He's always made the scoring plays, both on and off the ice, but this time he has a new goal ... the one for Meghan's heart. I'm Justin Davis, all-star center for the Charlotte Strikers. For years, I chased the spotlight, not only with hockey, but through television as well. That's why I decided to play the bachelor on Rich and Single. Unfortunately, I was stuck with a fake fiancée from hell who I couldn't stand to be around. Now that our contract is up, I'm allowed to do whatever I want, with whoever I want. I plan to take full advantage of my newfound freedom. After being on the show, people don't recognize me for hockey anymore, even with just winning the Stanley Cup for my team. That's why I'm spending the off season in a remote cabin in Wyoming where the chances of people knowing me are slim. Space is what I need, but when a down to earth beauty needs help on her ranch, I can't resist. Meghan Taylor is exactly what I've been looking for, even though I'm not the kind of man she wants. Getting her to see the real me has its challenges, but the more time I spend with her, the easier it is for her to see that I'm not the same guy she knows from TV. Being away from the media is one thing, but as soon as I go back in the spotlight, I'm afraid it'll change what we have. I don't want to lose her, but I also can't hide away in Wyoming forever. It's a choice I'm not ready to make.… (mehr)

**I received a review copy of this book in exchange for an honest voluntary review. All opinions are my own and not influenced by my source.**

I was worried we weren't going to get Justin's story so I was SO HAPPY this book was coming out.

This wasn't the story I expect for Justin, but I think that makes it that much sweeter. I really enjoyed this character driven romance. Both leads take their time to get to know each other and there are so many things at play that it makes for a solid romance novel.

My favourite part of this novel is that we don't get hung up on all the petty drama. These two are great at communicating so we don't dwell on things too long or create melodramatic plot twists. It's just a well done romance story that will definitely melt your heart a little bit.

It's a great way to wrap up this series--or get you started!

L.P. Dover is on a winning streak with OFF THE ICE the fourth book in the Breakaway series. Charlotte Strikers’ center, Justin Davis, cannot go to many places without be recognized, because not only did his team just win the Stanley Cup, but he was also the recent bachelor on the Rich and Singe reality show. After breaking up with his fake fiancée on national television, Justin decides to spend the summer at the secluded ranch he recently purchased in Wyoming. When he meets his new next-door neighbor, Meghan Taylor, he likes that he can be himself around her. Now he just needs to convince her that he’s not the arrogant athlete the media portrays him as. This contemporary sports romance is suitable for adult audiences.

I really enjoyed this book. I was looking forward to hearing Justin’s story ever since I read book two, BLOCKED. Justin is Callie Davis’ brother and teammate of Dallas Easton from that story. I liked learning more about Justin. He has grown up a lot through this series. He really is a great guy. I love how he helps Meghan with stuff around her ranch. He’s down to earth and not what the media portrays. Meghan is a sweet character. My heart went out to her being widowed so young. She is a hard worker and good mother.

The two make a wonderful couple. They have a lot of interesting obstacles they need to overcome, including dealing with Justin’s psychotic ex-fiancée; she is a piece of work. Meghan wants what is best for her daughter and is afraid to throw her in the spotlight that comes with being with Justin.

The story was skillfully written and flowed well. I read the story quickly, not being able to put it down. I enjoyed the ending. It was sweet and made the story feel complete. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book. ( )
