#ReleaseBlitz #Review~~ What He Never Knew by @KandiSteiner @jennw23
What He Never Knew, a standalone teacher/student romance in the What He Doesn’t Know series by bestselling author Kandi Steiner is live!
Stephanie’s 4.5 Blush Review
I must give a warning that there is a trigger in this story and it may not be for everyone….
Your differences are what make you so beautiful.
Kandi Steiner is most definitely the queen of angst! I was pulled into her insanely emotional web when I read the What He Doesn’tKnow duet. And from that duet, we finally get Reese’s story! Kandi’s words are like poetry as she tells us a story about love, loss, heartbreak and much more. I felt as though I had a weighted blanket on me at times. I had so many mixed emotions about Reese based on his behavior and history from the previous duet. I love that she made me hate him!!!
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.
Reese Walker is a complex yet simple man. He is moody, talented and reclusive. Life has thrown many things his way. He is caught in between his past and the present, trying desperately to move on. The piano has played such a significant role in his life…
His relationship with the piano was tumultuous, and his career had been anything but traditional.
Although she is a 21-year-old adult, Sarah Henderson is also Reese’s student. She too has had some extremely emotional issues to deal with. The piano has been her deepest friend and now her enemy. But Sarah has dreams and goals that she wishes to accomplish. She is tough and determined to succeed.
The truth was, music was my life, my heart, my soul.
An age gap is the only thing that separates their connection. Their love of the piano and their past heartbreak are combined to bring a melody that will soothe your soul. It is organic. Starting out as “taboo” (student/teacher) but blooming into so much more.
She was the light I never thought I’d see again, the purpose I’d thought I’d lost forever.
What He Never Knew is standalone but I recommend reading the duet first. It will give you a better idea of the back story and situations that occur surrounding Reese. Kandi does a great job of incorporating those situations into the story but it just isn’t the same. The vibe of What He Never Knew is much heavier but not suffocating. I also loved the way she describes Sarah. I had such a beautiful vision of her uniqueness and her talent.
Kandi Steiner will bring you to the brink before pulling you back! Emotions will run high but oh what a beautiful feeling when it ends. Loved the Epilogue as well. Although it was a “realistic” ending I feel that ending it any other way would have been wrong.
We had fought the demons of our past, and faced the challenges of our future – together.
SYNOPSIS
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.
