{Release Blitz & Book Review}: MANHATTAN by Kandi Steiner

Manhattan, a standalone in the Becker Brothers series, a small town, country, friends-to-lovers romance, is LIVE!

The fire... the guitar... THE FEELS!

Everyone knows not to fall in love with your best friend.

But when your best friend is Michael Becker, it’s impossible not to.

He’s everything our town knows a Becker brother to be: devastatingly handsome, charming as a thief, and the icing on the cake — a sentimental musician who’s never without his guitar.

And he was mine. At least, that’s what I’d convinced myself.

Our bond was born in elementary school, strengthened by circumstance and the promise to always be there for each other, no matter what. And the best thing about my life was being friends with Michael Becker.

Until it was the worst.

I watched him fall in love with someone else, and helped patch him back up when she left him behind. But when he drops the bomb that he’s moving to New York, I realize it’s my last chance to tell him how I feel. And I ask him to make one more promise.

One summer. One list of adventures to remind him that our small town has more to offer than memories of the girl who left him behind.

One last chance to tell him I’m in love with him.

And I’m just dumb enough to believe that maybe he could love me, too.

About 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 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.

The blissful optimism of youth, the rosy eyed dreams of naive young'uns and the bonds of pinky promises stronger than steel...it's all explored with tender details by Kandi in this slow burn romance about the youngest Becker Brother. He's a fledgeling birdie ready to dive off into the real world from his love cushioned nest home. None of his family or friends are too happy about it but Michael Becker sees the horizon from his tiny hamlet of hometown- Stratford, and he wants to soar and touch it. His aspirational success awaits for him in NYC.

And there's his waifish childhood bestie- "Smiley" Kylie Nelson whose mission now is to top him from leaving HER!!

"I fell in love with Michael Becker at the ripe old age of eight years old. I've been in the proverbial land known as “The Friend Zone.” But, it was true. I fell for that kid like a penny off the Empire State Building—fast and silently and unbeknownst to anyone other than the poor concrete that I hit and dented when I crashed to the ground. 

She feels helpless in her endeavor cause all she has is her unrequited love, her aching heart and immense stars for their hopeful future in her eyes.

Relentless Love believes they can wrestle the world by merely heart power, surmount mountains on sheer love adrenaline and that's what makes Ky go mudding, lake diving, Line dancing, water towers climbing, all to show him what matters the most. she wants to nurse his broken heart with her soft healing hands

“You’re letting that girl drive you out of this town, out of the places you love most, away from the people who you love most. And I’m trying to show you why that’s a mistake.” 

But her endeavor to win his heart is filled with moats of tears, thorns of agony and rivers of anguish

It's such a thoughtful, subtle story. It's almost like touching a petal, smelling a flower, watching the full moon, hearing distant muted music.

Nuanced and heavenly, Kandi manages to touch my heart as soft as one touches the strings of a guitar and plays a Melancholic, pining melody.

4.5 cheers for Intoxicating love
