Changing the Game (Play by Play #2)
3.4 Fiery STARS "Sometimes your world falls apart. And its okay for you to let people in and let them see you crumble." So I read this back in 2014, but for some reason I wanted to go back to it, so here I am doing a proper review this time. So first things first, I havent read book 1. Not the first time I read this series, not now. For some reason I just never was interested into read the first book, and since they are basically standole where you just meet the characters in the previous
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways This quote from Elizabeth Barrett Browning is so fitting for how I felt after reading Jaci Burtons newest addition to her Play by Play series, Changing the Game. Simply put, I LOVED it! In fact I think it is the best Contemporary Erotic Romance Ive read this year. I have mad love for Gavin and Lizlike, if I had to actually make a list of the things I love about the book, we would be here for a long, long time. I pretty much loved everything about it with
If I were to compare The Perfect Play versus Jaci Burton's latest installment, Changing the Game ... in my opinion of course, I would say I liked Gavin's story with Liz a lot more than Mick and Tara's. Looking back, I felt as if Mick fell in love with Tara way too fast? So it was kind of unrealistic. While at least Liz and Gavin both went into this "thing" between them knowing that it was just a fling and something fun. Or was it really? I guess I have a thing for unrequited love and Liz's
This review was posted at Under The CoversWOW! I devoured this book! It must've been all the excitement and anticipation, or maybe just the fact that for the first 50% - 60% the chemistry and raw sensuality between Liz and Gavin was just amazing! Of course, there's the sinful cover to consider too, which I kept picturing every time I read about Gavin. I definetely shouldn't have started the book in the morning BEFORE going to work and then reading DURING LUNCH. You do not want to have your
Honey, love is always complicated. If it was easy, thered be no fun when you win at the end. Ok so I do realize that Ive been reading this series way out of order. I started off with book 8 (Straddling the Line) and now here I am back at book 2, Changing the Game. I didnt particularly think this series was anything worth writing home about after I read Straddling the Line so I went into Changing the Game with pretty low expectations. Im happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how
I had never read a Jaci Burton book before, but I knew two things: she writes sports romance, and she is a very popular author. I do get the appeal - Changing the Game was a fun and sexy read, but that was about it. And sometimes that is all you need.Liz was my kind of heroine. A smart and ambitious professional, she dedicated herself to her career as a sports agent. But that dedication came at the expense of relationships and, on occasion, a conscience. Oh, and she is in love with her client,

Description In Favor Of Books Changing the Game (Play by Play #2)
4 ½ stars – Contemporary/Sports Erotic Romance Thoughts Before Reading NOT that I'm complaining at all about the masculine perfection of this cover 'cause HELLO, just look at those mouthwateringly yummy shoulders and biceps...GRRR! But, don't baseball players usually have a little more junk in their trunk and thicker thighs? I think I have an obligation to read this (as purely scientific study of course) to find out. *naughty grin* Thoughts After Reading After careful review and scientific analysis, I have determined that this cover model, albeit delicious in his own right, isn’t a totally adequate representation for the studtastic hotness that is Gavin Riley. Allow me to offer some additional...ahem...visual demonstrations. Gavin thinking about Liz: Gavin fresh from the shower after a grueling game: Gavin lazing around in jeans: I really enjoyed this, although not quite as much as The Perfect Play. Gavin and Liz are seriously smokin’ hot together and scorch the sheets, the balcony, the shower, the floor, the couch, the kitchen counter, and just about any and every surface they touch. Gavin is yummy of course, but I was surprised by how much I ended up liking and rooting for Liz after her outright display of utter bitchiness in The Perfect Play. The author does a good job explaining her hidden insecurity and vulnerability and making her into a sympathetic heroine. Mick was a total d*ck, no pun intended, to Gavin and Liz and tried his best to tear them apart. Luckily he eventually came around because otherwise I was going to have to pummel him, which would have been a damn shame considering how much I loved him in The Perfect Play. 4 ½ stars!Define Books In Pursuance Of Changing the Game (Play by Play #2)

Jaci Burton hit this one out of the park!!! GOOOOOD GAWD Gavin is one of the sexiest men I have read about. He goes up there with Cord McKay from Lorelei James' Rough Rider series, and from me that is saying alot.Because of her actions in The Perfect Play, I didn't think I could like Liz, but JB pulled it off and made me understand her actions and totally like Liz.The smexing was uber hot and some of the best I've read =)Changing The Game is up there with Chasin' Eight as one of my favorite3.4 Fiery STARS "Sometimes your world falls apart.
