One of my favorite Kandi Steiner books to date! No one writes chemistry with such gusto, characters with such sincere and authentic growth journeys, or spice that feels so cathartic and connective. And Learn Your Lesson is all the things I love about books by author Kandi Steiner.
But Learn Your Lesson also felt somehow more- a deeper, more moving experience with personal resonance that I wasn't quite expecting. Kandi Steiner has written a few books that feel profoundly personal to me in the way I connect with the heroines she depicts, and Chloe is one of those characters. It’s almost eerie how much of myself I found in Chloe. Small details like her quirks and hobbies or her love for her three musCATeers and their themed names. Life details like being an educator or my college romantic experiences…. But there are deeper parts of Chloe that resonated so intensely I felt raw and vulnerable reading about her. Like being raised my single women, the profound disillusionment with the concept of a Prince Charming learned in a real lived way by the experienced of our matriarchs, a feeling juxtaposed to that carefully guarded longing we have to be someone’s “one,” that repressed but vibrant romantic dream. Or Chloe’s stoic isolation…how adulting can feel so lonely despite being around others all the time. How rare and challenging it is to find real connection as we age. Oh my did I feel so seen by this character, and how full my heart felt by how tenderly and lovingly Kandi Steiner conveyed her. How gently she unfurls on the pages…how rewarding it was to see her find her soul mate, find a man who loves and cherishes and uplifts all the pieces of her….even if Daddy P took a while to find his way. He’s a dreamboat under his own stoic shield. And what a beautiful story it is to see not just two people fall in love but a family form. To see three beautiful souls who have stopped believing in an HEA find healing and hope and wholeness again because someone else sees the heart in them and cares enough not just to hold it but to revitalize it. It’s a sweet and vibrant and heartwarming lesson in the power of love and vulnerability, and I could not love this book more!
It's a tenderly told, emotionally resonant, and really charming love story. And of course what full of that memorable Kandi Steiner spice...the spice is spicing, but it's truly a vehicle through which these two characters can explore more than their physicality. Their exploration becomes a safe, deceptively low stakes, way for both of them to allow themselves to lean into their connection. For both of them to open up and deepen their bond in a way that they can deny as "more"...when we (and they) both know it is. And my goodness did I love them. Daddy P captured my heart with his love of his daughter, with his past hurt, with his protectiveness and care of others. And Chloe- well, she's everything. My favorite Kandi Steiner heroine to date.
The audio book is also spectacular performed and perfectly cast- I was mesmerized by the performances! Both brought so much heart to the characters. The male narration of Daddy P has the grit and gravitas that had me melting. And the female narration is some of the best I've heard- she brings such lightness and charm and effervescence to Chloe. I loved this book and narration!- my heart is so full!

DADDY P IS FINALLY HERE!
We finally get to know all about broody Will Perry and his daughter Ava’s teacher turned nanny, Chloe Knott.Will has kept the grief over losing his bff/Ava’s mom close to his chest and acts though he has life all figured out when in reality he’s barely hanging on by a thread. Never able to keep a nanny around for longer than a week, sometimes days or even minutes, Chloe brings Ava to his hockey practice one day after school since no one came to pick her up. It’s then that Will comes up with a plan to have Chloe be Ava’s nanny.Chloe will never have a boyfriend. Her grandmother and mother swore off men for the rest of their lives when Chloe’s grandfather and father left them. Her family drilled it into her head that she doesn’t need a man in her life. But Chloe has eyes and knows just how attractive Will is and catches him constantly looking at her. As their working relationship turns into more Chloe asks Will to teach her things and lines get crossed and everything becomes a blur. Can Will overcome his grief and can Chloe open up her mind and heart to a man? Also, there’s a popsicle lesson and I swear you’ll never look at one the same ever again. Or maybe you already learned that lesson. 😝If you want to keep up with Will’s teammates they all show up in this story and I absolutely can’t wait to dive into Aleks story next.
