BOOKWORM REVIEW: Game Changer by Piper Lawson

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
SPICE: 🔥🔥.5

Listen, it has been a hot minute since I've enjoyed a basketball romance. I'm trying to remember if I have even fallen in love with a fictional basketball player this hard since Nathan Freaking Scott. #Naley4Life

Nova has always been the messy sister. Now she's on a plane trying to overcome her fear of flying to help plan her more organized, more together sister's wedding. It does not help that the gorgeous guy sitting next to her just adds fuel to her rambling and self-consciousness. She runs off to the airplane bathroom only to have him follow and help her with her anxiety. 

The next time she sees Clayton Wade, it is at his job as the leading scorer for Denver. The same team that her sister's fiancé oversees as the GM.  The close proximity over the month she's pledged to be by her sister's side has also created an opportunity for a friendship with Clay. A friendship laden with tension, banter, and mutual support that each one did not expect from each other.

I. Was. Hooked. The chemistry between these two was hot from the get-go. Clay is a broody, all-business guy, and somehow Nova and her rays of sunshine have seeped into the darkness he has firmly planted himself. I love that they bring out the best in each other despite their resistance against the feelings that linger underneath their friendship. 

I may have screeched like a banshee -- yes, like a banshee -- when this ended in somewhat of a cliffy. Only my idiot self would neglect to read that this is the first of a trilogy. You can also call me a sucker, because I am already counting down the days to the next one.

ABOUT THE BOOK

After being dumped and losing my job the same week, the last thing my broken heart needs is a rebound.

I'm escaping across the country to help my perfect sister plan her dream wedding, and to prove to both of us everything is under control.

But a combination of tequila and turbulence on the flight there lead to word-vomiting all my troubles to the huge and handsome stranger in the first-class seat next to mine.

Only his whispered dirty diversions keep me sane until landing.

Despite the spark of attraction, we go our separate ways.

Or so I thought.

Turns out the tall, muscular, tattooed tower of a man from the plane is the star player on my future brother-in-law's pro basketball team.

Clay is the last person I should gravitate toward. They're called "players" for a reason.

Grumpy and cynical, he carries a weight on his shoulders I can't possibly fathom.

He's also the only one who knows my secrets and gets my heart racing.

The more we're thrust together, the stronger the chemistry between us becomes.

Hooking up with the all-star athlete isn't the way to get my life on track...but it could just be the game changer we've both been searching for.
