My Thoughts and Review:

Talk about an amazing book. This is the first book I have read by Molly O'Hare. I can say that I will be doing my best to work my way through her back list now.

This book is a great Friends to Lovers Rom Com. It will give you lots of warm and cozy feelings, and leave you feeling content. There are so many incredible and unique characters in this book. I truly loved both Austin and Eve, and the friendship they shared. Although I have to say my favorite character was probably Mildred, she was quite the dirty old lady!!!

Eve and Austin were so opposite each other, but that just made them even more perfect for each other. I loved how Eve dedicated her life to helping other women feel sexy and confident in their bodies especially if they are on the thicker side. The fact that Austin loved that part about Eve made him and even more swoon worthy hero.

Meet Molly O'Hare

Molly O’Hare is a USA Today Bestselling author of plus size romance books.

She grew up with severe dyslexia and neurodivergence, trust her, spelling is not her strong suit. Over the years, she’s become a huge advocate of “just because you learn something a little differently than others does not make you less in any way.” She also advocates for body positivity in all shapes and sizes. And, to say Molly is obsessed with all things animals is probably an understatement.

When she was younger, she had a wicked case of insomnia most nights, and to help herself fall asleep, she would create stories in her head, always picking up where she left off the night before. Then, one morning she figured if she got endless enjoyment out of her imagination, others might as well. And thus started her career as an author.

And as she always likes to say, never forget how absolutely unique and beautiful you are.

The world is better because you are here.

New Release and Review: Say Yes by Kandi Steiner

Say Yes by Kandi Steiner is now live!

Two strangers.
Two words.
One unforgettable summer...

When you're an artist, everything has to be perfect.

Or so I thought, until my professor told me my perfection was boring and unoriginal. Studying abroad in Florence has taught me one thing: I know nothing when it comes to what makes art truly beautiful.

So, with my professor's words in my ear, I step outside one evening and decide to say yes to any and everything I'm faced with until the sun rises.

Of course, I didn't expect him to show up.

Liam Benson, the broody, sexy, tortured artist from my class who I can't stand. He's got a sour outlook on the world and an ego so big no one could properly stroke it to his satisfaction.

When he finds out what I'm doing, he hijacks my "yes" night.
And after just twelve hours with him, I'm desperate for more.

But Liam is running from more than I could ever understand, and with his heart guarded and mind made up about life, I don't stand a chance.

I convince myself that we can keep it casual.
But walking away from him at the end of the summer is as impossible as painting outside the lines.

I used to think when you're an artist, everything has to be perfect.

Turns out everything has to be painful, and messy, and fleeting.

If only I'd known that before I fell under Liam Benson's spell.

My Thoughts and Review:

"I don't believe in love or hate or good luck or bad luck or mistakes, and I most certainly don't believe in perfection. Because life is just that-life. It's hard most days. Some days, it's okay. And in the end, you only have this very moment."-Liam Benson, Say Yes by Kandi Steiner

This is one of those books that will leave you with a hangover. While I could have, and would have loved to have devoured it in a day, I am also glad I read it at a slow leisurely pace, allowing myself time to fully digest all of the emotions this book will evoke.

I truly loved the nostalgic feeling this book gave me. I may have been just getting ready to start high school in the summer of 1996, and have never been to Italy, but there were still so many wonderful memories of that time brought back to me with this book. Worrying about long distance calls, disposable cameras, the bombing of the Olympics in Atlanta (ok, that one might not have been a wonderful memory but it helps make my point).

These characters, oh these characters...... Harley with her drive to be perfect, Liam with his no commitment attitude. Complete opposites, yet finding each other at a particular place in time and needing something from the other.

This book is full of so many emotions. So much angst. Harley with her minor physical disability. Liam feeling lost and afraid of loving. This book in my new favorite from Kandi Steiner.

Meet Kandi

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.
