About this listen
A longing look across the room. A forbidden touch in the dark. A love that hurts...in the best way.
From best-selling author Kandi Steiner comes an angsty collection of three gut-wrenching, heart-stopping romances that will have you on the edge of your seat from the first hitched breath until the very last kiss.
For those who like a little pain with their hearts and flowers....
Included in the collection:
Weightless
Young Natalie finds self-love and romance with her personal trainer, along with a slew of secrets that tie them together in ways she never thought possible.
A Love Letter to Whiskey
An achingly poignant roller-coaster romance between two lovers fighting the curse of bad timing.
Make Me Hate You
Jasmine has been avoiding her best friend’s brother for years. But when they’re forced to be in the same house for a wedding, she remembers just how thin the line is between love and hate.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 140
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. 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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 359
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.

Noah Becker is nothing but trouble. That's what Mama told me when I was a kid, kicking his pew in church and giggling at the games we'd play. It's what the town said when his father died and the Becker brothers went wild. And it's on repeat in my mind the day I walk into the whiskey distillery where he works to buy a wedding gift for my fiancé.

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.

It's crazy how fast the buzz comes back after you've been sober for so long. Whiskey stood there, on my doorstep, just like he had one year before. Except this time, there was no rain, no anger, no wedding invitation - it was just us. >It was just him - the old friend, the easy smile, the twisted solace wrapped in a glittering bottle. It was just me - the alcoholic, pretending like I didn't want to taste him, realizing too quickly that months of being clean didn't make me crave him any less.

What makes you happy? That was the question Emery Reed asked me the day we met, and I couldn't give him a single answer. I could have said my dog, or my books, or yoga - but I just stared. And then, I got in his car. It was crazy to take a road trip with a stranger, but after years of standing still, he was my one-way ticket to a new life, and I wasn't going to miss it. We shared the same space, the same car, the same hotel room - and still, we were strangers. One day we'd be laughing, the next, we wouldn't speak. Emery was surrounded by impenetrable walls, but I wanted in.

The plan is simple: a brand-new, hot, preferably funny, definitely single male will fill one of those seats for every Bears game at Soldier Field. And I'll fill the other. I can't think of a better way to use the season passes I'd bought for my ex-husband. I am a woman of plans, and this one's foolproof. Until Zach Bowen offers to be my practice round.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 105
See, I've been told I'm the "good time girl", not the one you take home to Mom. And while that label stung at first, I've since embraced it - living the wild and free life and sticking to a three-date max. That's just enough time to have some fun and snuff out the possibility of catching feelings. And it's been working for me for years...until Makoa Kumaka. Sadly, he also has a three-date rule - and it's the exact opposite of mine.

My dreams of attending Juilliard shattered the night tragedy struck my family. That night, a part of me died inside. Now, the only peace I find is in stolen moments on a rooftop where I dance to remember as much as to forget. Until I literally stumble headfirst into Levi’s life. He’s six feet two inches of ripped, hard, gorgeous temptation wrapped in a very irritating package.

I tried to stay away from Tyler Wagner, putting an entire country between us. But when his sister’s wedding brings us back to the same town, to the same house, I can’t avoid him, no matter how hard I try. He’s always there, his dark eyes bewitching, luring me into their depths. The memory of us pulls me under like a rip current, and when he flashes that smile, I lose my breath, along with my will, unable to escape his grip and find the surface.

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.

Three angsty titles for one credit!
This boxset is a fantastic deal- 3 books for one credit!
Weightless (narrated by Marie Mitchell): Weightless had been on my TBR forever and I was excited to see it included in this boxset. I found Natalie's journey to get over an ex and improve her fitness such a realistic storyline. Her relationship with trainer Rhodes was intriguing- he was dark and broody and I have to admit I always like a grumpy hero. A little suspense in my romance is always welcome and I have to admit to not seeing a twist coming.
A Love Letter to Whiskey (narrated by Lauren Sweet): Well this book is the true definition of angst! I truly felt for Jamie and B and how timing just seemed to be against them. Such a rollercoaster and that epilogue! Goodness! Narrator Lauren Sweet looks to have a big catalog of work and I will be checking out more of her work.
Make Me Hate You (narrated by Holly Warren): So much angst! Make Me Hate You was so intense- there was so much passion and emotion. "It's you who brings me pain. It's you who is killing me. It's you, and us," I added, motioning between us. "It's this thing that never was, but always is, that never will be and will never not be." Like that quote right there- emotional perfection. I felt Tyler and Jasmine's pain. The story is told only from Jasmine's POV, but it's easy to feel Tyler's anguish and heartache too. Make Me Hate You was real and raw and a story I just couldn't put down. Narrator Holly Warren was new to me, but she did an excellent job. I will definitely be checking out her other performances.

3 for 1! Absolutely worth the listen!
Weightless
What an emotional and angsty read. Natalie and Rhodes’s chemistry is electric and their journey is filled with twists and turns that will captivate you. Definitely worth the listen.
Love Letters to Whiskey
Wow! What an emotional roller coaster ride. Very angsty, and as much as I was hooked, I am equally left feeling confused at what just happened. I recommend this book if you enjoy angsty reads that have you flopping back and forth with anxiety about what's going to happen.
Make Me Hate You
The angst is real! Loved this new standalone by Kandi Steiner. The chemistry is electric between Tyler and Jasmine. Their forbidden best friend’s brother storyline grabs you from the get go and you won’t be able to put it down. Hold on for the roller coaster ride of emotions. Absolutely worth the listen!

An Angsty Romance Collection
Weightless is well-plotted with fleshed out compelling characters, romance, a dab of suspense and a unexpected twist. Natalie and Rhodes lovestory is passionate and beautifully written.
Narrator Marie Mitchell naration is fantastic and brings all the sensations alive.
A Love Letter To Whiskey is suffused with angst. Like Whiskey, with age, it changes, as B and Jamie changed with age. This one was my favourite of the three audios. Smooth flowing just like whiskey everything fit and come together to the end.
Lauren Sweet's performance was perfect and brought the characters and story to reality.
Make Me Hate You, a best friends brother angsty romance. A history, time and future all wrapped up into a heartfelt listen.
Holly Warren performs with enthusiasm and brings the character's personalities out.
All three books are angsty, emotiobal and a romantic journey.

Beautiful Stories!
This boxed set includes three full length stories: Weightless, A Love Letter to Whiskey, and Make Me Have You. Each story is emotional, and filled with angst and twists and turns. The narrators did a good job with the narration.
1 Weightless: Natalie and Rhodes's story is emotional and beautiful. Natalie is lovely and my heart broke for her. Rhodes is a wonderful character, caring and supportive. I loved to follow them in their journey to love. The story has angst, intrigue, suspense, and romance. This is my favorite story in this collection.
2 A Love Letter to Whiskey: B and Jamie's friends to lovers, and slow burn romance, is an emotional roller-coaster. Their journey is complex, and they share a push and pull relationship.
3 Make Me Hate You: Jasmine and Taylor story Brother’s best friend romance is intense and beautiful. They share an undeniable chemistry. The story is filled with twists and turns.

Three Great Novels For the Price of One!
Weightless
This is the second book in a row that I have read (listened) of Kandi’s. I’m beginning to really love her romance books. They are steamy without going overboard with it. I love these books but sometimes less is more. It just flows better with the story, especially this one.
I think it’s everyone’s fantasy when there is a break up that the heartbroken person improves themselves in order to make the other person jealous for breaking up with them. I loved that Natalie was able to do this by improving herself not only outwardly, but inwardly as well. Rhodes was a complicated character. He was moody as all get out and probably would have driven me crazy, but at the same time he had a sweetness about him. I am glad he was able to overcome his demons and be the person he needed to be for Natalie and himself.
Natalie was easy to root for and I loved it when she had the confidence to stand up to the bullies. That was one of the best scenes in the book. I feel like I’m a lot like Natalie, with the exception of being rich. 🤣
I did listen to this as an audiobook and I really enjoyed the narrator. The only thing is I think there was something wrong with the recording because in between chapters you could hear a big buzzing sound that was distracting at times. Still, it was worth the credit.
A love Letter to Whiskey
This book!!!! It was so painfully beautiful and hard to read at times. One minute, I was falling in love with Jaime and the next I was wanting to throw the book out the window. It was filled with so much emotional pain because Jaime and B could not be totally truthful with each other. “Timing” was the real villain in this story and I hated her.
I felt the couple’s passion and pain. I have never loved someone who I felt my soul was linked to like Jaime’s and B’s, but somehow I felt I was living B’s life reading this book. I couldn’t go to sleep an hour after I finish this book because my heart, soul, and brain were exhausted when I finally finished this book at 2:00 in the morning.
Saying all that, I still loved the journey so much. It goes to show that not all love stories work out the way they are portrayed in fairytales. Sometimes, the girl doesn’t get the guy, but this is written so beautifully. It will affect you long after you’re finished.
Also, the narration was perfection. She brought every character to life so amazingly. She was very easy to listen to.
Make Me Hate You
This is another great story written by Kandi Steiner. I always love the friends to lovers romance, especially when they fall in love as a child or teenager. Of course, with many of Kandi’s books, the love story is never easy and there are other factors involved whether it be the wrong timing, dating somebody else, or long distance. It makes the angst stronger.
I did like the narrator in this audiobook. She was able to bring the characters to life and kept your attention throughout the audiobook. I like how we get Tyler’s POV in the epilogue.
