This is very steamy and explicitly erotic book. The author stayed away from the typical cliche scenarios commonly found in these type of books. I'm not always a fan of 'friends to lovers' plots, but this book worked for me. Their relationship, though at times frustrating, was spicy, humorous, and touching.

Just like in The Perfect the Play, the characters were richly developed, engaging, and lovable. Burton could take an unlikable character, Elizabeth Darnell, from The Perfect Play, and make her not only likable, but also the next heroine in the series. 4 ½ stars!Ĭhanging the Game is the second book in Jaci Burton's Play by Play series. 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. Mick was a total d*ck, no pun intended, to Gavin and Liz and tried his best to tear them apart. The author does a good job explaining her hidden insecurity and vulnerability and making her into a sympathetic heroine. 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. 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. I really enjoyed this, although not quite as much as The Perfect Play.

Gavin fresh from the shower after a grueling game: *naughty grin*Īfter 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.Īllow me to offer some additional. 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.

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. 4 ½ stars – Contemporary/Sports Erotic Romance
