Stand Your Ground by Kandi Steiner is now live! I wrote up the contract myself. Legally binding. Crystal clear. No strings. No feelings. Just sex — and two million dollars in exchange for my time and expertise. Carter Fabri may be Tampa Bay’s newest rising star, but off the ice, he’s all Bambi eyes and inexperience. He’s a virgin in desperate need of lessons in dominance, seduction, and everything in between. And I happen to be just the woman to teach him. I don’t need his money. But I do need what it can give me. I’m thirty-two, cut off from my family, and one bill away from drowning in student debt. The fantasy I’ve built around my lifestyle is getting harder to maintain. This pay day would secure the lifestyle I’ve worked too hard to let slip through my fingers and finally give me the chance to save for something I’ve always wanted — something I’ve never told anyone about. So, I take Carter on as my student. I lay out every rule, every boundary, every carefully controlled term of our arrangement. What I don’t plan for is how quickly he’d catch on — or how much I’d enjoy letting him take the reins. This was supposed to be a lesson in power. But somewhere along the way, I stopped being the one in charge. I thought I could keep my heart out of it. I thought I’d accounted for every risk. But some consequences you can’t predict — no matter how carefully you draft the terms. Download today or read for FREE with #kindleunlimited!

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
Stand Your Ground is the latest book in Kandi Steiner’s Kings of the Ice series. I thought popsicles were hot with Will and Chloe, but they have nothing on the sexy love lessons between jokester Cartera and Domme Livia in this book!
Carter has always had a bit of a crush on Livia, the team dentist, but she’s always written him off as a harmless flirt. Now, virgin Carter is looking for some help in the bedroom, and hopes that Domme Liv can be the one to help him get over the mental block he has when it comes to dealing with the ladies. This story ends up being so much more than spicy love lessons, however.
Both Carter and Livia have some emotional baggage. By giving himself over to her, Carter discovers how to build himself up again, restore his self-esteem, which was crushed by a previous coach and left him constantly second-guessing himself. Meanwhile, Livia has some trauma of her own, thus the reason why she likes to take control in the bedroom. But somehow, during her “lessons” with Carter, she learned how to trust and rely on him to take care of her in a way she had never before. KS wrote two beautiful characters and their vulnerability with one another was endearing. Both Carter and Liv grew so much from the start of this story to the end, and their opposite personalities balanced each other out.
I love this group of friends and how they show up for one another. The way the guys stepped up to help Carter woo Liv and make a grand gesture was so cute, and I was so happy that Liv had the support of her girlfriends after learning what she’d gone through with her parents.
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
