Quarterback Holden Moore can have any girl he wants.
Except me: the coach’s daughter.

With piercing green eyes, herculean biceps, and irresistible dimples, Holden is the number one target for every girl on campus. But according to his teammates, football is the only love of his life.

He’s their leader, their QB1 and team captain who is all business and no play.

But when I’m with him? Mr. Serious isn’t serious at all. He loves to push my buttons, to pin me with those sexy eyes of his and tease me until I bite back.

I remind him I’m off limits.
He can’t have me, and I don’t want him — or anyone else, for that matter.

I’m here for one reason: to show my father I’m more than his greatest disappointment.

But when an old injury flares up and I’m forced to work with Holden every day as his athletic trainer, his attempts to get under my skin start becoming harder to resist.

We can’t give in, no matter how much the air crackles between us when we’re close.
I’m the coach’s daughter, and if Holden Moore wants to go pro, he’s got to play by daddy’s rules.

Otherwise, he’ll be off the team.
And he’s not the only one with something to lose.

4.5 forbidden stars!

Quarterback Sneak is the first book I have read by Kandi Steiner and it most definitely will not be the last. I love forbidden romances and sports romances and she has combined both into a wonderfully crafted story with all the angst, heat, and heart I could want. It was captivating from the start and I couldn’t stop from being fully invested in Holden and Julep’s lives.

Holden is the starting quarterback for North Boston University. Football is his life and nothing will stop him from going pro…until Julep enters his life. She is the coach’s daughter and she is off-limits to everyone on the team. The coach has made it clear that he will ruin Holden’s chances of going pro if he even looks at Julep too long. All he has to do is focus on football and keep his mind off of her. Easy, right?

Holden is such a great character. He puts his all into football and a great leader for the team. He has had more than his share of heartbreak and my heart hurt for all he went though. However, even though he suffered unimaginable loss, he did not give up and is determined to reach his goals. Nothing has made him question what he wants until Julep walks into his life.

There is something about Julep that captivates Holden from the first time he meets her. She has a sadness in her that he can relate to but she keeps it hidden to everyone else. He cannot stop thinking about her which makes it very hard to keep his promise to the coach, especially since she is interning with the team for her sports medicine.

Holden is a great guy and he just wants to focus on football and go pro but Julep changes everything. He is the one who pursues her which is such a breath of fresh air when it comes to these types of stories. I loved that he wanted to get to know her and showed her a side of himself most people don’t get to see. He understands her pain and gives her a shoulder to lean on. He never judges her and is honest with her from the start. He’s the person she didn’t know she needed and he changed everything.

He’s filled me with life, even when I hadn’t asked for it.

I love the forbidden aspect of this story. The slow burn start that turns into a raging fire of chemistry and sexual tension is so well written. I loved that when they cross the line, they go all in but I was definitely nervous even moment they snuck around. There was enough angst to keep my heart pounding but nothing over the top or unbelievable. I loved the way they were together and adored how things played out. The epilogue was icing on the cake and everything I could have wanted for these two. I loved it!!

Meet Kandi

Kandi Steiner is an Amazon Top 5 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 die hard 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, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.
