About this ebook

He can block every shot on the ice…except the one straight to his heart.

Victor Reed has crushed opponents on the ice for over a decade—but nothing knocks the grumpy, foul-mouthed defenseman off his game like being forced to share his off-season home with his four-year-old whirlwind niece, Pip…and her maddeningly cheerful nanny.

Belle is all sunshine and sparkles, the kind of woman who hums while she folds laundry and believes every problem can be solved with kindness. Victor’s convinced she was sent to torment him—until she downloads a dating app and starts lining up dates with men who are absolutely wrong for her.

He’s not jealous. Definitely not.

He’s just…protective. And if he “accidentally” scares off a few of her suitors? Well, someone has to keep her safe.

But when Belle’s big heart starts drifting out of his orbit, Victor is forced to face the truth: the Baltimore Stingrays’ resident beast has fallen for his beauty. And if he doesn’t change his game fast, he might lose the only woman who’s ever made his house—and his life—feel like home.

He can block every shot on the ice…except the one straight to his heart. Victor Reed has crushed opponents on the ice for over a decade—but nothing knocks the grumpy, foul-mouthed defenseman off his game like being forced to share his off-season home with his four-year-old whirlwind niece, Pip…an...

Loving the Stingrays! I cannot put them down once I pick the stories. This one is no exception. I loved every bit of it from beginning to end. This is the fifth story in the hockey series. Although there are connected characters, this story can be enjoyed as a stand alone read. I was excited about this one, which is about Victor and Belle, a little grumpy and a bit of sunshine. I enjoyed this story so much! I love the characters! I love watching this veteran player fall. This is such a go

Victor can no longer resist the pull of Belle who is not staying in the nanny line he tries to keep her. Loved the development of Victor and Belle's relationship and how much they resisted, meant that the attraction grew. The way Victor cared for his niece was so sweet and just heart-melting. Okay, panty melting. Another excellent book in this wonderful series!.

RECLAIM is the fifth in Mari Carr's completely delicious Stingrays Hockey series. Victor Reed is a veteran player on his team, and his teammates are quite familiar with his beyond gruff outlook on life and his essentially permanent resting grump face. When his widowed sister Vivian needs him to take primary guardianship of his niece for his off-season, he's thrilled that Pip will be moving in, and less thrilled that Pip's beautiful, sunshine-y nanny will also be for the duration.
