Leo Hernandez was a living, breathing heartthrob graced with wit, looks and talent way beyond what most people could dream of yet the one thing he wanted, the girl of his dreams, eluded him from a past of miscommunication and immaturity. Mary Silver was unrepentantly authentic facing her challenges and going after what she wanted. Ms. Steiner did a wonderful job of taking a character, Mary, who often came off as abrasive and difficult and making them appealing and inspiring, no easy feat. The past and present connection between Leo and Mary was rife with angst and secrets making their interactions spicy and volatile. In the end it was impossible not to want this couple to find their happiness both individually and together. The supporting cast was extremely entertaining and kept this story lively.

Kandi Steiner mixes poignant moments and hilarious antics with ease. Her scenes flow and show she has a real connection with her characters that carries over to her stories. The true voices of her portrayals often contradict the images they project to the world making them irresistibly intriguing. This was a series that readers will find it hard to pick a favorite. Each book brought something to the plate filled with smart banter and emotional layers. Ms. Steiner captured her audience's attention but ultimately captured their hearts in her Red Zone Rivals series and Hail Mary was the perfect way to end it!
