RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Watch Your Mouth (Kings of the Ice #2) by Kandi Steiner




Watch Your Mouth by Kandi Steiner is now live! 


My brother’s teammates know not to touch me—but that doesn’t stop me from daring Jaxson Brittain to be the first to break the rule.

After one steamy night in Austin, I’m all too aware of the hot, broody defenseman with icy blue eyes and ink sprawling his muscular arms. He was the one my brother assigned to keep me safe—and I had far too much fun tempting him to be the one to put me in danger.

It was just one night of tip-toeing the line, of teasing and flirting and messing around knowing nothing would ever come of it.

But when the universe throws me back into his lap two weeks later and we end up on a secret road trip together, all bets are off.

I can’t help but touch him. I can’t help but pray for him to touch me. And I can’t resist the temptation to test him at every turn.

Jaxson is smart and doesn’t have a death wish. So, like a gentleman, he keeps his hands to himself… the jerk.

But the closer we get on the road and the farther we get from reality, the less those warning signs from my brother seem to deter him.

When we started this road trip, we set a boundary. We promised to keep all arms and legs safely in the friend zone.

Now, miles and miles away from all the reasons we shouldn’t, all I can hear is my heart thumping out the resounding reason we should.

And the way those heated blue eyes watch me, I know I’m not the only one.

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

*sigh* I just love Kandi's books. She just has this way of making me feel all warm and fuzzy when I read them. This book was no different. 

Jaxson and Grace meet on a night of celebration. They have an instant connection, but thanks to Grace's brother warning his teammates to stay away from his little sister, nothing happens. But that doesn't mean that they have stopped thinking about each other. When Grace shows up heartbroken a couple weeks later, the two set off on a secret road trip. 

While they are determined to keep the other in the friend zone, spending every minute with each other begins to weigh on them until they just can't take it anymore. I was so happy when they finally gave into their feelings, but the sexual tension was as thick as it could be. 

I was kind of hoping that Jaxson would be a dirty talker and I was not let down. These two almost set my kindle on fire with how hot they were! 

This book also gets very angsty towards the end and I absolutely loved it. I had a good cry while reading and by the time the book was over, I went through every emotion and felt very satisfied.




Kandi Steiner is an Amazon Top 5 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 die hard 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, planning her next adventure, or pole dancing (yes, you read that right). She enjoys live music, traveling, playing with her fur babies and soaking up the sweetness of life.

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW: Meet Your Match (Kings of the Ice #1) by Kandi Steiner

 


 




Meet Your Match by Kandi Steiner is now live! 



One Month with Vince Tanev: Tampa’s Hotshot Rookie

Twenty-four-seven access on and off the ice.

The headline says it all, and my bosses are over the moon when the opportunity of a lifetime lands in my lap. Of course, they aren’t aware that I’ve already met Vince Cool at an all-star gala — and that we were at each other’s throats the entire time.

It doesn’t matter that he’s the kind of hot that shows God has favorites — messy brown hair, heated hazel eyes, the smirk of a rockstar, and a scar over his eyebrow that makes every woman particularly feral.

He’s a rich, cocky playboy — a brand I’m all too familiar with, and one I’m determined to never be around again.

But after my coverage of the gala stirs up buzz, the team’s General Manager and my CEO strike a deal. To help fill the arena at home games, I’ll get up close and personal with Tampa’s new shiny toy. Whether he’s at practice, playing in a game, partying, or drinking coffee half-naked in his condo — I’ll be there for all of it.

Vince gets under my skin like no one else. It isn’t long before that paper-thin line between hate and lust blurs, and being around him every waking minute of the day leaves no chance to escape his devilish stare.

The air crackles between us. The tension is hot enough to melt my inhibitions.

But I know the way this story ends. I’ve lived it once before.

As much as I work to guard my heart, my body is a traitor — and if this man puts his hands on me, I know I’ll submit to desire.

I thought one month with Vince Tanev was a game I could win easily.

But I might have just met my match.

My Review

I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review. 

It took me a bit to get into this book. There was something about the main characters that bugged me at first (honestly, it could have just been my mood), but once they were actually working together my feelings shifted. 

Maven has some serious hangups when it comes to guys like Vince. She's been burned before and trusting him does not come easy. Fortunately for him, Maven's job means she is around him basically 24/7 and that gives him plenty of opportunities to prove her wrong. 

I enjoyed this book. There were plenty of sexy times to give this book the usual Kandi Steiner spice. I also enjoyed the secondary characters and I look forward to reading future books in this series.
