Drama. Lies. Sex.

Welcome to Palm South University.

The weather isn’t the only thing heating up in South Florida. At a school where fraternities and sororities don’t exactly play by the rules, relationships are bound to be tested. Parties and sex are definitely key ingredients in the Palm South recipe, but what happens when family issues, secret lives, and unrequited love get tossed in the mix?

Follow Cassie, Bear, Jess, Skyler, Erin, Ashlei, and Adam as they tackle college at a small, private beach town university. Written in television drama form, each episode of this serial will pull you deeper and deeper into the world of PSU.

Where the sun is hot and the clothes are scarce, anything can happen.

tina thoughts a review for youI am shocked. Finales are meant to be epic and this one hit the mark in a way I was not quite prepared for. Kandi Steiner has grown as an author, leaps and bounds from that last season of PSU. Her words evoke emotion that stir your heart to react. The final episode of season 2 ruined me. I felt everything. The emotions coursing through me within 49 pages was enough to make me go crazy, feeling an extreme high and an extreme low. There are moments of absolute brokenness and despair, moments of hope, moments of utter annoyance, and moments of pure bliss. Each chapter in this finale deals with a ripple (or in some cases a tsunami wave) that will shift the direction of these characters. These moments in the final episode are the defining factors of the people we have met in Black Number 4 and who they will be from this point on. It is messy and eye opening. I am still reeling from what I read and I do not think these situations and reactions will leave me anytime soon. The maturity and brilliance of Kandi’s writing has set the bar high and I cannot wait for the return of PSU in the fall. My heart might be battered from what happened this season, but I trust that Kandi has all the love and vision for her wonderful characters. Here is my warning: You have no idea what is coming, and that will make you feel it deeper. Prepare yourself and cuddle your heart. Maybe grab some whiskey. You will need it in the end. Kandi Steiner, I tip my hat to you. Way to bring the girl power to a whole new level!

 excerpt alert
As our smiles settle, I grip the glass a little tighter. “I didn’t come here to celebrate.”
“I figured,” she responds, eyes on her own hands. “Listen, I get it. It was Spring Break, we were both drinking. It’s all good.”
I cock a brow, setting my glass down on the kitchen island. It’s Sunday night and the house is mostly quiet, save for the faint sound of giggling coming from the rooms upstairs.
“It wasn’t a mistake, Cassie. It wasn’t an accident or a drunken decision. Ever since I kissed you at the concert last semester, I’ve wanted to do it again.”
She wants me to apologize for the kiss. She thinks I regret it. I don’t.
“How can you say that?” she asks, green eyes wide. “You were with Skyler.”
“I know, I know.” I pinch the bridge of my nose, not really knowing how to explain what I need to. “It’s not that I didn’t care for her — that I don’t still care for her. But I also care about you. And that night on the beach, it was like the biggest moment of clarity for me.”
Cassie drops her glass to the counter and brings her fingernails to her teeth, nibbling, eyes on the tile floor.
“You can’t do this, Adam. I mean, what are you even asking me?” Her voice is shaky when she finally speaks.
“I don’t know.” I sigh, knowing none of this is coming out right. But what do I really expect? I was dating her Big Sister just a few short weeks ago and now, what? I’m going to ask her to be with me? “I guess I’m just saying that I get what you said at the Fratalina Wine Mixer now.” I shrug, lifting my eyes to hers. “You confuse me, too.”
ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kandi Steiner is a Creative Writing and Advertising/Public Relations graduate from the University of Central Florida living in Tampa with her husband. Kandi works full time as a social media specialist, but also works part time as a Zumba fitness instructor and blackjack dealer.

Kandi 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 (like most girls brought up on Disney movies).

When Kandi isn’t working or 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 beach days, movie marathons, live music, craft beer and sweet wine – not necessarily in that order.
