RELEASE BLITZ & 5 STAR REVIEW: What He Always Knew by Kandi Steiner


What He Always Knew by Kandi Steiner 
What He Doesn’t Know Duet, book 2 
Release Date: March 29th, 2018 
Genre: Contemporary Romance 






Left or right.

It’s that simple, and it isn’t simple at all.

If I turn left, the road will lead me back to the man I promised my life to, the one I’d imagined building a family with, the one who’s done everything in his power to get me back.

If I turn right, the road will take me to the man I loved first, the man who brought me back to life, the man who would do anything to keep me.

I knew the fork in the road was inevitable; it was the decision I never wanted to make between choices I didn't know I had.

And I love them both.

My heart is destined to exist in two equal halves — one with each man. But one half beats stronger, the vein running deepest, and holds my choice in silence long before I know it for myself.

The realization of what I have to do, of the heart I have to break, just might break mine too.

Left or right.

All I have to do is take a breath and turn.

My Review

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

I won’t lie. This book was difficult to read at times. It’s a story about three extremely flawed people and there were moments when I did not like any of them. I got frustrated with their choices and wanted to reach into the book and shake some sense into them. There were even times when I felt that none of them deserved to be happy.

But I kept reading. Kandi’s words sucked me into the story and wouldn’t let me go. I had to find out how everything played out. And I usually stay away from love triangle stories, but after reading the first book I had to read this one. I’ve been cheated on and I’ve cheated. It was also a long time ago and I like to think that I’ve become a better person since then. I think my past experience helped me get through this book without passing any hard judgements on the characters. Some readers have a hard line about certain things happening in books and I know that some won’t read this book because of it or if they do, they will give it a low rating.

But that doesn't mean that Kandi hasn't given us a beautiful story. Everything about it seemed so real to me. Going in I had thoughts on how things would probably play out and who should end up together. I will not say if I was right or not, but I will say that throughout the course of the book my feelings changed more than once and I was satisfied with the ending. Even if I ended up sobbing in the middle of a Whole Foods. It happens.

RELEASE BLITZ & 5 STAR REVIEW: What He Doesn't Know (What He Doesn't Know #1) by Kandi Steiner



What He Doesn’t Know by Kandi Steiner 

Publication Date: March 15th, 2018 
Genre: Contemporary Romance 
Photographer: Perrywinkle Photography, Lauren Perry 
Cover Designer: Kandi Steiner





On the northeast side of town, there is a house.

The house was once magical, filled with love and joy and plans for the future.

Inside its walls are many things that belong to me — my books, the china from my mother on my wedding day, the beautiful cage once home to two birds, now empty, just like me.

And a man.

A man who also belongs to me.

A man I no longer wish to keep.

A man who, no doubt, has not slept, though the sun is rising. Because the house where he waits is where I laid my head to rest every night for eight years. Until last night.

No one who knows me would believe Charlie Pierce, the quiet, bookish girl who never made waves is pulling out of the driveway of a man who isn’t her husband.

But they don’t know me at all.

I don’t even know me.

Not anymore.

They say there are two sides to every story, and I suppose in most cases, that’s true. But the one I live inside of? It has three.

On the northeast side of town, there is a house.

But there is no longer a home.

My Review

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


On the surface, everything looks good in Charlie’s life. She has a job that she absolutely loves, a happy marriage and a supportive family. But underneath it all, her marriage is holding on by a thread. I won’t go into details, but I will say that the reasons are both heartbreaking and infuriating. So when someone from her past, who has an equally heartbreaking past, reappears, certain things start to become very clear to her. She is forced to take a real a look at her life and make a choice that will ultimately change everything.

Kandi is one of those writers that makes you feel all the things when you read one of her books. Whether it’s happy or sad, her words draw you into the story and before you know it, you are completely invested in the characters. I have my own feelings as to how i want things to play out and I can’t wait to read the next part to find out what happens. I’m sure Kandi won’t make it easy for both the characters as well as us readers.

FYI - This book is part 1 of a duet, so it does end on a sort of cliffhanger. Not an “OMG. I didn’t see that coming!” way but more like a “Gah! I REALLY need to know what happens next!” way.
