Blurb:

Welcome to Destiny Falls, New York, home of Bomb Squad--an ice hockey team full of rugged military heroes. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has the team captain packing his bags for greener pastures, but saying good-bye to the woman who'd captured his heart is easier said than done...
 
After being wounded in combat, Brandon Theroux lives every day like it's his last. He never could have imagined that the sleek mechanics of his prosthetic leg would open so many doors, including minor celebrity status as a fitness model and a well-earned reputation as a rakish playboy. The only door it hasn't opened is the one to Harper Johnson's bedroom.
 
Harper has too much self-respect to join the ranks of Brandon's "carpe diem" conquests, but when she needs someone to keep the peace in the tavern she owns, Brandon offers his help--as long as she agrees to a very tempting trade. It isn't long before the two realize that a deal struck between friends who can't keep their hands off each other has the potential to be a whole lot hotter than either of them is prepared to handle...




The kind of book is an unpredictable book, and Game Changer would throw you into a frenzy of unexpected situations!

The way this book started, I couldn't imagine how it could possibly go on like a typical romance novel. However, the more I read, the more I fell in love with the characters. It was a slow burn, as true love usually tend to be. I witnessed the characters appreciate each other as human beings, and it was surely something to cherish.

Harper was such an independent woman that she needed no one but herself. I strive to be this kind of woman, but I also fear of loneliness. Harper seemed lonely at times, but Brandon somehow was by her side when she needed him the most.

Brandon was actually younger than Harper and he liked to sleep around just so he could rub it on Harper's face. I didn't realize how sensitive Brandon was until when it counted. The way he repeatedly chanted "You are not alone" almost made me bawl my eyes out when I was reading this book. 

The way Harper blossomed was so beautiful and her friendship with Brandon was something to yearn for. If you like riding an emotional roller coaster when reading a book but still having fun doing it, I would highly suggest this book.

He’s always loved her… 

First Sergeant Gale Sorren waited a war and half a lifetime for a chance to get stationed near the ex-wife who left him years ago. When he finally musters the courage to see her, the life he imagined she was living was nothing close to the reality. 

She’s never stopped loving him… 

Melanie never stopped worrying about Gale each time he headed off to war. But he’s never been there when she needed him and she’s had fifteen years to steel her heart against him. 

But when Gale moves to Fort Hood, he finally has a chance to make things right with Melanie and the daughter she raised without him. 

Can Mel trust her heart to a man who has always let her down?




My favorite Jessica Scott novel yet!

This story was so realistic, that it was actually funny! Reading about Gale's struggle to be a father was so entertaining. Honestly, I would continue reading this book if it happened to be 600 pages, simply because I loved the way that the characters interacted with each other.

This book certainly did not disappoint. It was not predictable, which was good. Also, the attraction between Gale and Melanie was real from the very start. It was interesting to ponder the idea that a divorced couple would fall for each other again. 

Check out some of my favorite quotes/scenes from Gale below:

Talking to his daughter:
"...I would like to keep my illusions that you're not ready to hit the stripper pole just yet, if that's okay with you."

"And if you value my freedom at all, you'll keep horny boys away from you so that I don't go to prison for beating any of them up."

Talking to his commander, Teague:
Gale: "I'm having an existential parenting crisis."
Teague: That's a hell of a sentence. Can you even spell 'existential'?"

Gale's thoughts:
Maybe it was the military that had been drilled into the fiber of who he was, maybe he was just fucking old, but the multicolored hair had to go. And the black nail polish. That shit, too.


Overall, this book was a must-read! I was literally laughing to myself while I read this book!
