Grady is broken inside because of what happen in the past but he want to face his fear even it’s hard. Mia and him know each other for a long time but they disn't cross that line mostly cause she’s his bestfriend's ittle sister. But what will happened when they have to share a space for two days out of everything? Will they be able to resist one another? Is the past will tears them apart?
As usual Piper Rayne keeps me wanting to know more and more. The humour, the love it’s so great. I really love the friendship Grady share with his buddies Dax and Beckett. This story was powerful i recognize myself in this and i enjoyed it.

Once again, Piper Rayne has hit it out of the park! Cold As Ice, book #1 in the Bedroom Games, is the story of Grady Kale and Mia Salter who are both headed to the Winter Games to compete.
The problem, you ask? Well, Mia is Grady’s ex best friends little sister who has had a crush on Grady for YEARS. However, four years ago a tragic accident has changed everything between the two of them and they haven’t spoken since. Now Grady and Mia are stuck together promoting their team in the Winter Games and have to learn to play nice in the public eye.
Cold As Ice was truly enjoyable. It has just the right amount of angst, it was hilarious and oh so sexy. I enjoyed seeing the shift in the relationship between Grady and Mia and the conversations between Grady and his friends (Dex and Beckett) had me laughing out loud! Even though I’m not a snowboarding fan, it was definitely a good change of pace from the normal sports stories and I enjoyed it!
Piper Rayne has given us a fun enemies to lovers sports rom com with a touch of drama thrown in for good measure. I am looking forward to all of the books in the Bedroom Games series!!

Cold as Ice was definitely hot enough to burn up the pages at each turn. Grady and Mia will lure you in with their fiesty banter but will captivate you with their scorching chemistry. If you're looking for a quick hot read definitely grab this amazing book, you won't be able to put it down!

My brothers best friend romance trope but with snow and snowboarding. There’s not much to this one except two snowboarders thrown together in a tour before a major competition. They share a history in that Grady feels guilty for a career ending injury to Mia’s brother which resulted in Grady never speaking with Mia’s brother again.
If you can get past that, and get over why on earth Mia would want to be with this douche (apart from the obvious), then this book might be for you. Grady is an A-grade blow hard and as much as his character is somewhat softened but he romance I just couldn’t warm to him. There was chemistry but it felt more like a crush to me. Too much ego and too little substance.

Grady Kale is headed to the Winter Classics in snowboarding where he is the reigning gold medal champion.
Mia Salter is an up and coming female snowboarder who just happens to be the sister of Grady's ex-best friend, Brandon, who happens to hate Grady.
When Grady and Mia are forced to go on a press tour together, things begin to heat up between the two of them but will their past cause problems between them?
This was such a great and fun book about overcoming mistakes and family issues to perhaps have a future together.
I liked Grady and knew that there was definitely something that happened in the past that he had guilt over regarding Brandon and I knew it had to be big. As the book goes on you learn more and figure it all out but with the way "boys" compete you knew deep down that it was something that was just a freak accident.
I liked Mia and understood why they felt deserted after the accident but I could see the guilt that Grady felt. Mia and Grady had so much chemistry you knew something was bound to happen and I loved the way that it all went down.
There was so much tension at the family dinner that I knew things were about to go sideways! I loved the conversation that Grady had with Matt Peterson to figure things out!
The end was awesome and I look forward to the next book!

This was a quick and fun read. Grady and Mia had some fun chemistry, and they also had some serious history. I liked the brother’s best friend trope here, and I also liked the forced proximity and enemies to lovers tropes.

I don't have much to say about this book, other than it felt too short. I think it could have gone into other characters' storylines or expanded on the main one even more. I finished it late at night, but I kept thinking that there was more to read to it the following day.
