'Synopsis'
Two strangers.
Two words.
One unforgettable summer.
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.
Of course, I didn’t expect him to show up.
Liam Benson, the broody, sexy, tortured artist from my class who I can’t stand. He’s got a sour outlook on the world and an ego so big no one could properly stroke it to his satisfaction.
When he finds out what I’m doing, he hijacks my “yes” night.
And after just twelve hours with him, I’m desperate for more.
But Liam is running from more than I could ever understand, and with his heart guarded and mind made up about life, I don’t stand a chance.
I convince myself that we can keep it casual.
But walking away from him at the end of the summer is as impossible as painting outside the lines.
I used to think when you’re an artist, everything has to be perfect.
Turns out everything has to be painful, and messy, and fleeting.
If only I’d known that before I fell under Liam Benson’s spell.

'My Review'
'SAY YES'
Is a full length stand-alone romance novel by Kandi Steiner. In this you'll meet Harley Chambers & Liam Benson. With a backdrop of Italy in the 90's
This is probably my favourite cover of the year so far!! It all started with saying yes, yes to new experiences, yes to living. This was such a sweet, slow burn romance with a unique endearing heroine, you couldn't help but connect with her character.
He was the boy who came with baggage, who ran away when things changed within a blink of an eye. She was the girl who strived for perfection, even when she was perfectly imperfect herself. These two were as opposite of the other as possible but suited each other to a T.
Twenty-two year old Harley, was born with a rare defect, a medical term called symbrachydactyly where her right hand didn't develop fully, leaving her middle fingers stump like in appearance. But she has an uncanny gift when it comes to painting, all her life from the vast awards for art she's won, she's been known for the 'girl with the hand.' To hone her creativity she's in Italy/Florence for three months to study art.
Failing to move her professor with her last two assignments he offers her some much needed advice.

𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐠𝐨 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭.'
Herein lies her answer, she decides to throw out the word no and throw in the word 'Yes' for only one night. It's this very night where she encounters Liam outside of class.
They only have the summer. Even though they try and fight their attraction they just gravitate towards each other so effortlessly. They say people come into our life for a reason and there's a reason why these two were destined to meet. He helps her through her insecurities and she helps him through his past mistakes.
Twenty-eight year old Liam Benson attends the same art class as Harley, he's broody and handsome and is cruising through life without a destination in mind, a broken hero with an emotional tragic past he tries to run from. Demons which chase him relentlessly.
