Stranded & Billionaire Branded

by Kandi Kiss

A Soulful Confession, a Steamy Opposites Attract Connection, and a Love That Defies All Odds Romance Perfection.

Rich, arrogant men are usually off my list… but there's something about him I can't ignore.

Crashing an elite gala was never supposed to lead me straight into the arms of a broody billionaire who looks at me like I'm already his.

I was invisible—or so I thought—until he noticed me.

Now stranded with Latino legend Teodoro Whitmore—dark, magnetic, and far too tempting.
Every moment near him feels like standing too close to the flames—one spark, and I'm engulfed.

He sees me in ways no one ever has, and I finally see the part of him no one else ever will.
In that moment, I realize falling isn't optional—it's inevitable.

Teodoro Whitmore is the kind of obsession that burns like wildfire.
Surrendering to him wasn't supposed to be this easy, and getting me back sure as hell won't be either.

I enjoyed reading this book. Opposites attract. Instalove. Billionaire who has never seen real love. And poor Chloe trying to navigate the world she’s thrust into. I love the meet-cute in this book. He assumes she’s someone else. She can’t believe he even wants to talk to her.

My only issue with the book was the break-up. It seemed a bit out of character of Teo. That’s the only fault I had. I wanted to wring his neck, but their reunion is one that will make you sigh along with Chloe.

Review by Jennifer Winters

Just finished Stranded & Billionaire Branded by Kandi Kiss. This is not my go to genre, but I thought I would give it a go. This opposites-attract, forced-proximity story has all the ingredients: a crashing-an-elite-gala premise that strands the heroine with a dark, magnetic, arrogant billionaire (Teodoro Whitmore) They have a sizzling chemistry, and a deep emotional connection that sneaks up on you.

The author's talent for vivid, sensory writing. Descriptions like the boat's gentle, melodic cadence rocking in the water made it engaging. The author does capture the characters' thought processes—every doubt, desire, and vulnerability—lets you live inside their heads and hearts. It's a steamy book but has emotional layers and soulful moments make it more than just risqué’.

If you love romance with high stakes, forced proximity, and writing that makes everything feel alive, this one's a winner. Great for Valentines Day!

As someone who reads a lot of romance, especially billionaire stories, Stranded & Billionaire Branded checked a lot of boxes for me. The story centers around a mistaken identity that turns into a forced proximity situation with a broody billionaire, and the chemistry between the characters is immediate.

The dynamic between them keeps things interesting, with a strong mix of tension, attraction, and emotional moments. The stranded setting adds to the intensity and gives the relationship space to develop in a way that fits the fast-paced nature of the story.

It has a solid balance of heat and story, with enough depth to keep you invested while still being an easy, entertaining read. If you enjoy opposites attract, billionaire romance, and strong chemistry, this one is worth picking up.

Theodoro heats up the pages with Chloe as their story unfolds. She crashes an elite party and when Theodoro connects with her sparks ignites between them. Stranded together only intensifies the connection. This story jumps off right from the beginning and just keeps going. I was drawn to this couple and their story and watching it unfold had me all caught up in it. Is a well written story with a sizzling storyline and great characters.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

[Fiction and Tea :D · Rating 4 out of 5]

For me, this was the perfect short read—funny, engaging, and full of characters getting themselves into delightfully silly situations (never on purpose, of course). The “not quite” chemistry between Chloe and Theodore felt natural and believable, which made their dynamic even more enjoyable. The pacing was spot-on—never rushed, just unfolding at the right rhythm—and I especially loved their witty, often hilarious interactions.
If you’re after a light, entertaining read with humor, charm, and a touch of heat, this one’s definitely worth picking up.

Great story!

Teo is CEO of his father’s company. He did not get along with him. His step brother is a bit jealous that Teo got the CEO position. One night at a gala in his Moms memory, he meets Chloe. It is live at first sight, she is so different from other women he met. After not seeing her for one year, he calls her to talk. In that year of not seeing each other, they both grew. Now is the time to see if they belong together or not.

[Elena Everon · Rating 4 out of 5]

A dramatic and engaging romance that blends mistaken identity, intense attraction, and emotional growth. Chloe and Teo’s connection feels immediate yet layered, with sparks that deepen through forced proximity. The mix of steamy moments and heartfelt introspection keeps things compelling, even if the pacing occasionally feels rushed. An enjoyable, character-driven escape.

Woke up

Wild story. Most people would've bailed in that crazy situation. Truth is, she never sought help to deal with her problems. But here's the silver lining - she turned her whole messy life into a killer bestselling book.

I enjoyed Theodoro and Chloe’s story. It’s a very interesting opposites attract romance. Sparks fly immediately and a very unexpected relationship unfolds. A great read.
