It’s a man’s world.
When I declared sports medicine as my major and every man narrowed their eyes, that saying proved true. It was true when my ex-husband decided I’d give up my career when our daughter was born. And again when I divorced the Chief of Police in our small town, and he made it painfully clear that I could leave him, but I would never be free.
Landing the job as the new athletic trainer for Stratford’s high school team is my chance to start over. And walking into a male-dominated sport and staff, I’m ready for the challenge.
I’m not ready for Jordan Becker.
The head coach of our championship winning team is a Herculean force of nature—as severe as he is determined. His icy blue eyes and permanent scowl drive the women in this town mad, and his quiet power and undeniable command conjure respect from every man.
When I join his team, I expect the doubt and anticipate the fight from him. And I get them both.
I don’t expect to form a friendship.
And I never expect to fall for him.
My breath catches when those cool eyes fall to my lips. My body comes alive when his is near. And as those lines begin to blur, every warning bell sounds.
My job, my reputation are on the line.
And my ex is around every corner, waiting to remind me of his power.
It’s a man’s world, and if I want to survive, I can never fall in love with Jordan Becker.
Even if he falls in love with me first.

Review:

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Old Fashioned is the fourth and final book in the Becker Brothers series by Kandi Steiner. It's a stand-alone if you ask me, even when there is a recurring sub-plot in all the four books. The main theme of the series is that the Becker brothers who have lost their father in a fire are trying to find the truth behind the events of that night. I don't remember much from Neat (book #2) which is the only other book in the series I have read, but that didn't stop me from sinking my teeth into this book and reading it without a hitch, so if you don't want to commit to a series, you can just read this book and skip the rest.

The book was almost perfect. I liked Jordan and Syd together and they seemed to have a nice relationship. Jordan and Paige, Syd's daughter, interacted and I could actually see Jordan becoming a part of their family. What I liked the most was how Jordan and Syd were able to see from the other's point of view and understand what the other person was going through. I thought it was the best way to resolve their conflict(s). To be completely honest, I thought Jordan was a jerk in the begging because of the way he talked to Syd, but he quickly proved himself to be worthy of been called the hero of the novel. He was wrong, but he was also right at the same time.

I liked the main characters and I liked the suspense the book had. What I didn't like is that in the end, I got the feeling that the story was a little rushed. When the Becker brothers found out the truth about their father, they also found the answers about a couple of questions that were raised in the book and I felt like they were brushed off when they should have been more on the focus. Still, my overall experience with the book was good and I would recommend it.

About Kandi:
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.
