![]() My boyfriend's billionaire boss always gets what he wants. Menacingly handsome and unquestionably powerful, Theo Whitman need only snap his fingers to have a flock of supermodels fall at his feet. So when his steel gray eyes first meet mine, I expect him to pass right over me, to not give so much as a second thought to my presence. Instead, he sees me. Truly sees me. And for a girl who prefers to hide behind her camera lens, it's the most unnerving experience of my life. Until he asks me to stay on his yacht for the summer. All I have to do to earn my keep is be Theo's on-call photographer when he has guests, and I'll get a free ride through the Mediterranean with my boyfriend. Easy peasy. Still, my skin prickles in warning when I say yes. As the humid days fade into balmy nights, I can't seem to avoid Theo. And when he finds me, it's like a rabbit running into a wolf. His intense gaze immobilizes me. The way he speaks strips me bare. Every brush of his skin sears me like a violent flame. My boyfriend's billionaire boss always gets what he wants. And this time, I think he wants me. 4 Heart Review by Ashley I don't even know where to start with Close Quarters. I will say that things got off to a slow-ish start but that didn't last too long. The imagery Kandi Steiner created while taking me around the world and back again connected me to the story in a way I wasn't expecting. I saw the world through Aspen's eyes and lens and it was stunning. I really liked Aspen. She was reserved but observant. Brave and thoughtful and I was sucked into her the way Theo was. Except they shouldn't have been. There is nothing like a touch of the forbidden to up the stakes. And they were high. Because as the problems between Aspen and Joel (her boyfriend) grew, so did the draw to Theo. I loved the way Theo saw Aspen, for her creativity and grace, and tried to get her to see herself that way too. He wasn't shy about his feelings and longing for her. I loved the stolen moments. The glances. The on shore adventures. And the grand gesture to end all grand gestures stole my breath right along with Aspen's heart. Gah! I was swept away by Aspen and Theo's romance. It was a delicious slow burn that had me waiting on the edge of my kindle to see them give in. My goodness it was sooooooooo worth the wait! I can say with complete honesty that I didn't see the turn Kandi Steiner threw at them coming at all. That little touch of danger and suspense was a very nice surprise that only upped the ante. And that ending, yes! Just yes! About the Author ![]() 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 die hard 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.
