fg7xC9fbtJjpEJazdDxV1DXtL8A5_QUkT4O7tyvhB2MlP3B2l4mI2QySag_KroxM4Ha48rBlhyUz8puP0-jnfJtCB-ahoC/s3000/4-stars.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="3000" height="47" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeP5RzU-b5sj-C619j7fP4qITVnbTb9tdMGCe3GDXUyTidH1UwuSJCpHoJxNCcC68Pl8U4FzPImG8q88oW_MmKtWhAqhjVn3fg7xC9fbtJjpEJazdDxV1DXtL8A5_QUkT4O7tyvhB2MlP3B2l4mI2QySag_KroxM4Ha48rBlhyUz8puP0-jnfJtCB-ahoC/w200-h47/4-stars.png" width="200" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b><u>My Review</u></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><i>I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.</i> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Mercer and Emily were high school sweethearts and Emily thought it best that they break up when it was time for college.

He was the one my brother assigned to keep me safe—and I had far too much fun tempting him to be the one to put me in danger.<br /><br />It was just one night of tip-toeing the line, of teasing and flirting and messing around knowing nothing would ever come of it.<br /><br />But when the universe throws me back into his lap two weeks later and we end up on a secret road trip together, all bets are off.<br /><br />I can’t help but touch him. I can’t help but pray for him to touch me. And I can’t resist the temptation to test him at every turn.<br /><br />Jaxson is smart and doesn’t have a death wish. So, like a gentleman, he keeps his hands to himself… the jerk.<br /><br />But the closer we get on the road and the farther we get from reality, the less those warning signs from my brother seem to deter him.<br /><br />When we started this road trip, we set a boundary. We promised to keep all arms and legs safely in the friend zone.<br /><br />Now, miles and miles away from all the reasons we shouldn’t, all I can hear is my heart thumping out the resounding reason we should.<br /><br />And the way those heated blue eyes watch me, I know I’m not the only one.<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">___________________________________________</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">TROPES:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Pro Hockey Romance</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Teammate’s Little Sister/Brother’s Best Friend</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Road Trip</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Forced Proximity</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">One Bed</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Age Gap</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Opposites Attract</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Forbidden</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">___________________________________________</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><i><b>Watch Your Mouth is book two in the Kings of the Ice series: a series of interconnected standalones following a team of professional hockey players and the women who bring them to their knees.

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.<br /><br />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.” <br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.</span><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Kandi Steiner may be coming to a city near you!

Veering from her expected path to follow crazy dreams, like opening her own shop, not only isn’t in the cards, it’s also not taken seriously. So when her best friend, the ex-high school quarterback with a smile of gold and a traumatic past, proposes marriage out of the blue after years of Alana not-so-secretly pining after him, the answer isn’t an automatic no.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; margin: 0px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; margin: 0px;" /><span style="color: #1e1915;">Marrying him, and the fortune they’ll both inherit if she specifically says I do, could be just the thing to set her vision in motion. But can she keep their decades-long relationship strictly business, or will those long unrequited feelings fool her into thinking this union will be for life?</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; margin: 0px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; margin: 0px;" /><span style="color: #1e1915;">Warren Teal is the orphan no one wanted but everyone speculated about.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; margin: 0px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; margin: 0px;" /><span style="color: #1e1915;">After his father tragically took his mother from him, Warren’s story has been broadcast in the media for years. Cue the Ashtons, who took him under their wings the first time Alana brought him home in middle school. Years later, Hope Crest’s royal family offered him a job at their renowned restaurant, and Warren thought he’d found the quiet, under-the-radar life he’d always been searching for.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; margin: 0px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; margin: 0px;" /><span style="color: #1e1915;">Until the day he received a letter leaving him a fortune. There was just one catch; he must marry to receive it. And not just anyone, but the gorgeous, stubborn woman he’d always loved in secret but never felt worthy of. Knowing he could return the favor and grant her wildest dreams, he popped the question.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; margin: 0px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; margin: 0px;" /><span style="color: #1e1915;">But when his past comes for the future they’re building, she gets caught in the crossfires of the danger and darkness meant for him. Divorce, and breaking his own heart, seem like the only options to keep her safe.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915; margin: 0px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1e1915;

He must marry his best friend, Alana, first. The two have always </span></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">harbored feelings for the other person, but they value their friendship too much to do anything about it. When Warren goes to Alana with his dilemma, she has no problem helping him out.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">At the start of the book, Alana and Warren are working through something. They haven't spoken in a while and they definitely miss each other. Once they are married and living in the same house, they have to face not only their feelings for each other, but what they really want out of this relationship, especially since they have to stay married for five years!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes and then throw in a marriage of convenience and you got yourself a great book! I loved Alana and Warren's friendship so much and it was wonderful to watch them grow into their marriage and finally give in to their feelings. The author is so good at writing small town romances and I just love the Ashton family so much! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><i>CW: Murder a parent (off page), death of a loved one </i></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7h8VDXhLJPCNzSZcziViTiSEAEs2nyFtOveW2-4fqBQukg_nFO7L3IBACR3zSPGu0_fb6ZB10DrMBqf-6mTnAcCm7Ow-6dIKealk2gGVhBtsvQakqCRsjrS0ejI-HOJSSxMT5kaZpFQVanISTzkU_9N0xbJnhKRSp0bh-U9fxfR5bDGkM2phNw8VPE_07/s1080/Honeyed%20-%20AN%20IG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7h8VDXhLJPCNzSZcziViTiSEAEs2nyFtOveW2-4fqBQukg_nFO7L3IBACR3zSPGu0_fb6ZB10DrMBqf-6mTnAcCm7Ow-6dIKealk2gGVhBtsvQakqCRsjrS0ejI-HOJSSxMT5kaZpFQVanISTzkU_9N0xbJnhKRSp0bh-U9fxfR5bDGkM2phNw8VPE_07/s320/Honeyed%20-%20AN%20IG.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"><br /></span></span></div>Kimmy Loves to Readhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15875317519405162439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238291098453321388.post-81699860907793652062023-09-27T21:18:00.000-04:002023-09-27T21:18:01.119-04:004 STAR REVIEW: She Was Made for Me by Jenn Morris <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_tsbiq_3BVZZZ_fUPRH47znm7o6ekg5-TsPfdwsdbEjkIqpcEa8tpx8gDKBMr-HNhe5SFWKxqJyf178LXDcEFx2LFYhiYMnWiIyQ0Ohyphenhyphen1jgxpZCYpfIuCfTVm9w8eVjyxK8R22coNzODkNbfLW8sRvCn-4iZQo4SO8qeDhwUq2dqptK2BT_lcXPHJCaCF/s1947/SWMFM%20paperback.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1947" data-original-width="1480" height="429" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_tsbiq_3BVZZZ_fUPRH47znm7o6ekg5-TsPfdwsdbEjkIqpcEa8tpx8gDKBMr-HNhe5SFWKxqJyf178LXDcEFx2LFYhiYMnWiIyQ0Ohyphenhyphen1jgxpZCYpfIuCfTVm9w8eVjyxK8R22coNzODkNbfLW8sRvCn-4iZQo4SO8qeDhwUq2dqptK2BT_lcXPHJCaCF/w326-h429/SWMFM%20paperback.png" width="326" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /> </span><span style="caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111; font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large; font-weight: 700; text-align: left;">Sparks fly as a reclusive carpenter and a workaholic project manager fight their forbidden attraction in this steamy romance about finding that all-important work/life balance.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111; font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111; margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;"><span class="a-text-bold" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700 !important;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Violet</span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(15, 17, 17); color: #0f1111; margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I never meant to lie to my parents about my job—I only wanted to make them proud.

Of course, they aren’t aware that I’ve already met Vince Cool at an all-star gala — and that we were at each other’s throats the entire time. <br /><br />It doesn’t matter that he’s the kind of hot that shows God has favorites — messy brown hair, heated hazel eyes, the smirk of a rockstar, and a scar over his eyebrow that makes every woman particularly feral. <br /><br />He’s a rich, cocky playboy — a brand I’m all too familiar with, and one I’m determined to never be around again. <br /><br />But after my coverage of the gala stirs up buzz, the team’s General Manager and my CEO strike a deal. To help fill the arena at home games, I’ll get up close and personal with Tampa’s new shiny toy. Whether he’s at practice, playing in a game, partying, or drinking coffee half-naked in his condo — I’ll be there for all of it. <br /><br />Vince gets under my skin like no one else. It isn’t long before that paper-thin line between hate and lust blurs, and being around him every waking minute of the day leaves no chance to escape his devilish stare. <br /><br />The air crackles between us. The tension is hot enough to melt my inhibitions. <br /><br />But I know the way this story ends. I’ve lived it once before. <br /><br />As much as I work to guard my heart, my body is a traitor — and if this man puts his hands on me, I know I’ll submit to desire. <br /><br />I thought one month with Vince Tanev was a game I could win easily. <br /><br />But I might have just met my match. <br /> <br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Download today or read for FREE with Kindle Unlimited </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Amazon:<a href="https://amzn.to/3pfSYwg"> https://amzn.to/3pfSYwg</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Amazon Worldwide:<a href="https://mybook.to/MeetYourMatch"> https://mybook.to/MeetYourMatch</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Audible: <a href="https://bit.ly/3rgm1B2">https://bit.ly/3rgm1B2</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Narrated by: Edward Black & Megan Wicks </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Add to Goodreads:<a href="https://bit.ly/44zTbuI"> https://bit.ly/44zTbuI</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5Z41u3YjFXCmmrNQj21-7QlyXRIUL55o7-jK-84HiiR5_H2pFn2tOLvgCeb-jqV8XA3WlE5fGV0yzMRZxiA1gdB60Vfq2H3TzSZY0q-G1eu2cKRkgo0DtFhk1lX1z8jnl52dwKoNT_uqZEwXfLqvY5qmq3bFofPYd1ZGxTLhwVl9y2ixDQx3iGx2NQAer/s3000/4-stars.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="3000" height="61" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5Z41u3YjFXCmmrNQj21-7QlyXRIUL55o7-jK-84HiiR5_H2pFn2tOLvgCeb-jqV8XA3WlE5fGV0yzMRZxiA1gdB60Vfq2H3TzSZY0q-G1eu2cKRkgo0DtFhk1lX1z8jnl52dwKoNT_uqZEwXfLqvY5qmq3bFofPYd1ZGxTLhwVl9y2ixDQx3iGx2NQAer/w259-h61/4-stars.png" width="259" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b><u>My Review</u></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><i>I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. </i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">It took me a bit to get into this book.

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. <br /><br />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.” <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Connect with Kandi</b> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Website: <a href="http://www.kandisteiner.com">www.kandisteiner.com</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Goodreads: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7319216.Kandi_Steiner">https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7319216.Kandi_Steiner</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Amazon: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kandi-Steiner/e/B00JDJOINE">https://www.amazon.com/Kandi-Steiner/e/B00JDJOINE</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KandiSteiner/">https://www.facebook.com/KandiSteiner/</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Facebook Group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/kandilandks/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/kandilandks/</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kandisteiner/">https://www.instagram.com/kandisteiner/</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/KandiSteiner">https://twitter.com/KandiSteiner</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Bookbub: <a href="https://www.bookbub.com/authors/kandi-steiner">https://www.bookbub.com/authors/kandi-steiner</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Verve: <a href="https://ververomance.com/app/kandisteiner">https://ververomance.com/app/kandisteiner</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@authorkandisteiner">https://www.tiktok.com/@authorkandisteiner</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Pinterest: <a href="http://pinterest.com/authorkandisteiner">pinterest.com/authorkandisteiner</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Kandi Steiner may be coming to a city near you!

But once the world famous actress gets the call that her estranged father has passed, and his only living relative will need to settle his estate, she finds herself back in the small town that sent her running once upon a time.<br /><br />Little do her dilapidated childhood home and her father’s affairs know, Cassandra was in need of a project exactly like this to distract from the glamorous life she no longer wants or recognizes. That is, until she bumps into the man whose family is considered Main Street royalty.<br /><br />Patrick Ashton is the boy next door, a Hope Crest celebrity, and one of the heirs to the most famous restaurants on the East Coast. He has no problem reminding her just how much the town hated her old man … and in turn her for sharing his last name. But when he realizes she’s going to sell the land their two families have fought over for decades, Patrick might have to change his tune.<br /><br />As he begins scheming to charm the woman the entire country wants to be or be with, she can’t deny the spark of chemistry between them still exists after all these years. The one that simmered in the shared woods behind their homes where no one else could see.<br /><br />And when the danger that sent her fleeing as a teenager returns to seek revenge, she finds Patrick genuinely in her corner, despite his family’s objections. In the place she swore never to return, she might have just found the love and life she was searching for.<br /><br />Except old wounds and unsettled scores might not let her keep it.</span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Read it now in KU: <a href="http://mybook.to/ReadBittersweet">mybook.to/ReadBittersweet</a><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="goog_1799505348"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/156341039-bittersweet"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Goodreads</span></a></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDD6PSXX5cVumfvRASKHEA3evD83b9MuKtZnQjwbg0RpAKAfb5FQ8yhnt8Ml42YAlHtZMbjvgyvhD5MTgtzRBFHFTm_XFycxlIXZoyQH4ukXYp-4PC07Xo7ZnjBI8NpYWOWiMXua4yMom6pyWCFuvpfn98hfgTMnHIZ74NCBFh26Y7lk0kvYWQiuur7meQ/s1080/Bittersweet%20-%20AN%20Teaser.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDD6PSXX5cVumfvRASKHEA3evD83b9MuKtZnQjwbg0RpAKAfb5FQ8yhnt8Ml42YAlHtZMbjvgyvhD5MTgtzRBFHFTm_XFycxlIXZoyQH4ukXYp-4PC07Xo7ZnjBI8NpYWOWiMXua4yMom6pyWCFuvpfn98hfgTMnHIZ74NCBFh26Y7lk0kvYWQiuur7meQ/s320/Bittersweet%20-%20AN%20Teaser.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJKHVFgTKjauUPtJ7vEQYR31osJbg6rLWSsXjzizGdczfRmnnZQrXN15NmMfxLx_hOsS-rQq9Gg5opagpbUt2dnxfgJrM9FjeQdE7V8LuiVHJ43z4mlct2Er-4mIKDgBrFGM15Px2LKe5yjwvtScacmJe-nhN5bvpEi5ArfqiBmckogdGLoBGLYyPgp-3U/s3000/4-stars.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="3000" height="61" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJKHVFgTKjauUPtJ7vEQYR31osJbg6rLWSsXjzizGdczfRmnnZQrXN15NmMfxLx_hOsS-rQq9Gg5opagpbUt2dnxfgJrM9FjeQdE7V8LuiVHJ43z4mlct2Er-4mIKDgBrFGM15Px2LKe5yjwvtScacmJe-nhN5bvpEi5ArfqiBmckogdGLoBGLYyPgp-3U/w262-h61/4-stars.png" width="262" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b><u>My Review</u></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><i>I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. </i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Cassandra has returned to a town where she didn't stay long, but definitely made an impression.

Keith’s spirit and laughter are kept alive through our efforts to increase awareness about mental illness and to raise money for education and imperative research. Keith often struggled with society’s perception of mental illness. Our hope is that by having the strength to say that Keith was “Bipolar” we can strip away the stigma and help others to be more open about their disease. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><a href="https://youtu.be/QUZcA3L_ybk">Watch</a> to learn more about the Milano Sprung Family’s mission

You know, the kind of celebrity who doesn’t require a last name because they’re that prolific.<br /><br />Along with being one of my favorite artists, the notoriously private man has never given an interview in his twenty-year career, so this piece could make mine. Unfortunately, from the minute I step foot on his massive Texas compound, Dane is determined to break it.<br /><br />Between his icy stares, lewd gestures, and mocking comments, the one week time table to ask him my questions comes and goes with zero answers. But for some reason, he won’t pull out of the article. And when he insists I move into his guest house in order to observe him, since he refuses to sit down one-on-one, I have no choice but to suck it up for my job.<br /><br />After the year I’ve had, and the outside world I no longer want any part of, the seclusion is almost welcome. That is, if it didn’t include a sexy recluse who seems hellbent on messing with me. Working with someone I despise wouldn’t be so hard if it meant going home at the end of the day.<br /><br />From his checkered past, to the rumors about his love life, to the fact that he vanished from the music scene five years ago, to the teenage daughter he’s raised as a single father her entire life … there is so much to unpack in order to learn the truth about the man buried beneath the ink covering his skin.<br /><br />But the real danger comes when Dane drops the curtain completely, allowing me to see every side of him. Because it makes me want to show him every damaged part of myself.<br /><br />Except two such opposite, but equally broken, people can never find a happily ever after. Especially since a villain has no heart. So what do I do when the fallen hero I can’t have wants to give me his?<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">READ IT NOW IN KU: <a href="http://mybook.to/MtHGF">mybook.to/MtHGF</a></div></span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEGUg6ExV-6-v4Y-47FHVkBK9jFKq2lurc52FzR8WeO2TwdFfPdvbkOtjmRrKDxHjVZs0HEJZBsRYq0UxFLRHdfayF-3VXQRCMGocA2KXIY2zF4gO3AN3CnK7yg2bNkJvXesK69ahIHVBsz3quC4ggzZWyk91XAotpLg3Pn9WCEmPhS9yA_YqrgLTamA/s1080/MTHGF%20-%20AN%20IG.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEGUg6ExV-6-v4Y-47FHVkBK9jFKq2lurc52FzR8WeO2TwdFfPdvbkOtjmRrKDxHjVZs0HEJZBsRYq0UxFLRHdfayF-3VXQRCMGocA2KXIY2zF4gO3AN3CnK7yg2bNkJvXesK69ahIHVBsz3quC4ggzZWyk91XAotpLg3Pn9WCEmPhS9yA_YqrgLTamA/s320/MTHGF%20-%20AN%20IG.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0FD8kbsukKUX3r14W1unXLqqtQGKBo11uzAIRNil2ZQelKAz_JhbX_DggvSrLY6FLMji1MojyRp2qr9ncWyMnakK94yR4aD105XUsC2NAqM8JV-VIQ_ZIR2B8JK9zm8X_DUyF-dnIEmRGNz6H3TEDL0QI_smCCsuCqFp4njqq3P7VHCa8OZ62ANU9CA/s3000/4-stars.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="3000" height="47" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0FD8kbsukKUX3r14W1unXLqqtQGKBo11uzAIRNil2ZQelKAz_JhbX_DggvSrLY6FLMji1MojyRp2qr9ncWyMnakK94yR4aD105XUsC2NAqM8JV-VIQ_ZIR2B8JK9zm8X_DUyF-dnIEmRGNz6H3TEDL0QI_smCCsuCqFp4njqq3P7VHCa8OZ62ANU9CA/w200-h47/4-stars.png" width="200" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /><b>My Review</b></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><i>I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. </i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The author teased us with Dane in her book "<i>Say You Love Me Again</i>" and I was definitely intrigued, so I am glad that we are getting his story. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Dane may be very famous musician, but he is also somewhat of a recluse.

That night when we crossed paths at a college party, we only had one goal: to feel good during our hell storms. <br /><br />After we parted ways, I’d planned never to see him again. That was until I showed up for my first day as a student-teacher and found him sitting right there before me. Now I was forced to cross paths with the person meant to be nothing more than a fading memory. <br /><br />The more time we spent together, the more drawn I felt toward him. When his world shifted for the worst, I couldn’t help but to lean in closer. <br /><br />I’d always done the right thing. For the first time ever, I wanted to do something very wrong. I wanted to fall in love with the one person who was off-limits. <br /><br />The problem with falling for something forbidden?

Ask me how I know… <br /><br />I used to be a normal wife and mother with a perfectly happy life. Now I’m a divorced single mom who spent a night in jail after breaking into the hair salon my ex’s mistress owns. <br /><br />What can I say? Not my proudest moment. <br /><br />The only bright spot in that fiasco was the police officer who offered me a sexy, broad shoulder to cry on. William Bronson was a knight in shining armor. A romance novel hero in the flesh. <br /><br />Then I showed up for work the next day and realized I’d be in charge of planning his fairy tale wedding…to someone else. <br /><br />And that was just the start of my troubles—romantically and legally (don’t ask). <br /><br />Now, I need to learn how to navigate my new reality and start building my own happily ever after. I have no idea if it will all end in love…or heartache. All I know for sure is that it’ll be complicated. <br /><br /> <br /><div style="text-align: center;">Grab your copy today: <a href="https://mybook.to/Loveitscomplicated">https://mybook.to/Loveitscomplicated</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Add to your Goodreads TBR:<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/75490053-love-it-s-complicated"> </a><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/75490053-love-it-s-complicated">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/75490053-love-it-s-complicated</a></div><br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw_pgDuA5trxRwwO4iI2jkfEykYE4VNqSHqLfTT7tukg98v1JoypB8avznvnvI8PW7LliX9EWc2VUaTi06nMBuHsoZYQ61DHYeBfWKicJeok02kkAiBlyYYVLEFchGBoyAB6EVVf1x7jjfBT8lYKW1q7r_PBgOQBHmGqmEwxkfQpnIATO8X7nb2dzzKg/s2833/LIC_teaser3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2833" data-original-width="2768" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw_pgDuA5trxRwwO4iI2jkfEykYE4VNqSHqLfTT7tukg98v1JoypB8avznvnvI8PW7LliX9EWc2VUaTi06nMBuHsoZYQ61DHYeBfWKicJeok02kkAiBlyYYVLEFchGBoyAB6EVVf1x7jjfBT8lYKW1q7r_PBgOQBHmGqmEwxkfQpnIATO8X7nb2dzzKg/s320/LIC_teaser3.jpg" width="313" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcpLhZAMhaREG8cE1o9rlCrWgogJwZG_vKSEf-J0129k44zmEtZiRNwbnFtzpu0GXj0rMTKuRIT1NTUxolutOQi6EbhlKFVcth71yh5GAC9iZ0Tj022LO-8JJd3GsoebmjUo0cyKA5SGuaM2Rqj4x2Pie2xleoSCczxiAfGLMMBh_aSFGBV6wXnjaOyg/s3000/4-stars.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="3000" height="55" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcpLhZAMhaREG8cE1o9rlCrWgogJwZG_vKSEf-J0129k44zmEtZiRNwbnFtzpu0GXj0rMTKuRIT1NTUxolutOQi6EbhlKFVcth71yh5GAC9iZ0Tj022LO-8JJd3GsoebmjUo0cyKA5SGuaM2Rqj4x2Pie2xleoSCczxiAfGLMMBh_aSFGBV6wXnjaOyg/w237-h55/4-stars.png" width="237" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b><u>My Review</u></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><i>I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. </i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Melissa is a bit of a hot mess.

Did I mention that the famous musician headlining it is the ex-husband who walked out on you?<br /><br />When I met Levi Truin, we were young, rich, famous, and beautiful. Nothing could go wrong, we had the world at our fingertips. Except millions of dollars, marriage and a baby all before twenty two isn’t all fun and games. And when my indiscretion caused it to come crashing down, we were just another Hollywood couple on the cutting room floor.<br /><br />Seven years later, Levi and I are the poster-children for exemplary co-parenting. Attending red carpet events in support of each other, Sunday night dinners for the sake of our daughter, and her private school functions where we save seats and make polite conversation. The articles paint us in the healthiest of lights, because none of them know the truth.<br /><br />So when he wants to take our daughter on tour, I have a decision to make. Let her traipse around venues with a nanny, or tag along and somehow survive sleeping in a bunk below my ex for months.<br /><br />We go on the road, taking our demons and heartbreaks with us. And as we spend nights together with the highway lights flashing past the windows, that familiar spark reignites. Old hurts are discussed, wounds I guard tight are exposed, and my ex-husband makes confessions I’ve been waiting years for. Against all odds, he might just be able to love me again.<br /><br />But then the dirty details of our long ago breakup get leaked to the press, and the newly fledgling relationship might be doomed from the start.<br /><br />Lies, silence, and miscommunication are the things that ripped us apart. Can we push past our scars to reunite our family after everything we’ve been through?</span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">Read it now, free in KU: <a href="http://mybook.to/SayYouLoveMeAgain">mybook.to/SayYouLoveMeAgain</a></div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/75674963-say-you-love-me-again">Goodreads</a><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQngGGRsp8wMNhpbOGr3EqmhDQVNX-5QIcMKxyaLXPU_ZisdmkIXhZnobgSCsR5jNMQKWBr8c1wbKM36F9IYxWBLQxrF8QtWdqyuioactSI7ClISJ-5zpqXJqJGxRhEeV2390nZD6E4sU0tPKjh4JGqlxJ09BiZ7Au0UYS5MF0nD-by264se3jxfC6Cw/s1080/Copy%20of%20Copy%20of%20available%20(Instagram%20Post%20(Square))%20(2).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQngGGRsp8wMNhpbOGr3EqmhDQVNX-5QIcMKxyaLXPU_ZisdmkIXhZnobgSCsR5jNMQKWBr8c1wbKM36F9IYxWBLQxrF8QtWdqyuioactSI7ClISJ-5zpqXJqJGxRhEeV2390nZD6E4sU0tPKjh4JGqlxJ09BiZ7Au0UYS5MF0nD-by264se3jxfC6Cw/s320/Copy%20of%20Copy%20of%20available%20(Instagram%20Post%20(Square))%20(2).png" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOdH0sRsuVef4ClJ59GNPnEwnEhS4DEOYx17WuTIdhTRMXoKZns5hdFoXxwsXHWMA1zTP4oK47paLgrSmIHS_Bk9ydlSKb2JPE5msLyDWy7OL2Rav8SuME6NffZ9ogthY6hIjeolWXjJEiHnhMX_PwH8H9i76KuO7-xJuqJTEpHB4wxeimMtyR00EA2w/s3000/4-stars.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="3000" height="60" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOdH0sRsuVef4ClJ59GNPnEwnEhS4DEOYx17WuTIdhTRMXoKZns5hdFoXxwsXHWMA1zTP4oK47paLgrSmIHS_Bk9ydlSKb2JPE5msLyDWy7OL2Rav8SuME6NffZ9ogthY6hIjeolWXjJEiHnhMX_PwH8H9i76KuO7-xJuqJTEpHB4wxeimMtyR00EA2w/w253-h60/4-stars.png" width="253" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b><u>My Review</u></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><i>I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. </i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I've always been a fan of second chance romances and this is an excellent one.

It was very obvious that they still loved each other, but they had a lot of stuff to work through. Them being on the road and living in close quarters was probably the best thing that could have happened.

When you're second in line to the throne, it's just how things are. I've always gone along with it.<br /><br />Until now.<br /><br />I may not have a say in who I marry, but I refuse to let someone dictate who I give my v-card to.<br /><br />So I offer it to the only man I trust not to go to the paparazzi.<br /><br />Creed Lawson.<br />Body of an Adonis.<br />Strength of a warrior.<br />And my brother's best friend.<br /><br />It was only supposed to be one night.

About ignoring our duty and following our hearts.<br /><br />But when the consequences of our secret tryst become much more dangerous than either of us originally bargained for, can I find the courage to fight for what I want? Or will I always remain a pawn in the palace's deadly game?</span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"> <br /><div style="text-align: center;">US: <a href="https://amzn.to/3JttELm">https://amzn.to/3JttELm</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">UK: <a href="https://amzn.to/3XV8tGG">https://amzn.to/3XV8tGG</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">CA: <a href="https://amzn.to/3XPHThT">https://amzn.to/3XPHThT</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">AU: <a href="https://amzn.to/3WTrjN1">https://amzn.to/3WTrjN1</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">B&N: <a href="https://bit.ly/3HM5IBV">https://bit.ly/3HM5IBV</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Kobo: <a href="https://bit.ly/3jkmiPO">https://bit.ly/3jkmiPO</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Apple Books: <a href="https://apple.co/3Y6h9cK">https://apple.co/3Y6h9cK</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Universal: <a href="https://geni.us/wKTs9JC">https://geni.us/wKTs9JC</a></div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;

text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I love a good forbidden romance, no matter what the "forbidden" reason is. In this case, Esme is royalty and Creed is not. Seems pretty simple...or is it? </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Of course (of course!) things get complicated when Esme and Creed start their tryst. They do that thing where they promise to not fall in love with the other person, but any romance reader can tell you how that will turn out. I just loved them together. They were off the charts sexy and I could not get enough of them. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">TK is the Queen of cliffhangers! She is just so good at not only leaving you wanting more, but also leaving you the feeling of "WHAT JUST HAPPENED?" As I was reading, I thought I knew where things were headed, but because TK is an evil genius, I definitely did not. I finished this book while I was on a very crowded subway train and the words "Holy. Fucking. Shit." came out of my mouth. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Now when does the next book come out? </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcQyuFpqxxVZvea-VjmUxgRvv-iAeWMp8nlADmx_2LwTLtLfI_1_JlW0Q8Wl6SGeA9MrJd8-FJG7AFGKRFuThRxQsx8z7yJAnCDY2JUFcbp2ict9Sll6Mh3MClpZblGL7QuaLjibo6b9JF3K93-eHjkCKHoVAGeQqyhi3wZVoTVAqbcQCDjlx-vdh4Kw/s1080/329551722_744082193728816_63057099287121327_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcQyuFpqxxVZvea-VjmUxgRvv-iAeWMp8nlADmx_2LwTLtLfI_1_JlW0Q8Wl6SGeA9MrJd8-FJG7AFGKRFuThRxQsx8z7yJAnCDY2JUFcbp2ict9Sll6Mh3MClpZblGL7QuaLjibo6b9JF3K93-eHjkCKHoVAGeQqyhi3wZVoTVAqbcQCDjlx-vdh4Kw/s320/329551722_744082193728816_63057099287121327_n.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>About the Author</b><br /><br />T.K.

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. <br /><br />“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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />Live at The Pit with him and the guys, free of charge, until my landlord fixes this mess. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />Still, I have to try. I have to push him away, even when he makes it infuriatingly difficult to do so. <br /><br />He’s broken my heart once. <br /><br />I won't let him do it again. <br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Download today or read for FREE with Kindle Unlimited </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Amazon:<a href="https://amzn.to/3QqAF1f"> https://amzn.to/3QqAF1f</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Amazon Worldwide:<a href="https://mybook.to/HailMaryKS"> https://mybook.to/HailMaryKS</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Add to Goodreads:<a href="https://bit.ly/3GeXksA"> https://bit.ly/3GeXksA</a> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><img height="423" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/BWjmKZsktxMp1mCrwNiIKwOoNmhySnxUUU3bOdCVuC8AdLvHK-M36R2PEbGgPRqlGWvt0ZzIGZrubPGzEgi21YR2IrFtyYASz1XJEwyTJsP3qX9DP9NNkdvpDYRRRg1AapaEr14eKC7UjtuWMMlbYpc=w372-h423" width="372" /> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ4KBc0PRPcdT-kT2dDK4Gl__Qjk4COlqf4_79J9_wbQpY9T30-Eba8GryRSG6tqVnVQVaqy_XPflD2b371fa75j86EyidcCMZQyGWpdxlIehflQfEmI92UYed286r3cVsVFyEmZ2dtUVhzvBxjZC-WhrI5JGm2IsLor5pMskdTRoj9hfHE1V4O90X-g/s3160/5-stars.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="668" data-original-width="3160" height="43" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ4KBc0PRPcdT-kT2dDK4Gl__Qjk4COlqf4_79J9_wbQpY9T30-Eba8GryRSG6tqVnVQVaqy_XPflD2b371fa75j86EyidcCMZQyGWpdxlIehflQfEmI92UYed286r3cVsVFyEmZ2dtUVhzvBxjZC-WhrI5JGm2IsLor5pMskdTRoj9hfHE1V4O90X-g/w200-h43/5-stars.jpg" width="200" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b><u>My Review</u></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><i>I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.</i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">Having read the previous book, I knew that Mary did not like Leo, but I was not prepared for </span><i style="font-family: georgia;">why</i><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;"> 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. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">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. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">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. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">This is easily my favorite book that I have read this year and my favorite of the series.

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. <br /><br />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." <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Connect with Kandi </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Website: <a href="http://www.kandisteiner.com">www.kandisteiner.com</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Goodreads: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7319216.Kandi_Steiner">https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7319216.Kandi_Steiner</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Amazon: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kandi-Steiner/e/B00JDJOINE">https://www.amazon.com/Kandi-Steiner/e/B00JDJOINE</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/KandiSteiner/">https://www.facebook.com/KandiSteiner/</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Facebook Group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/kandilandks/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/kandilandks/</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kandisteiner/">https://www.instagram.com/kandisteiner/</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/KandiSteiner">https://twitter.com/KandiSteiner</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Bookbub: <a href="https://www.bookbub.com/authors/kandi-steiner">https://www.bookbub.com/authors/kandi-steiner</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Verve: <a href="https://ververomance.com/app/kandisteiner">https://ververomance.com/app/kandisteiner</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@authorkandisteiner">https://www.tiktok.com/@authorkandisteiner</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Pinterest: <a href="http://pinterest.com/authorkandisteiner">pinterest.com/authorkandisteiner</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Kandi Steiner may be coming to a city near you!

Steamy, laugh-out-loud, and full of charm, these two best friends heat up the pages while proving true love might be right in front of you.</b><br /><br />Have you ever heard of a man-in-waiting?<br /><br />Yeah, neither has my best friend's soon-to-be monster-in-law. Ooo, sorry, I meant mother-in-law. Nor has she heard of the term, what the bride wants, the bride gets. <br /><br />With wedding planning underway and a short timeline, my best friend, Lia, has recruited me to help her battle the snarly beast that is Mrs. Beaver. Not scared at all, I accept the challenge as her man-in-waiting--aka, man of honor--and take matters into my own hands. <br /><br />The only problem is, with every second we draw closer to the wedding, I'm starting to see my best girl in a different light.<br /><br />She's always been beautiful to me, but now . . . I find myself staring a touch too long. My hand lingering for one more minute. And when she's upset? Allowing her to sleep in my bed.<br /><br />And before I know what's happening, it hits me like a ton of bricks. I'm in love with my best friend. Not just in love, but infatuated. <br /><br />No one compares to her and nothing seems to distract me from that realization.<br /><br />Not the girl I try to date while I help plan Lia's wedding. <br /><br />Not her angry fiancé who thinks I'm growing too close. <br /><br />And not the looming deadline of her nuptials. <br /><br />Which means, there's only one thing left for me to do. Prove to Lia I'm the one she should be with instead. But with the pressure of her engagement, the stress from her soon-to-be mother-in-law, and the breath-stealing nerves running through me, I'm finding it a lot harder to claim the girl than I would like to admit. <br /><br />Say a little prayer for me . . .<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><a href="https://mybook.to/ALongTimeComing">https://mybook.to/ALongTimeComing</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Erin Mallon and JF Harding are narrating this sizzling hot, hilarious, forbidden romance in duet. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">One-click your copy of <a href="https://mybook.to/ALongTimeComing">A LONG TIME COMING</a> on Audible today! </span></div></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Agve5UavnY4n_4C4HWJWTVNcLwb_GnimsAfD0ZX3QAqkDGAKpUp19-P8uXj_8JokwLnRFYxinrwh-eVm3966p1gmseTPi3ed_ltrgRu2VN7D4tVbRLJ2y2BUeDos12mSoW6kgUqpGEtI_ag1ARzcPjkkRfcppto3N3EV6P7I9jBRcIg2BYvpInHW-Q/s1200/altc-teasers-facebook5_Newsletter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0Agve5UavnY4n_4C4HWJWTVNcLwb_GnimsAfD0ZX3QAqkDGAKpUp19-P8uXj_8JokwLnRFYxinrwh-eVm3966p1gmseTPi3ed_ltrgRu2VN7D4tVbRLJ2y2BUeDos12mSoW6kgUqpGEtI_ag1ARzcPjkkRfcppto3N3EV6P7I9jBRcIg2BYvpInHW-Q/s320/altc-teasers-facebook5_Newsletter.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQUja-Xwwqmn1Ba1bS2icCDFRJDOIkNDj47Aes6E5whFeOMPcCcvy5fN2u55OmOQUDMHc6w8VtZ_39uhX1kBmGk_-8VcuNQsIddEZXOnxtxo6-4-TnDPCEAL0H7YOyVEgvN_YzI4Dji2dIw2XXyC4JllAyd7CB6GnYzsWn4xLFQlK1nTzAIX6AXS5I9Q/s3000/4-5%20stars.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="3000" height="47" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQUja-Xwwqmn1Ba1bS2icCDFRJDOIkNDj47Aes6E5whFeOMPcCcvy5fN2u55OmOQUDMHc6w8VtZ_39uhX1kBmGk_-8VcuNQsIddEZXOnxtxo6-4-TnDPCEAL0H7YOyVEgvN_YzI4Dji2dIw2XXyC4JllAyd7CB6GnYzsWn4xLFQlK1nTzAIX6AXS5I9Q/w200-h47/4-5%20stars.png" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b><u>My Review</u></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><i>I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. </i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">This is definitely my favorite book in the Cane brothers series.

We lie about the money we’re spending. We lie that we’re following our diets.<br /><br />What am I lying about this year? The fact that my workplace nemesis has become my friend-with-benefits.<br /><br />Collin Machlan and I have been each other’s competition since we joined our college’s radio station freshman year. Six years later, we’re both hosting shows for the country’s most popular podcast network.<br /><br />Just as everything starts turning red and green, our boss announces a promotion, and whoever gets the most listens during this merry season will be crowned the winner.<br /><br />There is just one catch; the only way to draw an audience in December is to theme every episode around Christmas. For a woman who typically celebrates alone with takeout and slasher flicks, I’m at a big disadvantage.<br /><br />Going toe-to-toe with the guy I’ve never been able to intimidate is only made harder by the fact that Collin doesn’t seem to want to play our usual games. Add in some mistletoe and a Secret Santa swap, and I finally give in to his shameless flirting.<br /><br />Maybe it’s the delusion of cuffing season, but suddenly I’m spending every night with him. No one at work knows. Neither does his family, or my friends. I lie that it’s just physical. That me, a self-proclaimed bachelorette, couldn’t possibly be on the brink of a relationship. I lie that we’re still competing for a job he doesn’t even want.<br /><br />Until one too many lies threatens to topple my life like a crooked tree with poorly-distributed ornaments. And I’m left to decide between my lonely and blue traditions, or a love that lasts all year round.</span><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Read it now: <a href="http://mybook.to/AWonderfulLie">mybook.to/AWonderfulLie</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63039017-a-wonderful-lie">Goodreads</a><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZPO9PVX5JBFpz0cPY1E_9kUmUqiYByVv0ZFyqwHi4ZqvfJRCIiD7uttKHop6sFZ7S37LreyZ4SUszhqB09bmmUW8krAvny0DnXLuwD_RI9Kr8GYCUx588c3NPkeS7GCBp6pGR5KfPgnXvvAgIYgRFSt-BbzLJSJkFBqUAy0iUxB6hylzDslwzGdICuA/s1080/available%20(Instagram%20Post%20(Square)).png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZPO9PVX5JBFpz0cPY1E_9kUmUqiYByVv0ZFyqwHi4ZqvfJRCIiD7uttKHop6sFZ7S37LreyZ4SUszhqB09bmmUW8krAvny0DnXLuwD_RI9Kr8GYCUx588c3NPkeS7GCBp6pGR5KfPgnXvvAgIYgRFSt-BbzLJSJkFBqUAy0iUxB6hylzDslwzGdICuA/s320/available%20(Instagram%20Post%20(Square)).png" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0iM9ZhK68kABqtDQBeUc52nfEDk9EOxvtcEPyzClriHMJy0F4X9GOuF52_eb7DqSGJPcN-V1QRvxTnR79LNA1O0Q1uGR8cR73rkafoO-uzFwWI_Hyn6ViFfRGdKB0DQp2TBZdUa_R3eHUqKEBXgnqsBfSJuFdaxqA1gBoO5o8496Tja_gflkkY0XngQ/s3000/4-stars.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="3000" height="47" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0iM9ZhK68kABqtDQBeUc52nfEDk9EOxvtcEPyzClriHMJy0F4X9GOuF52_eb7DqSGJPcN-V1QRvxTnR79LNA1O0Q1uGR8cR73rkafoO-uzFwWI_Hyn6ViFfRGdKB0DQp2TBZdUa_R3eHUqKEBXgnqsBfSJuFdaxqA1gBoO5o8496Tja_gflkkY0XngQ/w200-h47/4-stars.png" width="200" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b><u>My Review</u></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><i>I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. </i></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Collin and Lark have known each other since college and there has always been a bit of a rivalry between them.

There isn't a ton to do in the airport, but they definitely find ways to entertain themselves and in the process, they get to know each other. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Now, there isn't a lot of spice in this book, but honestly, it didn't need it. But there is a lot of possibility of spice. It's clear that Sloan and Becker like each other, but their current situation is being stranded at the airport with lots of other people. And they are headed home to see family, but they will eventually be back in the same city. Lots of possibilities. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: x-large;">I started this book while I was on a couple hour bus ride and I was able to finish it while I was still on the bus ride.

I'm more of a story teller (the more exaggerated the better) and I happen to know people who helped me get those stories on paper.<br /><br />I love reading (read almost 300 books last year), hate working out (but I do it anyway because my trainer makes me), love food (but hate what it does to my butt) and love traveling to non-touristy places most people never see.<br /><br />I live in Houston with my four kids, Mary, Elizabeth, Carter and Bug, who was just a twinkle in my eye when I came up with my pen name. Yeah, I'll probably have to pay for his therapy someday for being left out.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Social Media Links</b></div></b><div style="text-align: center;">Facebook: <a href="https://www.blogger.com/u/1/blog/post/edit/1238291098453321388/7629911134034582245#">https://www.facebook.com/authorMECarter/?fref=ts</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Goodreads: <a href="https://www.blogger.com/u/1/blog/post/edit/1238291098453321388/7629911134034582245#">https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/9899961.M_E_Carter</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Amazon: <a href="https://www.blogger.com/u/1/blog/post/edit/1238291098453321388/7629911134034582245#">http://goo.gl/TSDk6u</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Twitter: <a href="https://www.blogger.com/u/1/blog/post/edit/1238291098453321388/7629911134034582245#">https://twitter.com/AuthorMECarter</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Instagram: <a href="https://www.blogger.com/u/1/blog/post/edit/1238291098453321388/7629911134034582245#">https://www.instagram.com/authorMECarter/</a></div></span><br /></div>Kimmy Loves to Readhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15875317519405162439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1238291098453321388.post-80270293292446617252022-11-17T19:45:00.000-05:002022-11-17T19:45:14.265-05:00RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Untying the Knot by Meghan Quinn <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuaEYCTUif38CtXzgbvg6JDRPvpNW2oNQh-O0HuA49PjtFEY-Wp9Z8Pm68UnFd34Yu51FTRzJUgfvF62OxOy-8P9W6kX16iG5dJksdld4SPFO4JIsxclwNrp5SsWxjhdwLkJdH_bRwakJ-oAm5XQywKArKSha6Hr2Ij1gaO5c6FAe3iswsG2VkaH8mEA/s930/utk-website-available%20now_Newsletter.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><img border="0" data-original-height="424" data-original-width="930" height="227" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuaEYCTUif38CtXzgbvg6JDRPvpNW2oNQh-O0HuA49PjtFEY-Wp9Z8Pm68UnFd34Yu51FTRzJUgfvF62OxOy-8P9W6kX16iG5dJksdld4SPFO4JIsxclwNrp5SsWxjhdwLkJdH_bRwakJ-oAm5XQywKArKSha6Hr2Ij1gaO5c6FAe3iswsG2VkaH8mEA/w498-h227/utk-website-available%20now_Newsletter.jpg" width="498" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /><i>“Your heartbeat is the cadence of my life, and without it in my palm, I’m an aimless wanderer.”</i><br /><b><br />UNTYING THE KNOT, a brand new steamy, witty, emotional romance full of heart and humor from USA Today bestselling author Meghan Quinn, is Now Available in all formats!

That Ryot Bisley.<br /><br />The first time I ran into him, he was grumpy, a horrific host, and left me on his sofa with nothing but a nylon baseball flag to use as a blanket.<br /><br />The second time, he reluctantly bought me dinner, stared at my chest the entire night, and still sported that permanent frown.<br /><br />The third time . . . well, that was a game changer.

If I had to put it in a top ten list of my favorite tropes, it would definitely be at the bottom. Having said that, I didn't dislike this book, but I also didn't love it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I didn't just like Ryot, I freaking LOVED him. The book is told in the past and present so we get to see how their relationship developed and how they got to where they are today. Their first meeting was actually quite terrible and they go through periods of time where they are apart and not even communicating besides creeping on each other's Instagram accounts. (That made me laugh because that is definitely something people do.) But then they do reconnect and Myla does not want a relationship so they decide to be friends. Yup. Friends. Ryot has to play the long game and he did it masterfully! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To say that Ryot is blindsided when Myla serves him with divorce papers is putting it lightly. He doesn't understand why, but that doesn't stop him from declaring that he isn't going to give her up without a fight. Yes, he and Myla had a few rocky months in their marriage, but once he realized where he went wrong, he went all out to prove to her that he not only still loved her, but he wanted to make their marriage work. Cue the swoon behavior. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I had a love/hate relationship with Myla. She has a super complicated past, so that colored a lot of her decision making, and I understood that, but at the same time I couldn't help but dislike how she handled things. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And what is it with this author writing side characters that I dislike? Some of her recent books have some unlikable characters in them. I really wanted to like Myla's best friend Nicole, but she got on my nerves so much. I know she was just trying to be a friend, but I felt as though she overstepped multiple times when it came to Myla and Ryot's relationship. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I did enjoy the crossover characters from the author's previous books.

But according to his teammates, football is the only love of his life.<br /><br />He's their leader, their QB1 and team captain who is all business and no play.<br /><br />But when I'm with him? Mr. Serious isn't serious at all. He loves to push my buttons, to pin me with those sexy eyes of his and tease me until I bite back.<br /><br />I remind him I'm off limits.<br />He can't have me, and I don't want him—or anyone else, for that matter.<br /><br />I'm here for one reason: to show my father I'm more than his greatest disappointment.<br /><br />But when an old injury flares up and I'm forced to work with Holden every day as his athletic trainer, his attempts to get under my skin start becoming harder to resist.<br /><br />We can't give in, no matter how much the air crackles between us when we're close.<br />I'm the coach's daughter, and if Holden Moore wants to go pro, he's got to play by daddy's rules.<br /><br />Otherwise, he'll be off the team.<br />And he's not the only one with something to lose. <br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Download today or read for FREE with Kindle Unlimited </b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Amazon: <a href="https://amzn.to/3CwsMCp">https://amzn.to/3CwsMCp</a> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Amazon Worldwide: <a href="https://mybook.to/QBSneak">https://mybook.to/QBSneak</a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Add to Goodreads: <a href="https://bit.ly/3AQV7lt">https://bit.ly/3AQV7lt</a> </div><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><img height="342" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/OhtuP4YMctl95sNyGs5tCE4xSaxs5mevT0AvrnELZbNSPDUclPObfYmuItZVgCTHgfs4-hFbEFqjTwjVQj4t1xnMJngY4NYkSc72zJfM1kvFM9W4a_OIGxf7_hwCCgLA8s2__oI1-ktHoKZkNKSgLfgemza1guTQusC1xjlJOEWOkzKn6bsT8FywIQ=w342-h342" width="342" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMb5hIuQYeyJFinb1H2FMCev9uUuWbhj6i5SQMiQAK0fo68A0E1B9yRJ4MdSy5CdztU8Lox-5vnxDO_fLNZbkidu0AvtapJNOBhEf8eYl5j8CEHokEhL_7mjptpm0hb-EU1-SN6haeNDNfkz6jS0eob28dhZPPGaOewHVcnVhOJJHmgLK-BKaOgeNIPg/s3000/4-stars.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="3000" height="56" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMb5hIuQYeyJFinb1H2FMCev9uUuWbhj6i5SQMiQAK0fo68A0E1B9yRJ4MdSy5CdztU8Lox-5vnxDO_fLNZbkidu0AvtapJNOBhEf8eYl5j8CEHokEhL_7mjptpm0hb-EU1-SN6haeNDNfkz6jS0eob28dhZPPGaOewHVcnVhOJJHmgLK-BKaOgeNIPg/w238-h56/4-stars.png" width="238" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b><u>My Review</u></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><i>I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.</i> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I love when a character thinks they are broken. I love it even more when they find that person who convinces them they are anything but. On the surface, Holden may not seem like the right person for Julep, but there is a lot more to him than being the QB. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">I really enjoyed watching Holden and Julep's relationship form. Of course she finds herself attracted to him, but at first she wants nothing to do with him. The last things she wants is to get involved with a football player, especially one that plays for her father. But with them being neighbors and her working for the football team, she finds herself in his orbit more and more. And I'm sure you can guess what happens. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Holden was top tier book boyfriend material. The end of the book was just..... *chef's kiss*. Let's just say that I really enjoy a fantastic declaration of love. This book is full of emotion, great banter and plenty of steam.

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. <br /><br />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." <br /><br />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. <br /><br />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. <br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><b>Connect with Kandi </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Website: <a href="http://www.kandisteiner.com"> www.kandisteiner.com</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Goodreads:<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7319216.Kandi_Steiner"> https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7319216.Kandi_Steiner</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Amazon:<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kandi-Steiner/e/B00JDJOINE"> https://www.amazon.com/Kandi-Steiner/e/B00JDJOINE</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Facebook:<a href="https://www.facebook.com/KandiSteiner/"> https://www.facebook.com/KandiSteiner/</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Facebook Group:<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/kandilandks/"> https://www.facebook.com/groups/kandilandks/</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/kandisteiner/"> https://www.instagram.com/kandisteiner/</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Twitter:<a href="https://twitter.com/KandiSteiner"> https://twitter.com/KandiSteiner</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Bookbub:<a href="https://www.bookbub.com/authors/kandi-steiner"> https://www.bookbub.com/authors/kandi-steiner</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@authorkandisteiner"> https://www.tiktok.com/@authorkandisteiner</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Pinterest:<a href="http://pinterest.com/authorkandisteiner"> pinterest.com/authorkandisteiner</a> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Verve:<a href="https://ververomance.com/app/kandisteiner"> https://ververomance.com/app/kandisteiner</a> </span></div><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Kandi Steiner may be coming to a city near you!
