Release Blitz and Review: What He Always Knew by Kandi Steiner

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

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.

Well I had a really hard time writing this review, I fell in love with this story in the first book and of course when you fall in love with a story you tend to fall in love with the characters... and this was a love triangle book and sadly the man I thought should have won the show did not... so with a heavy heart I have to give this book a 3.5 stars... this was not the only reason this book bothered me, but I can tell you it was not the writing or any errors in the story line but most likely just personal reasons and things I felt were left unsaid.. I don't want to spoil this for anyone so I will not giveaway my woes. I struggled with the ending because my heart hurt for the man that didn't get chosen, I know some reviews said it didn't matter to them who was chose that the story was beautiful and they loved it.. well I did love it until a certain point... and it does matter who gets chosen if I am being honest.

This review is not to come off as a bad review because I still love this author and will continue to follow her, but we as a indy community have to be honest and truthful. You become attached to the men... ya know book boyfriends and all that... and you feel that if they don't win then your not winning either and your fantasy was not played out the way you wanted. But I had to base my review as a whole to the story because it was duet and this was just the last piece... so If I had to rate the whole story it would be between a 3.5-4 stars.

I feel I may have invested my heart a little to much in this story lol. I will say this story will stick with me for a while just like Molly McAdams Taking Chances has stayed with me for years... both for there own reasons but if you read taking chances you got invested and you got invested hardcore. This is the first story since then that I have felt so strongly about a character getting the shaft- may not be the right word to use but it is what came to mind--. So maybe after all this author did what she set out to do.. she made us a story we couldn't forget.. and for that I do have to commend her whole-heartedly. She tends to do that in most of her books and while I was thinking of what to write I had to keep that in mind.

I do thank this author for pulling these feelings out of me.. if you could have been a fly on the wall with the conversation I had with my fellow bloggers you would have seen how real passionate I was lol... I look forward to what the future holds for this author.. and maybe my man- yes he is my man now cause he was not claimed in this story- will get an HEA?? One can only hope *wink *wink.

Kandi Steiner is a Creative Writing and Advertising/Public Relations graduate from the University of Central Florida living in Tampa. Kandi works full time as a social media specialist, but also works part time as a Zumba fitness instructor and blackjack dealer.

Kandi 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 (like most girls brought up on Disney movies).

When Kandi isn’t working or 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 beach days, movie marathons, live music, craft beer and sweet wine – not necessarily in that order.
