Say Yes by Kandi Steiner is now live!
Two strangers.
Two words.
One unforgettable summer...
When you're an artist, everything has to be perfect.
Or so I thought, until my professor told me my perfection was boring and unoriginal. Studying abroad in Florence has taught me one thing: I know nothing when it comes to what makes art truly beautiful.
So, with my professor's words in my ear, I step outside one evening and decide to say yes to any and everything I'm faced with until the sun rises.
Of course, I didn't expect him to show up.
Liam Benson, the broody, sexy, tortured artist from my class who I can't stand. He's got a sour outlook on the world and an ego so big no one could properly stroke it to his satisfaction.
When he finds out what I'm doing, he hijacks my "yes" night.
And after just twelve hours with him, I'm desperate for more.
But Liam is running from more than I could ever understand, and with his heart guarded and mind made up about life, I don't stand a chance.
I convince myself that we can keep it casual.
But walking away from him at the end of the summer is as impossible as painting outside the lines.
I used to think when you're an artist, everything has to be perfect.
Turns out everything has to be painful, and messy, and fleeting.
If only I'd known that before I fell under Liam Benson's spell.

My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
This is one of those books that I picked up to read a few chapters and the next thing I knew it was hours later and I had finished it. I spent the next day feeling a bit sleep deprived, but it was absolutely worth it!
Harley is a gifted artist, but she's struggling. She needs to throw caution to the wind and live a little. So when she sets out to have a night of "saying yes", the last person she wants to see is Liam. Liam is that guy in class. You know...the one who does well while seemingly doing very little work. So while he annoys Harley, he manages to convince her that he should help out with her "say yes" night.
I really enjoyed the development of Harley and Liam's relationship. He loves to get on her nerves and as much as she hated it, she also loved it. They had some good banter, but they also leaned into serious things at times. Liam has a dark past that has made him the man he is today.
Just like Kandi's previous book, Close Quarters, this book was full of places I have never been and I loved reading about them. Also, it takes place in 1996 so there is a lot of 90's nostalgia, which I also enjoyed. This book is a lot of fun, but it is also emotional. I ugly cried during my reading binge and it was such a good cry.
Kandi Steiner is a bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing "emotional rollercoaster" stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance -- in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you're a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she's your gal.
An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women's Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her "freedom of press." She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn't writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer and sweet wine -- not necessarily in that order.
