Baby Yours (Hunter & Lennon #2) by Kennedy Fox *~*~*~*~* Release Blitz & Series Review








The worst day of my life happened when Brandon died. 
We had our entire future mapped out. 
Careers, marriage, kids—in that order. 
Then the universe threw a curveball and ended it all. 

As I come to terms with everything, I learn I’m carrying his baby. Now I’m living with his roommate, the guy who’s made my life a living hell the past two years. Hunter’s now the one to hold me up when all I want to do is fall. 

Knowing my religious parents will never accept the pregnancy out of wedlock, Hunter offers to be my fake husband. While I think he’s gone crazy, it’s the only plan that’ll keep them in my life. So I do whatever it takes to make our relationship believable—kissing, touching, even letting him hold me when we sleep. The lines are so blurred neither of us want to admit we’re no longer pretending. 

The guilt of what we’re doing eats me alive as I struggle to deal with my emotions. I push him away, but he pulls me closer, showing me how he’s always felt.  

Just as I begin to follow my heart, I learn Hunter’s been keeping secrets.
And I’m left to make the hardest decision of my life…


**This is book 2 in the Hunter & Lennon duet and must be read after Baby Mine. Recommended for ages 18+**

Baby Yours (Hunter & Lennon #2) by Kennedy Fox
Review by Theresa Esterline 
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Guilt can be so hard to overcome...

Note: Spoilers for Book #1 in this review...

Hunter and Lennon are back in the off limits, second chance, surprise baby romance.  You will be frustrated and just beg them to tell each other the truth, to heck with what others thought.  But often times we worry way too much about what others think of us.  And now a bit about the story... 

When we left them last, they were about to share their "marriage" with her parents.  And then Jenna showed up on their doorstep pregnant.  But off they went to Utah, to keep Lennon's virtues in place.  But can these two can only "fake it" until it becomes too real.  Will they give in? 

Favorite passage: “Your imperfections are what make you perfect.  Your vulnerability makes you human.

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











I saw her first.
Blonde. Gorgeous. Feisty.
I was smitten. 


But it didn’t matter because she chose him and he was my best friend and roommate. I’d never be able to compete with that, so I pushed her away instead. It was easy when she lived hours away, and I didn’t have to see her every day, but then she moved in with us. 
Now, I’m screwed.

To her singing in the shower every morning, dancing in the kitchen while she makes coffee, and doing yoga in our living room, I can’t stop thinking about her in all the wrong ways. She’s not mine and never will be, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to push her against a wall and claim her mouth.

She’s constantly on me for making messes, bringing chicks home every weekend, and being a smartass when their PDA gets on my nerves. Considering neither of them know how I feel, it’s not fair for the way I act toward them. I should move out so I can get over her for good; however, the selfish part of me can’t let go. 

But then the unthinkable happens... 
When my best friend dies in a motorcycle accident, the two of us are left to grieve our loss together. Instead of pushing her away, I pull her closer. 

Just as we come to terms with our new reality, she finds out she’s pregnant with his baby. 
And I’m left to make the hardest decision of my life...

Baby Mine (Hunter & Lennon #1) by Kennedy Fox
Review by Theresa Esterline 
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

He's decided it has to be hate at second sight!

First in the Hunter and Lennon duet.  There is love, laughter, desire, hatred, grief, longing, you name it. Based in California, surrounding four friends and their lives after college.  Being a duet, there is a bit of a cliffhanger and just based on the series name you know things are going to happen, the surprise will be in the when and how! And now a bit about the story...

Hunter sees Lennon first, as she comes up the bar where he is slinging drinks. His three friends are there with him, will kind of, they are drinking, not working.  Lennon comes up to the bar a few times, but they are slammed. Instead of asking for her number, he tells her to come back at closing. But she never does. He's bummed because he felt something, even with their brief dialogs and barely hints of a touch. Then the next time he sees her, she's just in a shirt getting something from him fridge. She picked his best friend and roommate Brandon. Now he can never have her...oh well, she said she was from out of town.  He'll never have to see her after sporting break, right?

Favorite passages:
- “I don’t know how you’re patient enough to teach,” she tells me. “I love kids, but their parents can be devils.”
 - His guests prancing around in their underwear is one thing, but allowing her to wear my clothes is pushing it too damn far.
- Today was the Monday-est Tuesday ever, and I’m over it.
- “I’ll be back to ice cubes and oxygen on Monday.”

What He Always Knew by Kandi Steiner *~*~*~*~* Release Blitz & Review

RB_BANNER_WHAK (1).jpg


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


WHAK cover FINAL_1


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.

What He Doesn’t Know by Kandi Steiner 
Review by Theresa Esterline 
Stars: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

When a House becomes a Home...

Charlie's story continues. The passion, highs, and lows. If you read my promo posts for the What He Doesn't Know Duet, you'd know I hadn't decided which team I was on. And now a bit about the story...

As Charlie decides to give Cameron time and Blake shows back up in Reese's life, the pull on Charlie to decide draws to a conclusion. I finally decide who I would pick and chapters later Charlie agrees and then Kandi pulls a fast one and I can't believe what I've just read. Of course I'm sure she'll make it right...

Favorite passages:
 - “And you love me. And if there’s anything in this world worth making a mess over, worth fighting for, it’s that.”
 - Not only had he slept with her, but he’d fed me another baking sheet full of bullshit cookies before telling me that he’d slept with her.
 - “Well, no one says floozie,” he said, and I laughed,
 - Because I loved her enough to set her free.

What He Doesn't Know Duet by Kandi Steiner *~*~*~*~*~* Cover Reveal

Duet Facebook Cover_2.png


What He Doesn’t Know Release Date: March 15th, 2018

WHDK cover FINAL_1


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.
