Finding Alexei by Kendall Ryan *~*~*~*~*~* Cover Reveal & Pre-Order

   
     



Spotting a hooker on a city street corner is not an abnormal thing. Me bringing one home? Well, that's a first. But this girl . . . She's in trouble. And this asshole is not a guy she wants to go home with. So I do the exact thing I shouldn't—I offer to bring her home with me instead. She says this is the first time she's ever done this, which is adorably ironic. Then proceeds to tell me a sob story about needing money to care for the baby who was left on her doorstep. That's when my stomach starts to clench. I think she might be telling the truth. So I do what any respectable man would do—I take her home, stopping to pick up diapers and formula on the way—and discover that she was telling the truth all along. Christ on a cracker. I should have just kept walking. I should have done a thousand other things except for barge into her sad life, offer to fix everything, fall for her . . .

The Wrong Game by Kandi Steiner *~*~*~*~* Release Blitz & Review

The Wrong Game RB banner.jpeg

He can't win if he's playing The Wrong Game
The Wrong Game, an all-new angsty, emotional and fun sports romance from Kandi Steiner, the bestselling author of A Love Letter to Whiskey, is LIVE!

TWG Cover FINAL.png

Two season tickets.
One genius idea.
Zero interest in a relationship.
The plan is simple: a brand new, hot, preferably funny, definitely single male will fill one of those seats for every Bears game at Soldier Field. And I’ll fill the other.
I can’t think of a better way to use the season passes I’d bought for my ex-husband. I am a woman of plans, and this one’s foolproof.
Until Zach Bowen offers to be my practice round.
He’s infuriating. Presumptuous and overbearing. And absolutely, undeniably gorgeous. Any woman with a heartbeat would be attracted to him, and mine picks up speed every time he speaks.
But as I said, I’m a woman of plans — and I’m not backing down on this one.
One night. One game. And then, his time’s up.
He can try to change the rules, but here’s the truth: he can’t win if he’s playing the wrong game.

I Heart Books Review 

The Wrong Game by Kandi Steiner
Review by Theresa Esterline 
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Da Bears, will love touchdown or be intercepted?

What could be better than a love with betrayal, tragedy, passion, comedy, and football? Not much, plus it takes place in my home city of Chicago!! This one has some up and downs, so get ready to cheer on your next favorite couple! I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did! And now a bit about the story...

Gemma is organized, disciplined, and loves her checklists. Her best friend, Belle, thinks getting railed into next year will solve all problems. Zach is just the man to help her out. He has strong work ethic and family values. But when he wants more will she be able to trust him with her heart after all she's been thru?

Favorite passages:
- But I'd never had a problem being cocky. Especially when I knew I was right.
- "I guess chivalry isn't completely dead." "Not tonight, it isn't, princess."
- "I'm a pest now, huh?" She nodded, leaning one elbow on the bar. "But you're the cute kind of pest. Like a family of mice."
- "You know, if you're really that into torturing yourself, I could always loan you my flogger."
- Something I learned maybe well before I was supposed to is that trying to be what other people think you should be is a waster of time. Life is too short to be or do or say anything than that exactly what you want.
- "I don't think your brother is old enough to appreciate the sentiment in that yet, son." "Or, I have the wrong reproductive organ between my legs,"

Note: I was given a free copy and voluntarily chose to review this book.

About the Author:
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 diehard 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.

Dear Jane by Kendall Ryan *~*~*~*~* Release Blitz & Review

 
         

I broke her heart ten years ago and left town. She hates me, and rightly so. It doesn’t matter that the rest of the country loves me, that I’m a starting quarterback with a multimillion-dollar contract. Because when I look in the mirror, all I see is a failure who was too young—and too afraid—to fight for what I wanted. But I’m not that guy anymore, and all I need is one shot to convince her. *** He has no idea what happened after he left. And now I’m supposed to work alongside him like we don’t have this huge, messy history? But I’m older now, wiser, and I won’t let anything stand in my way of doing a good job for this league. Not even one overpaid, arrogant player who thinks we’re going to kiss and make up. News flash, buddy: I am over you.

I Heart Books Review 

Dear Jane by Kendall Ryan
Review by Theresa Esterline 
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Do you believe in Second Chances?

This story centers around the Chicago Hawks (fictional professional football team) assistant manager, Jane, and her first love and soon to be starting quarterback for the same team, Wes.  Chicago is the home base, though of course there are lots of away games.  The tention and comedy in the story had me groaning and laughing!  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!  And now a bit about the story...

Jane has the best job, she loves her life.  That is until her dad, the head coach of the team, tells her her past will be joining the team.  It has been almost 10 years since she saw Wes.  How is she going to continue on as if nothing happened?  No one knows her secret from back then, not even her best friend Alex.  As Jane and Wes are pushed together the sparks fly.  But can this second chance get off the ground?

Favorite Passages:
 - “Pleeeease? For me?” I roll my eyes. “Fine. But only so you’ll stop bugging me, and I don’t have to smell you any longer.”
 - “Sorry for being such a girl.”“Don’t worry, that’s one of the main things I like about you.”

Note: I was given a free copy and voluntarily chose to review this book.
