Kandi Steiner's Watch Your Mouth had a lot going on from an age gap to opposites attract to the angst-inducing brother's best friend scenario with a road trip thrown in, yet this author made it work for a great story that ultimately brought out the best in everyone.

When hockey defenseman Jaxson Brittain met his teammate and best friend's little sister Grace Tanev their attraction was instant and magnetic even while Jaxson knew that no matter how much he was drawn to Grace they could never pursue their attraction. Jaxson was serious and regimented, a loyal and reliable friend with lots of hidden layers. Grace was a free spirit who wore her heart on her sleeve and had not an ounce of pretense in her, what you saw was what you got.

This couple's dynamic was captivating from the start. Jaxson and Grace's ability to see past each other's exteriors and find their self worth’s in the process added a nice depth to this story. This story got real but was eased into the harder moments with a levity and charm that allowed the characters to see the light in their darkness, giving them a chance to experience a real bond before dealing with larger more difficult issues. There was a lot of spicy chemistry that felt authentic and kept this story heated. The comradery between Jaxson and Grace was engaging and Ms. Steiner did an exceptional job with this couple's exchanges.

Without a doubt you can expect to have lots of emotional moments in a Kandi Steiner work. Her character's layers are vast and absorbing leaving readers with lots to dig through and explore. Her portrayals are memorable and relatable as they navigate their personal issues that show not only their good traits but their flaws in bold sweeping moments. Watch Your Mouth could easily be called watch your heart as readers fall in love with Kandi Steiner's next book in her Kings of the Ice series!
