Release Blitz + Review | Manhattan (Becker Brothers #3) by Kandi Steiner --> 4 Stars
Manhattan, a standalone in the Becker Brothers series, a small town, country, friends-to-lovers romance, is LIVE!
TITLE: Manhattan
SERIES: Becker Brothers #3 AUTHOR: Kandi Steiner
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
RELEASE DATE: December 19th, 2019
Everyone knows not to fall in love with your best friend.
But when your best friend is Michael Becker, it’s impossible not to.
He’s everything our town knows a Becker brother to be: devastatingly handsome, charming as a thief, and the icing on the cake — a sentimental musician who’s never without his guitar.
And he was mine. At least, that’s what I’d convinced myself.
Our bond was born in elementary school, strengthened by circumstance and the promise to always be there for each other, no matter what. And the best thing about my life was being friends with Michael Becker.
Until it was the worst.
I watched him fall in love with someone else, and helped patch him back up when she left him behind. But when he drops the bomb that he’s moving to New York, I realize it’s my last chance to tell him how I feel. And I ask him to make one more promise.
One summer. One list of adventures to remind him that our small town has more to offer than memories of the girl who left him behind.
One last chance to tell him I’m in love with him.
And I’m just dumb enough to believe that maybe he could love me, too.

It’s no secret that I love everything Kandi Steiner writes! Every single one of her books I’ve read is packed with so much feels! I was so excited to dive into this third novel in the Becker Brothers Series, because those men are just so amazing! Manhattan was such a sweet, beautiful romance that had me swooning over the youngest Becker brother and his adorable best friend Kylie!
After the first two books, I was so intrigued about Michael! He’s hurting months after a bad breakup with his high school sweetheart and plans to leave for New York city at the end of the summer. Kylie is determined to make him realize there’s still so many things he loves about his small town. It’s also her last chance to admit her love for him, after years of unrequited feelings. Their relationship is truly lovely and their bond unbreakable despite their hard times. Kylie is genuine, funny and a dork! I really enjoyed how much she cares for Mikey and all the cute ways she makes him live his last summer with her. Mikey slowly starts to see her with new eyes and the attraction is surely there. The slow build of their romance is gorgeous and entertaining. They certainly had me smiling and laughing at their perfect connection growing from friendship!
This novel can be read as a standalone, but I highly recommend to read the first two to get better appreciate your experience (there’s an intrigue about the Becker patriarch’s death that spans over the whole series). That being said, it’s not a must. Manhattan was such an appealing novel with palpable emotions. The whole Becker clan and their interactions made this read even more enjoyable! Now, there’s just Jordan’s story left and I’m more than intrigued by the oldest Becker!

KANDI STEINER
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.
