This is the final book in the Bedroom Games Trilogy.

To those who have the guts to risk friendship for love...

This is a quick but fantastic read! We finally get the deep and dirty story of Skylar and Beckett.  In the first two books of the series you see that these two just HAVE to get together, everybody can see it!

Beckett has a wheelbarrow of issues that hold him back from crossing the friendship line with Skylar and you just want to beat him about the head and shoulders and tell him "You are deserving!" Take the leap, do it before it's too late!

Skylar is hiding her vulnerabilities, keeping them close to her chest until she can't take it anymore and she gives and good as she gets.

I am so glad that after some moguls (keeping the theme here!) in their relationship, they decided to take the leap and get their happily ever after!

And as always, I love the tease of secondary characters and I know that the Dynamic Duo has another series on the horizon! 

Thank you for your stories!

After the Winter Games are over, Beckett Myers comes back home with a broken arm and, being that he doesn’t have family, he’s spending his recovery with his best friend Skylar Walsh. Weird you say? Nooo, Beckett and Skylar have been best friends for years now and it doesn’t surprise anyone they’re spending time alone at her parents’ home in Chicago after the games.
This time around, Skylar is disappointed about the outcome of the competition and is questioning the right path for her future, wondering if it’s time to set up roots, go to school, maybe start a family. Beckett will suggest she starts dating, but with that will come the ever present question of his real feelings for Skylar and the friendship line will definitely start to blur.
Piper Rayne hit the mark once again. Not all friends to lovers stories are the same and this one definitely touched my heart in a very personal way. Having been there and having made the choice myself, gave me an inside feel into this story.
I loved both Beckett and Skylar, but I seriously wanted to throttle Chelsea more than one time, but I digress. I liked the characters, the story and everything about them, except Chelsea’s meddling. I can understand her, but darn, she was a pain!
Bottom line, Break the Ice is a beautiful story about friendship and love and it was a great closing to this series. I can’t wait for these ladies next project!

Again, this book was way too short. I want more! This book did however surprise me in a good way! With On Thin Ice, I knew I was going to like it, because it has my favorite trope in it, enemies-to-lovers. Friends-to-lovers trope however I don’t read all that much, I don’t know why, because I do like it. I didn’t expect much from the book, because I already saw bits and pieces of Skylar and Beckett in the previous two books of course, but I wanted to complete the series and every book by Piper Rayne is more than worth it to read it, so I started anyway and it was more than good.

The tension between Beckett and Skylar is exactly right, they feel like real people to me and I adored both of their personalities. Long story short, I think this book is amazing as well as the previous two in this series and really makes a good ending to this series –unless you’re one of the lucky bastards who bought the Bedroom Games Ebook boxsets and got the short story starring Brandon, I’m one of those lucky bastards so I’m off to la-la reading land and this series just one more time.

Total recommendation! Duh.

4/5 stars.

This is an entertaining, fun, quick read. Beckett and Skylar are interesting, complex, relatable, wounded, intriguing, complicated, entertaining characters.  I enjoyed their romance and how they got to their HEA. The secondary characters added to the fabric of the story and my enjoyment. I love the family and found-family aspects of the story and the roles those characters played. I also love that we got to see characters who get their own books and those from prior series make appearances. The story is easy to read and get into.

Makes me want to slap Beckett

Beckett and Am glad have intrigued me since the start! Beckett frustrated me because I kept wanting to yell at him! Lol their friendship was filled with respect and love. These two made you want to cheer them on. Take a ride with them as they work out their feelings after 4 years of friendship! Piper Rayne know how to keep you engaged and make you want to keep turning these pages! Pick this book up you will not be disappointed!

Achja. Ich liebe an sich ja die Bücher des Autorenduos. Aber diese Reihe ist recht kurzweilig und nicht das was sich sonst so gewohnt bin.
Trotzdem habe ich mich noch gefreut die Geschichte von Beckett und Skylar gefreut. Beckett ist schon lange in seine beste Freundin verliebt, nur hält er es ja für besser die Freundschaft zu wahren. Auf Grund seiner Kindheit/Vergangenheit hält er sich quasi nicht für gut genug. Die Sache mit den Datingapps kann ja nur schief gehen, schließlich bekommt Beckett umso mehr gezeigt wie toll Skylar ist. Es gibt sogar einen kleinen Auftritt von Charaktere aus anderen Büchern. Ich musste hier sehr schmunzeln.
Was ich aber an dieser Reihe mochte, war das nur aus der Sichte des männlichen Charaktere die Geschichte erzählt wurde.

Beckett and Skylar are friends for a while and they seems to get closer with the previous books of this series.
Beckett is the kind guy who give wise advice for his buddies about girls but didn’t care to get this advices for himself. He kind and gentle but he’s also insecure and he don’t really loosen up. He just want Skylar to be happy but it’s that mean he’s ready to be happy with her?
He is blind with his feelings and he have to get trough his own problems and man up. Fortunately his buddies are here to help him. It was a great story, not the best a think but i really love Piper Rayne’s writing.
