Win at any cost. That's always been the mantra of sports agent Liz Darnell. When she carries things too far and risks losing her number-one client, baseball pro Gavin Riley, Liz realizes that she'll have to work extra innings to win him back. It might not be too much of a stretch. She's had a thing for this player's moves since she first laid eyes on him, and by the looks of it, he wants her just as bad.

Gavin's more than ready - especially when Liz is offering herself as part of the bargain. And as much of her as Gavin wants. For added thrills, he decides to throw a little curve ball Liz's way to see just how far she's truly willing to go to keep him as a client. But when love unexpectedly enters the playing field, neither Liz nor Gavin is ready for the biggest game-changer of them all.

This book was smoking hot! Far better than book one and hopefully an indication of books to come. The narrator is awful, but that's the worst of any major negative aspects of the story.

Horrible narrator aside, there are some books that I can immediately listen to for a second round, and this story is in that category for me. It was funny, romantic, just enough drama to make my mouth gape open a few times, and super super sexy!

SIZZLING HOT!

This story has lots of emotional ups and downs and characters were carried over from book 1. It was a terrific storyline and smokin hot. Great narration by Lucy Malone.

Excellent, exciting and very hot

First of all I give 5 stars to whoever is responsible for the cover picture - get a load of that...... oh and those...... not to mention the...... (right girls).

Anyway enough drooling back to the contents, I'm afraid at the start I was a bit disappointed in the first half of this book for the following reasons 1) there seemed to be a lot of 'motion' and not enough emotion or storyline..... a little conversation then sex, play Xbox then hot sex, coffee then sex, oh look at that view then.... yup you got it sex - well you get the picture. Don't get me wrong I like these types of books but there just wasn't a strong enough story to go with the repetitive sex for a lot of the book. 2) I had a little trouble at the start liking or connecting with either Liz or Gavin much as, from book 1, each of them seemed selfish and 3) there was plenty of dissing Mick from book 1 and not enough explaining or recapping just why he didn't like Liz or giving what his understandable reason was.

Having said that, as the story progressed we see more of Liz and Gavin's character traits being peeled away and their vulnerabilities and histories were revealed and the final half just sucked me right in - there was drama, conflict, arguments, heartache, passion and it was sweet, romantic and had a couple of lovely ahhhhh moments - and yes followed by sex of course.

Worth a credit? Well of course I'm going to say YES after all who can resist a steamy escape into these passion filled listens.

IT WAS PURELY PHYSICAL BUT THEN IT BECAME PERSONAL

This book was soooooo good! I loved the dynamic between Gavin and Elizabeth. There was so much to love about this one its hard to put into a short review but the narrator was awesome and the writing was excellent. I love athlete/PR agent romances and so far this goes down as top 3 athlete/PR agent romances!!! The sexy times were more than I expected, which I loved! And Gavin had a sexy, filthy mouth that had my mouth watering👄👄👄 the only thing I didn't connect to was that Elizabeth was that kind of heroine that had no female friends. As a woman, i usually find it hard to connect to women that don't like other women, so I'm surprised I loved Elizabeth despite that. But she showed a lot of growth and overcame it in the end so I was happy about that! This book will definitely be on my reread list!!

Loved it from the first chapter!

I loved the first book and I loved this one. I like the plot and I love the sexual chemistry between the characters. It was a one that I wanted to listen to in one sitting. Personally I'm not into baseball but I'm so into the Jaci Burton and Lucy Malone combination. In my opinion it was totally worth my credit. I intend to continue with book 3.

I enjoyed Gavin and Liz's story. It's one hot and steamy ride. I did not want to like Liz especially after reading "The Perfect Play". She definitely redeemed herself in this book. I enjoyed seeing how their relationship developed and changed from agent to so much more. These two definitely changed the game.

What did you love best about Changing the Game?

The continuation from The Perfect Play.... A falling out between Mick and Liz (his agent) sets up a tangled situation for Gavin (Mick's brother) when he makes a deal with Liz. The constant search for where each charter 'belongs' is riveting and enjoyable.

The intimate scenes are hot!

What other book might you compare Changing the Game to and why?

The Play-By-Play Series is great and I recommend reading them in order.

What didn’t you like about Lucy Malone’s performance?

Her male characters are o.k. but her female characters and narration are nasally-a bit annoying.

Any additional comments?

Adult content and strong language.

Love the story, loved the continuation from the first story with Gavin's brother Mick, but the narrator needs to learn how to pronounce the word mausoleum. oh my gosh ask somebody if you're not sure and there's always Google and Google's been around for a while!

In this second book of the Play by Play series, the focus is on Gavin. Gavin is the brother of Mick from the first book, he is also a major league baseball player. He never thinks he could fall for anyone, but in this book you find out who he does fall for. Listen to hear what happens next in the series.
