Publisher Description
Two years ago he took a slap shot to the heart…
Mike Beacon is a champion at defending the goal, but life has been harder off the ice. For a brief time he had everything. But he gave it up when his family needed him.
Now a widower and a single father, he’s never forgotten Lauren Williams, the ex who gave him the best year of his life. When she reappears in the Bruisers office during the playoffs, Beacon sees his chance to make things right again.
Lauren hates traveling with the team she used to work for and the man who broke her heart. There’s still undeniable sexual tension between them, but she won’t give in again. She’s focused on her plans for the future—a new job, and a bundle of joy. No man is necessary, thank you very much. Even if she’s still in love with him…

4 "In Safe Hands" Stars
Lauren has earned the reputation as an Ice Princess, and not without merit, so much so she even has a glare named after her. Going by what we’ve previously seen of the right hand woman to the team’s manager, she’s stand offish and has made her resentment at being at the club rather clear. The time and distance away from the stadium have been therapeutic but she is in no way looking forward to being back, or the prospect of running into the team’s goalie, Mike Beacon.
As a result of misplaced good intentions, Mike let the best thing that ever happened to him slip through the net. His attempts to break the ice are not forth coming but he did not reach his level of success without hard graft and tenacity. Although Lauren has her guard up, he makes it his mission to break through her defences.
I was so impressed by how little unnecessary drama there was. Mike and Lauren were such likeable characters and I so much enjoyed cheering them on toward their much deserved happiness. Pipe Dreams is the perfect hat trick to a series that comes to an end much too soon for my liking.
And on that note *cough* Nate& Becca's story *cough*
