Features & Highlights

  • 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.

5 stars!!!

I’ve been in a major book funk since March, nothing would hold my interest and I just couldn’t get into any book. Then BAM Kandi Steiner releases a new book and I am sucked right into her characters world! This is seriously why she is an automatic one click author for me, her books never cease to draw me in.

This book had the perfect setting, Italy in the 90’s what could be better? It had the angst I was looking for and the swoon factor. And the characters were just amazing. I loved every second of Harley and Liam’s story, I seriously couldn’t put it down! I highly recommend!!!

Say Yes to this book!!!

I love when there's a new book released by Kandi Steiner. First let me start with how much I love the cover of this book. It's stunning! Say Yes takes plus in the 90's and it's set in Italy. Harley and Liam are both there for a study abroad. Harley is striving for perfection and while doing so isn't really living. Liam is the hot guy with a bit of an attitude and a big ole smirk on his face.

After Harley feels rejected in her art class she decides that she needs to experience some new things and say yes instead of no all the time. Harley and Liam were destined to meet. Though they may start off rough they needed each other. This was a beautiful story. I loved the nostalgia of the decade. I love that the setting was in Italy and I loved that neither character is perfect. Kandi has a way of writing characters who are real and relatable. Kandi's stories are a breath of freshness. I know when I read one of her books that I'll be thinking about it for awhile after I've finished it. Say Yes to reading this book, Five Stars!!!

Say Yes was everything I was hoping for and more. Liam and Harley are two unique characters casually walking through life. When chance brings them together you slowly start them run into their future. I laughed, had tears in my eyes. Hands down one of my top reads of 2021.

What a Ride

Say Yes by K. Steiner is a stand-alone sweet romance and tells Harley and Liam's story. Harley is a sweet character who grows a lot through the book. Yes she has some issues, just like Liam who runs from his past.
The storyline is set in Italy, a story about love, family, forgiveness and acceptance. A heartfelt emotional read that I greatly enjoyed reading and it was so easy to fall in love with. A great read, 5 stars.
