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.
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.

Watch Your Mouth is book 2 in the Kings of Ice series by Kandi Steiner. This delicious book is an age-gap, teammate's little sister-themed story. Jaxson Britton was the teammate that Vince thought he could trust with his little sister as he had warned the rest of the team to stay far, far away from here. Jaxson is immediately intrigued by Grace but knows he can never act on it. After a night of heavy flirting and dancing, Grace returns to her nomad life until she shows up a little bit later at Vince's upset and having broken up with her kind of boyfriend. When Jax offers to take her on a drive, the two are off on an adventure across the US. They both try to resist each other but can't.
This was such a good story. Jax tried to do right by his friend and teammate Vince but he and Grace were so pulled together; that they just couldn't stay away from each other and deny their attraction. Their story was hot, passionate, and full of love when either of them least expected it. I also really liked how Jax dug down deep and saw what an amazing person Grace was on the inside; not just what she thought she was expected to be. I was so happy when they were able to reunite and not have to hide their relationship anymore.
MEET KANDI STEINER
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.
