★ Scarlett’s Banter ★

Sexy as Sin Filthy Rich Book Boyfriends.

Red-Hot Passion.

“You can’t touch her.”

 I bet you that’s the conversation every big brother has with his best friend when it comes to his little sister. Just like in real life, it’s the perfect setting for a forbidden romance we’re both the hero and heroine have to keep a secret from her overprotective big brother.

I particularly love when the heroine is a disruptor and her desire for her older brother’s best friend is so overwhelming, she’s willing to put it all on the line to get what she wants… her brother’s best friend.

Always good and this is exactly what Kandi Steiner plotted in her newest release.

Watch Your Mouth is book two in the Kings of the Ice series: a series of interconnected standalones following a team of professional hockey players and the women who bring them to their knees.

Tell me you’re not itching to one click this book after reading the following blurb:

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.

Speaking of brother’s best friend romance…

Rhys Hartford is brother’s best friend romance perfection. It’s my first attempt at this genre and certainly not my last. The best part is how/when the older brother finds out his friend has been messing around with his baby sister. So much potential for drama.

A lot of you discovered me via my Billionaire Moguls series, featuring panti-melter Rhys Hartford, but if you haven’t read Rhys and Keira’s romance yet, you get to read it at the time of the year where you can snuggle under a comfy blanket and enjoy your favorite hot beverage. Now, that’s what I call bookish Nirvana.

Here’s why I can no longer fit into my clothes…

Please note, this is a tiny, tiny, tiny sample of all the amazing food I eat while I was in France. I went up by two clothes size. I’m not even kidding. I’m determined to be on a diet until I go back to my normal weight. I definitely have to drop some weight before the Christmas holidays because I don’t intend on buying a whole new wardrobe. That said, I don’t regret the many calories I ingested. It was worth it.

That’s it for me!

Happy reading!
