Drama. Lies. Sex.

Welcome to Palm South University.

The weather isn’t the only thing heating up in South Florida. At a school where fraternities and sororities don’t exactly play by the rules, relationships are bound to be tested.

Where the sun is hot and the clothes are scarce, anything can happen.

Palm South University Season Three by Kandi Steiner
Review by Theresa Esterline
Stars: 5

Time flies!!


I couldn't believe how fast I got thru this semester!! Less than 24 hours after I started I was done and trying to force my kindle to the next page for the winter semester, but it just wouldn't go! I'll just have to wait... All our favorites are back from the previous seasons. There is laughter, tears, revenge, passion, frustration, scars - you name it, and it is there! And now a bit about the story...

Erin is hiding from what happened at formal, Lei has an awesome new internship, Jess is learning jealousy is hard, Cassie is starting to trust she won't get hurt again, Sky is trying to find herself, Adam is busy being president and jealous, Bear isn't over his love from last year. From trampoline accidents, killer concerts, dangerous dodgeball, disastrous Thanksgiving dinner, and fatal semi-formal the coeds at Palm South will keep you laughing, crying, and groaning!

Favorite passages: 
- If Ashlei had to sneak them in, it’s definitely a guy, but the only question is… which one?
- But love isn’t a pencil mark. It can’t be erased so easily.


Season 1 Review:

Season 2 Review:




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.

Shift by Staci Hart

Publishing Date:  August 24th, 2017

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Cover Designer: QuirkyBird Designs

Photographer: Lauren Watson-Perry



 
Synopsis: Even the gods cannot betray the will of the stars. It’s been a hundred years since she’s warmed my bed, a hundred years spent waiting for her. Now we’ll compete again in a game that matters little to me. But my prize is far greater than a token to be paid for a favor — I want her. And for the first time in a very long time, I have the chance to keep her. Because now the ground has shifted, tilted in my favor, and with her footing unsteady, she will fall. I will catch her. This time, I won’t let go.


About the Author

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life -- a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey. From roots in Houston to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics. AuthorPics

Review by Theresa Esterline
Stars: 5


Surgeon's, Shifters, and Sage!!

Great read! Story moves quickly with a few surprises along the way. Scenes are well described - just like watching a movie reel! Can't wait to read book #2. And now a bit about the story...

Sierra is a busy surgeon in the big city, but Sean's (her brother) birthday is coming up. So she takes a few days off to head to the middle of no where for a visit. The place sounds as awful as it seems - Pine Barrens, she has no idea why so many people choose to live there. But as the fog descends and she hits Dylan (a very sexy looking, but at the same time creepy man) with her car, it will soon all become clear. There are secrets about to be revealed to turn her world upside down. Can her scientific brain handle it or will she remain in the fog???

Favorite passage: “Fine,” I muttered, “don’t let me help. It’s your thick skull, not mine.”

About HARD WOOD:

Women often say a good man is hard to find. And a hard man is even better.

That’s why I’m quite a catch— good, hard, loaded, and wait for it…I’m ready to settle down too. But the woman I want to pitch my tent with is precisely the one I need to stay far away from.

After that fantastic night with Mia Summers, I’m ready to give her many more. But there’s a hitch in my plans — she just hired my company. If there’s one thing I’m committed to, it’s running a squeaky clean adventure tour business. One of the iron-clad rules?

Don’t screw your customers.

I can follow my own guidelines. After all, it’s only a week-long trip with Mia and her employees over the trails and down the hills I guide them on. I can obey the rules—even if it’s hard in the woods.

I’m about to give myself a badge of honor when the storm of the century hits, sending everyone else running for cover, but us—my biggest temptation and me, alone for a long weekend. You don’t screw the client, especially when you’re already in love with her . . .

But what’s a guy to do when she’s so hard to resist?
