Break the Ice, an all-new standalone and the conclusion to the hilarious Bedroom Games series from bestselling authors Piper Rayne is live!
The Winter Games are over, but the bedroom games are just beginning…
This is about the time I normally hang up my snowboard and chill for a while. Except this year. This year, I’m dealing with what fate dealt me at the Winter Games—nope, not gold. A broken leg.
Since I’m not close to my family, I head to my best friend, Skylar’s pad to recoup. Turns out having your gorgeous, single, sexy friend wait on you hand and foot can blur the lines between friendship and romance.
Which is exactly why I’ve decided to help her find a boyfriend.
Yeah, you heard me right. I’m going to help her comb through every dating app available until she finds the perfect man. What else could remind me of my place in her life more than watching her fall for someone else?
I can deal. I’m used to pushing through pain. I’m an Olympian after all.
Excerpt
“Sky.” I follow her down the hall and up the stairs. “You need...” I swallow down the bile burning my throat.
She turns around when she reaches her childhood bedroom door. The same room that has pictures of Ben on her corkboard from some dance way back when. The room that holds all her memories of a happy childhood filled with fun, laughter and love. Doesn’t she realize, she has so much?
“What?”
“You need a date.”
Did that really just come out of my mouth?
“A date?”
I grab her hand and take her into my room, which is really her brother’s childhood room, and sit her down on the bed.
“Yeah, give me your phone.”
She digs it out of her pocket and places it in my palm.
I search the app store and select a dating app.
“GeekMatch?”
“Yep.”
“What about the more traditional ones?” she asks, leaning over to look at my phone. Her hair tickles my neck, and the scent of her perfume makes my dick twitch in my pants.
“You need a beta, remember?”
“Hmm.”
I go through her selfies and select one that doesn’t show how truly gorgeous she is. It’s hard to find one though because Skylar doesn’t have any bad pictures.
“I’m not sure about this, Beck.”
I fill out her form for her while she remains silent. Once I’m done, I hand it back over to her and she stares at the screen for a long time.
Our thighs are pressed against one another and I’m fairly sure the electricity running through my body is buzzing through hers, but her gaze is still glued to her phone.
“Okay,” she says, still sounding reluctant.
“Perfect. Now, Terminator.”
She smiles and her lips brush my cheek. “Sorry, for being so needy.”
“It’s the hazard of having girl friends, I suppose.”
“Friends?”
“Friend,” I clarify, standing up before my hands and lips listen to the instructions from my dick.
“You’ll help me pick someone out?” she asks.
“Of course.”
She walks out of my room, her gaze glued to her phone. I follow with my gaze glued to her ass.

Review
Skylar Walsh has worked hard to get where she is, but lately she's been feeling like she's been missing something. She loves her best friend and wants a future with him, if only he'd let her in.
Beckett Meyers has always felt like he wasn't good enough except when out on the powder. Up until now he's been able to keep his feelings for Skylar in check, but spending time with her in close quarters while he recovers is proving difficult.
Beckett finally gives up the fight and capture the woman that holds his heart. But when the light of a new day shines, Beckett's insecurities begin to show.
Will he be finally be able to put his past behind him and claim a future with the woman he loves or will he push Skylar away ending any chance for a relationship as friends or otherwise?
Break The Ice is a fun, witty, page-turning read that captivates the reader from start to finish.
I love how Beckett and Sylar know each so well, yet still have much to learn about each other. Their connection has grown over the years which only serves to show how much they mean to each other.
Skylar wears her heart on her sleeve, she loves her friends and family with her whole being and is always there for them when they need her. I admire her ability to go after what she wants and willingness to stand her ground to get it.
Beckett may need a hit over the head from time to time, but in the end you can't help but love him. He may feel like he doesn't deserve the best life has to give, but he'll do anything and everything to make sure those he cares about do. I really admire how he knows just how special Skylar the moment he lays on her.
I really loved Break The Ice with it's exciting storyline, engaging banter, broken yet lovable hero, strong and caring heroine, and slow burning romance that once ignites never dwindles.
I highly recommend that you don't miss this Piper Rayne series and especially Break The Ice. Beckett may take some time to open up completely, but once he does your heart will skip a beat and fall hard.

About Piper
Piper Rayne, or Piper and Rayne, whichever you prefer because we’re not one author, we’re two. Yep, you get two USA Today Bestselling authors for the price of one. You might be wondering if you know us? Maybe you’ll read our books and figure it out. Maybe you won’t. Does it really matter?
We aren’t trying to stamp ourselves with a top-secret label. We wanted to write without apology. We wanted to not be pigeon-holed into a specific type of story. Everyone has their favorite authors, right? And when you pick up their books, you expect something from them. Whether it’s an alpha male, heavy angst, a happily ever after, there’s something you are absolutely certain the book will contain. Heck, we’re readers, too, we get it!
All that, AND we thought it'd be a helluva lot more fun if we did this writing thing together!
What can we tell you about ourselves? We both have kindle’s full of one-clickable books. We're both married to husbands who drive us to drink. We're both chauffeurs to our kids. Most of all, we love hot heroes, quirky heroines that make us laugh, and lots of sexy times. Here's hoping you do, too!
