What He Doesn't Know by Kandi Steiner (ARC review)

TITLE: What He Doesn't Know
AUTHOR: Kandi Steiner
RELEASES: March 13th 2018
GENRE: Contemporary Romance

"The ring on her finger was a symbol of her commitment to another man. That alone should have sobered me. That alone should have been at the forefront of my mind, but it wasn't. Charlie Reid was married, she was Charlie Pierce now, and still, it didn't matter. I loved her anyway."

MY THOUGHTSMy heart aches for Charlie and everything she's been through as well as what's yet to come. I swear, Kandi's writing breaks me just a little more with each book I read. This one hits just a little close to home and I loved it so much!

"He watched me the longest, his brows low, and I knew trhat look in his eyes. He was threatened, and he was warning me. I'd have done the same thing if Charlie was mine."

I never thought I would enjoy reading about a love triangle, but damn if Kandi didn't make me fall in love with this one.. There was just the right level of angst and betrayal and remorse. Charlie is a beautiful character and it killed me to read about everything she's gone through. Unhappy marriages make my heart hurt, especially when they cause one or both party to feel less than, so that was a difficult aspect to the story. It all made sense, though. Kandi made it heartwrenchingly beautiful and necessary to the progression of the plot. I can't imagine a better start to a duet.

"They say there are two sides to every story, and it was in that moment, in that dark, desperate snapshot of my life that I realised I hadn't asked him for his."

BLURB: On the northeast side of town, there is a house.

The house was once magical, filled with love and joy and plans for the future.

Inside its walls are many things that belong to me — my books, the china from my mother on my wedding day, the beautiful cage once home to two birds, now empty, just like me.

And a man.

A man who also belongs to me.

A man I no longer wish to keep.

A man who, no doubt, has not slept, though the sun is rising. Because the house where he waits is where I laid my head to rest every night for eight years. Until last night.

No one who knows me would believe Charlie Pierce, the quiet, bookish girl who never made waves is pulling out of the driveway of a man who isn’t her husband.

But they don’t know me at all.

I don’t even know me.

Not anymore.

They say there are two sides to every story, and I suppose in most cases, that’s true. But the one I live inside of? It has three.

On the northeast side of town, there is a house.

But there is no longer a home.
