27 hours of beautiful angst

This is a beautiful collection of this authors most angst ridden books
Weightless (5*) It's a love story. It's a story about family. It's a story about one girl's self-discovery of how beautiful she really is--on the inside as well as her outside appearance.

A Love Letter To Whiskey (5*) Man this book was a rollercoaster. B and Jamie's relationship was SUPER TOXIC . But they just couldn't seem to quit each other. Time, distance and other people couldn't make them quit each other. Kandi Steiner took me on the journey and I was hooked from chapter 1

Make Me Hate You (4*)This gave me such a throwback to this authors other book which I loved A Love Letter To Whiskey. While it didn't quite hit that level in the angst department it was darn close. It's a best friend's brother romance which I'm always a sucker for. I felt so much for Jasmine and Taylor - timing was never on their side. Their relationship was so intense and I felt it. While I didn't cry as much as in Whiskey this book broke me in so many ways, but the raw passion, need, and chemistry between the two main characters got me in all my feels.

I greatly enjoyed every book in this collection and the audio is beyond top tier. I volunteered to listen and review a complimentary copy of this. All opinions are my own.

All the yummy angst

Weightless
Loved the angst and their relationship but that plot twist at the end of the book didn’t really work for me and lowered my rating from 4-4.5 to 3.5 stars. Terrible sound production though with a horrible noice in between some chapters, how is it even possible no one noticed and fixed it?

A love letter to whiskey
5 stars. An emotional roller coaster. So. Much. Angst. Epic love and even if my heart was broken most of the time I loved it.

Great selection of books

I loved each book in this series, the first 2 (weightless and whiskey) were much better than the last book was enjoyable but a little less dramatic than the first 2 , but then I LOVE the drama , all the narrators in each book did an absolutely amazing job and I was hooked throughout, highly recommend this collection, my first from this author but definitely not my last

Woah... mind blown!!

This trio was off the charts amazing! I'm so thankful that it ended with a lighter book because this was an emotional one two. I'll do a quick review of one book but let me just say that you are missing out if you don't grab this trio. Plus, I mean you get three books for the price of one! You can't go wrong!!

This is one of Kandi Steiner’s best novels. A Love Letter to Whiskey was emotional and complex. Steiner gives us a roller coaster of emotions. I found myself angry and riddled with angst. Steiner did a superb job of playing with my emotions. Keep tissues handy… keep your reading and/or listening device into a padded case as well. Heed my warning there, in case you feel the urge to toss things like I did.

So, A Love Letter to Whiskey is an emotionally charged novel that plays on the emotions heavily. I’m not sold on the narrator Lauren Sweet. She didn’t hit on the emotions like I felt like was necessary. She has a pleasant enough voice and I have no doubt that she could pull off audios that aren’t quite high emotion. I could see her excelling at RomComs in particular.

Get your heart ready!

Three books, one credit, Kandi Steiner, angsty, emotional journeys that tug at your heart and fill you with hope. Each of the three books has it's own story sure to give you all the feels.

Weightless is the first and this is my favorite of the three. This is Natalie's time to learn about herself. After a tough time in high school and being dumped by her boyfriend, she goes to the gym as suggested by her mother to help herself get into shape. It's amazing how what people see of her truly effects her psyche, but with the help of her new trainer, Rhodes, she is on her way. Little does she realize the effect how his relationship with her will help her learn and grow. Nor does he realize what she will bring to him. This is a coming of age, finding your new norm and loving yourself story and is fantastic.

A Letter to Whiskey is next, and this one I had mixed feelings with as I listened. Jamie and B met in high school, best friends and a kiss changes it all. Over the years, their relationship changes, but never sticks. For me at times it was unrealistic. The waiting, the jealousy, and the rebirth of their feelings was a little over the top for me, but when it concluded, I understood. Like Whiskey, with age, it changes, as did Jamie and B.

Make me Hate You finishes out the trilogy and was angsty, yet it won my heart. Tyler and Jasmine were great friends. Growing up Tyler's sister was Jaz's best friend and they were like family. Until a fateful night when they got together and Jaz's life changes forever. Now 7 years later, they are brought back together for a wedding. They both have love lives, but the embers are still burning. Is it enough? I love couples with a history and these two have it. At times it's sad, but rooting for the couple was not too hard!

Pick this up! You will enjoy it. Each narration is fantastic, bringing all the emotions alive. Their performances will tear your heart up and put it back together! I enjoyed each story and you will too!
