Watch Your Mouth: A Brother’s Best Friend Hockey Romance (Kings of the Ice)
£4.99
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.

I’ve absolutely loved reading Watch Your Mouth. I love a Ice Hockey Romance and I’ve really been looking forward to reading this one. Even though it’s part of the ‘Kings Of The Ice’ series it can be read as a complete standalone.
Jaxson, a professional ice hockey player aka ‘Brittzy’, is Grace’s brother Vince’s team mate and he knows she is completely off limits but after a steamy night in Austin and then seeing her upset after a breakup, he suggests going on a road trip together. They then spend the summer travelling together in a bid to help Grace get over her heartbreak but ultimately end up falling for each other.
This book is beautifully written, fast paced and has just the right amount of angst. I loved the chemistry between Grace and Jaxson, they’re polar opposite’s but perfect for each other, I love the way that they balance each other out. I love how impulsive grace is but she hides a lot under that sunny exterior of hers. Jaxson tries his hardest to deny his attraction to Grace but he is absolutely head over heels for her. My favourite part of the book was the road trip, the keychain and the hot springs scenes were my absolute favourites (iykyk). The airport scene caused a few tears in my eyes, you could just feel the love between them. Overall a spicy, emotional and angsty read that I highly recommend.

The chemistry between Jaxson and Grace is off the charts! I absolutely adore Forced Proximity and BBF and this was so good! You can tell the instant attraction between them and watching it build was amazing to read. The spicy scenes were hot hot hot ???? and I now need a Jaxson in my life! The teaser for the next book was so enticing and I cannot wait for the rest of the series!

I don’t know. Blind Side was the first book I read of Kandi Steiner’s and I didn’t think she could top the hotness of Clay and Giana but Watch Your Mouth might just have proved me wrong. I’m not sorry at all!
I loved the chemistry between Grace and Jaxson right from the start and the way they seemed inevitable together, despite Jaxson in particular, trying to fight it. I really liked the way they saw each other and opened up to one another in a way that no-one else saw them or was able to connect with them.
Kandi really brought the spice with this book but it never took anything away from the way feelings developed between the couple.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book so I think I’ll go back and read Vince and Maven’s story as I skipped ahead. I’ll be looking forward to Daddy P’s story too!

Yessss grace! I loved this! So much angst, the slight age gap, the need to find a safe place and hike by both of them the whole experience of the book was outstanding!

I loved the small snippet of Jaxson and Grace in Meet your Match, and they certainly lived up to the hype!
It was obvious that as Vince trusts Jaxson to watch over Grace and not make a move on her. The whole forbidden trope was so delicious. How they got around her brothers ultimatum was so fantastic!
The spice, holy h3ll Kandi! You certainly stepped it up! The keychain moment, holy mama!
It was very ste@my and so sp!cy!
Their whole adventures seemed so fun and created so many beautiful moments! That gym scene!!! I loved their little would you rather games, it strengthened their bond.
The third act drama, it was so tough, but you can kind of see it coming! It was a little clear when you look back. But the way they overcame their issues and found their happiness was so sweet. They both were able to still be together while being separate individuals.

This book was mouthwatering good! This book made you sit and dream of taking a road trip just like Jax and Grace’s which was so beautiful yet steaming hot all at once, Their chemistry pours from the pages and their connection is undeniable! This book was everything a romance novel needs to be and is up there with my all time favourites. Kandi is an outstanding romance writer and creates the most beautiful stories that make you swoon and live in a world that’s not your own. I didn’t think you could get better than book 1 in the series but this knocked it out of the park.

Jaxson is a well paid ice hockey player whose ready for a change now that the season is over. He is in the right place when Ruby, his team mates sister breaks up with her boyfriend. The two have chemistry and he offers to take her on a trip to lighten things up. They enjoy a friends relationship at first and he loves that she is such a free spirit. Good story.

Oh wow, Watch Your Mouth is incredible!
The tension and chemistry between Grace and Jaxson is ????????????????. I love seeing their friendship grow, seeing them open up about their fears and helping each other to overcome these.
I felt every bit of the connection between them and the airport scene had me in floods of tears ????????????
Amazing writing!!! I cannot wait for Daddy P’s book ????
