RELEASE BLITZ & 4 1/2 STAR REVIEW: Close Quarters by Kandi Steiner






My boyfriend's billionaire boss always gets what he wants.⁣

⁣Menacingly handsome and unquestionably powerful, Theo Whitman need only snap his fingers to have a flock of supermodels fall at his feet. So when his steel gray eyes first meet mine, I expect him to pass right over me, to not give so much as a second thought to my presence.⁣

Instead, he sees me. ⁣

Truly sees me. ⁣

And for a girl who prefers to hide behind her camera lens, it's the most unnerving experience of my life.⁣

Until he asks me to stay on his yacht for the summer.⁣

All I have to do to earn my keep is be Theo's on-call photographer when he has guests, and I'll get a free ride through the Mediterranean with my boyfriend. Easy peasy.⁣

Still, my skin prickles in warning when I say yes.⁣

As the humid days fade into balmy nights, I can't seem to avoid Theo. And when he finds me, it's like a rabbit running into a wolf.⁣

His intense gaze immobilizes me. The way he speaks strips me bare. Every brush of his skin sears me like a violent flame.⁣

My boyfriend's billionaire boss always gets what he wants.⁣

And this time, I think he wants me.

My Review

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

This book hooked me straight from the prologue. Knowing what the book was about and then reading the prologue made me even more intrigued. I knew that this would be a great story and I was not let down. 

From the minute Theo appeared on the page, I liked him. He was super laid back and even though he was a billionaire, I felt like he could have easily been the normal guy next door. He made a point to pay attention to everything going on around him. Aspen and Theo's first meeting set the tone of their relationship and I couldn't wait to see how things developed. 

On the surface, Aspen and Theo's relationship seemed complicated. I mean Theo is her boyfriend's boss. And Aspen is also Theo's employee. But it really wasn't complicated at all. They understood each other. They enjoyed each other's company. They were attracted to each other. It was as simple as that. 

I really enjoyed this angsty boat trip around the Mediterranean! I haven't done much traveling in my life and with things the way they are right now, I couldn't even if I wanted to. So the fact that this story took place in all these wonderful places made me like it even more. 



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

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

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

RELEASE BLITZ & 5 STAR REVIEW: Atonement (Possession #2) by T.K. Leigh



Londyn Bennett entered my world like a hurricane. One I was grossly unprepared for.

But in the short time we’ve known each other, she’s opened my eyes to things I never expected. She taught me about acceptance. Compassion. Love.

Because of her, I’ve also been forced to learn about prejudice. Cruelty. Hate.

We may come from two different worlds, but the second we met, our hearts beat as one, nothing able to sever our connection.

Or so I thought.

When the bubble we’ve been living in bursts, will our love be strong enough to weather the gale-force winds threatening to upend everything? Or is hatred too powerful to overcome?

A wise person once told me that the right path isn’t always the easy one.

I just never realized the right path could be so treacherous.

Atonement in the final book in the Possession Duet, a gripping opposites attract, interracial romance that tests the limits of love.







My Review

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

Whew! TK really took us on a journey with this one. Let me start by saying that this book is difficult to read at times. In Possession there were some sensitive topics that were talked about and touched upon, but in this book those topics are really brought to the forefront. I just wanted to reach into the story and yell at some of the characters and/or smack them upside the head. I also had these moments where the events of the book made me so angry, I had to put it down.

Having said that, this book is excellent. It picks up where Possession left off  (so go read that if you haven't!) and the story unfolds from there. And it is a complicated one. Wes and Londyn's path to happily ever after is filled with plenty of setbacks. There were people who wanted to see them break up, but throughout the whole thing it is clear that their relationship is the real deal. 

I just loved this book so much! Wes just kept being amazing and Londyn grew into this amazing, kick ass woman who I not only wanted to be friends with, but who I also wanted to stand up and applaud. 

Now bring on the next book! I won't give anything away, but let's just say that I can't wait for this character to get their happily ever after. 

CW: Sexual assault, physical assault, racism, emotional abuse, talk of a death of a loved one
