What He Never Knew, a standalone teacher/student romance in the What He Doesn't Know series by bestselling author Kandi Steiner is live!
I never learn my lesson.
And I always want what I can’t have.
When Sarah Henderson walks into my life, I tell myself she’s off limits. She’s my student, sixteen years younger than me, and my boss’s niece. It doesn’t matter that I see the same pain reflected in her eyes that I have in my own, or that the dead organ better known as my heart kicks to life when she’s around.
I’ve been here before, and I know how this ends.
It’s been two years since I fell for the last woman I knew I couldn’t have, the one with the ring on her finger that I chose to ignore.
Two years of trying to overcome that heartache when Sarah slides into my life.
Another woman I can’t have. Another woman I can’t stop myself from wanting.
I never learn my lesson, but with a constant reminder of how that last forbidden love burned, I think I’ve finally learned this one.
This time, I won’t chase what’s off limits.
This time, I’m staying away.
And I’ll keep telling myself that until I believe it.

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.

I knew going into Reese and Sarah’s story it wouldn’t be an easy one to digest. Reese has had his fair share of bad luck in his life. From relationships to friendships to family, everyone he comes in contact with bad things happen.
While he chooses to punish himself daily with teaching at the same school that the woman he lost, he is trying to get over the heartbreak. Teaching, playing the piano part time at the restaurant and now taking on the new student, Reese should be moving on in life.
2 years have past since that horrible day that Charlie went back to her husband….
Sarah is a breath of fresh air! She is going to graduate this semester, her dreams of playing Carnegie one day seems to be coming into play.
Finals are upon her and then she can head home for the break and come back to finish her final semester. But just like that, her world has fallen apart. In the blink of an eye, she won’t be returning to college to finish.
Packing up and moving to live with her aunt and uncle to regroup, her uncle puts her in-touch with the great Reese to tutor her and get her back to playing and dreaming of moving to New York.
I enjoyed reading this story as I really looked forward to Reese finding someone who he truly deserved. It wasn’t an easy relationship but what relationship ever is?
A heart wrenching tale of age-gap love which wasn't supposed to happen but it just sprouts and blooms and sways to the beautiful piano music in midst of personal devastations.
Kandi writes with a lot of heart. Tears flow out of her pen and she soaks the pages crimson with bleeding hearts. Very touching and invoking sympathy, her characters are real and vulnerable at all times.
“Like someone has their fist inside my rib cage, fingers wrapped around my heart in a vise grip.”
This book highlights the healing power of music, It's ability to mend hearts, bring them together and provide a crutch to disabled souls.
Two characters limping around after personal tragedies have struck them down, drowning in darkness and despair
The person who left had the most power, and the person left behind had the most despair. One would move on, the other would live in heartbreak until enough time had passed.
Reese Walker is shit out of luck. Everything he touches, crumbles to dust. His love always unrequited, off limits. His personal grey cloud follows him wherever he goes. Morose, dejected, defeated
He meets his new student-Sarah Henderson. She's been through a lot....like A LOT !!
And she's still standing, that's an achievement in itself.
But she's scared, terrified, distrusting, her walls up she avoids proximities.
She just wants to disappear, be invisible, not be acknowledged or touched. Just wants to be left alone with her bf-The Piano
I was the girl who cried wolf. But I vowed to myself that I would not be the girl who let the wolf win.
They both are slaves of self-flagellation and weighed down by self doubts.
A seemingly symbiotic relationship develops and he teaches her music and she writes a brand new song in his heart.
Like Black & White Piano keys they sit together and create beautiful music, on the piano and in their hearts.
It's a angsty, raw, soulful story which has lot of fantastic content.
This was a highly anticipated story ever since WHDK the duet.
Though I have to admit, appearance of Charlie again and again irked me a bit, she had to know that scratching at the scab gotta hurt a lot and keep the wound afresh.
Maybe that twisted the knife in the gut a little bit more, so all in all good thinking Kandi!!
Go ahead and pick this up if you're a masochist who needs their hearts mauled and eyes puffed and red.
4 stars for Adorable Rojo
