Publisher's summary
There’s only one woman for him. The problem? She belongs to his best friend.
When it comes to hockey and women, Marty LeBrun is used to coming in second to his best friend and teammate, Zach Pruitt. And that’s okay because Marty’s sole aim is breaking into the NHL, a climb as steep as Mt. Everest—without oxygen—for a guy whose heart is greater than his talent. But all that changes when Claudia Campbell walks into their lives. Suddenly, playing Zach’s wingman is a role Marty is no longer willing to fill.
Claudia Campbell has been itching to escape her stifling family and spread her wings. None of her big plans include a serious relationship, but she soon finds herself falling for Zach and putting her plans on ice. There’s a bonus that comes with the hottest hockey player on campus, though, and that’s his buddy, Marty. As her relationship with Zach deepens, Marty becomes her best friend, her rock, the guy she trusts above all others—including Zach.
While he flounders in the minors, Marty envies Zach’s meteoric rise in the NHL. Zach has everything Marty wants: a thriving career and the girl. But Zach’s fame creates the perfect storm for excess, and when he begs Marty to keep his secrets, Marty is torn. Do his loyalties lie with his best friend since childhood? Or with his other best friend, the girl he secretly pines for?
In order to protect the woman he adores, Marty agrees to hide Zach’s recklessness. But secrets never stay buried, and Marty’s choice delivers devastating consequences. When Claudia discovers what Marty has been keeping from her, it’s game over.
Years pass and scars cover old wounds, but Marty is haunted by memories of the only woman he’s ever loved. Meanwhile, Claudia yearns for the friendship she shared with Marty. When a chance encounter brings them together again, will they take a shot at winning the biggest prize of all?

Story
Commitment was never my thing. But I've been directionless for far too long. It's time to take on some responsibilities and get my life together. Bidding on my best friend's brother at a bachelor auction didn't help me with that. Neither did having a hot, secret fling with him. Too bad that didn't stop me. Because now I'm in way over my head. And I'm afraid I might not be ready for the biggest commitment of all. Love

I came to Finn River to get away from trouble. But it found me–in the form of a forbidden kiss. After a narrow escape from Alaska and months on the run, I take a security gig that doesn’t ask any questions about my past. But it didn’t take long before trouble came knocking—first, a dangerous rescue, second, sharing my secrets with the one girl I shouldn't trust. I need to stay away from Sofie Whittaker. Not only are we from different worlds, with two very different futures, being with her puts us both at risk.

I’d been in Curmudgeon Bakery for one of those lemon baby-Bundt cakes I’d been craving since I found out I was pregnant. The draw had nothing to do with the baker himself. Tall, tatted, and edgy, he looked more like a biker than a man who makes baked goods. I hardly knew him other than taking a tumble in a rainstorm in front of his shop... and then tossing myself at him after he rescued me. We shared a moment, but it’s not what you’d think. Months later, he delivered my baby among his cookies and cakes. Talk about a second chance encounter.

I was used to doing things alone, just me and my trusty dog, Duke. We were a solo team ever since my partner retired and I transferred over to the K-9 unit. Duke was the best police officer I'd ever worked with, and the only male I needed in my life. That was until Travis Cooper, beefcake firefighter, caught a job I'm looking into. He was first on the scene of a major arson, and because we each had a unique set of skills, the brass thought it would be a good idea for us to work together. I'll never forget the first time he looked into my eyes and said, "You're in over your head, girl scout."

Good looks and wads of cash usually get me whatever I desire, unless I desire a box of my favorite cereal at the grocery store right before it closes. As if tonight's loss wasn't bad enough, I'm now watching said box of cereal, my literal good luck charm, disappear in some woman's cart. The brazen woman denies my cash offer along with my proposal for a more intimate payment. How much loss can a man take in one day? At this point, who cares how rude I am to her? She's public enemy number one, and chances of seeing her again are slim to none.

They believe she's a good luck charm for her brother Jas, the newest Vancouver Canucks draft pick, forcing Ash to attend all his games as he rises up the NHL ranks, sacrificing her personal life (not that she has one—who decided hockey season needed to be 10 months long anyway?).

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

They believe she's a good luck charm for her brother Jas, the newest Vancouver Canucks draft pick, forcing Ash to attend all his games as he rises up the NHL ranks, sacrificing her personal life (not that she has one—who decided hockey season needed to be 10 months long anyway?). Ash also clashes with Jas’s teammate, Canucks captain Devin Snyder.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Recommend!!! So worth the credit!
Line change by G.K. Brady
This book had me in a roller coaster of emotions. One moment, I was happy, then next I was mad and then I was sad and so on. I had to take my breaks while listening to this one because, I felt everything both main characters were feeling. We do have a happy ending which left me so satisfied. Especially after going through every feeling. At some point I felt like I was watching a telenovela. Which if you ask me, that is impressive. The narrators Ryan Lee and Aubrey Vincent did a fantastic job. I absolutely recommend this book or audiobook. Both versions won’t disappoint.

Missed opportunities
This is my favorite of the series! 2 people perfect for each other who, by bad luck, missed the opportunity to be together. Settling for friendship, this story evolves over a few years with some emotional heartbreak that leaves you rooting for love. Once I started this story I couldn’t stop until the end. Perfection!!

Sweet Friemds To Loversds
Line Change is a friends to lovers romance, also a very frustrating and sweet love story. I immediately liked Marty and Claudia, two college students. I felt bad for Marty for most of the book, always wanting what he couldn't have. I'm just glad it ended right, it was so heart warming. The narrators did an awesome job bringing everything to life. I'm gonna have to listen to the whole series again. This series is a good sport romance if someone is looking for one.

A Tangled Romance
I was entertained by this prequel to "The Playmakers" series. Marty and Zach met Claudia Campbell on the same night, and both were interested in her. Zach and Claudia became sweethearts. Claudia and Marty became best friends. This story wandered down many tortuous paths which kept my interest. There were times when I just wanted to tell the characters to wake up and stop being so blind. There were some steamy scenes. Ryan Lee Dunlap's and Aubrey Benson's dual narrations were a pleasure to listen to, and their performances kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, provided by Home Cooked Books, and I have voluntarily posted this review which reflected my opinions.

Love in the end
This story had characters you love and characters you love to hate - well, really one in particular. Marty always seemed to be getting left in the dust compared to Zach, so why shouldn’t Zach get the girl? Lots of drama to this story. I enjoyed listening as much as I did reading. Nice choice in narrators.

Really long but builds good characters
Really really long! Maybe a little shorter in Part 1 and I would have enjoyed that part more. While I liked it at times it was taking way too long since I already knew what was going to happen. We meet all the characters while they are young and that sets their relationships up. How close a few were and others who thought they were close. The author does a good job building the characters and their connections to others. That helps bring out all the emotions for each one from the reader. I went through a large array of emotions from disgust to happiness. I saw dreams grow and other become squashed. The second part was my favorite as was Marty my favorite character. I really wished him well from early on.
I listened to this on audio. Aubrey Vincent and Ryan Lee Dunlap do a wonderful job on the narration. Very enjoyable to listen to.

Second chance romance captured my heart
If you’ve already read or listened to the engaging, swoon-worthy Playmakers series by author G. K. Brady, you know who Marty and Claudia are: the perfect Colorado Blizzard coach with the wonderful wife and terrific kids, the happily married couple who can’t keep their eyes and hands off each other even if they are now almost “oldsters.” But there’s a heart-stopping, heart-breaking, heart-warming story about how they became that contented couple, and Line Change is it. (If you haven’t listened to the series yet, get going, start anywhere. The beginning is the best but all the stories will bewitch you.)
The story starts with the mother of “what-if’s.” If any teeny, tiny thing had gone differently that first night . . . but it didn’t. Marty and childhood best friend Zach are at college on hockey scholarships. Claudia is also on a scholarship to become a teacher. The boys meet Claudia and her best friend Meghan one night at a local hangout. Claudia is stunning so both he and Zach notice her, but Marty’s reaction the first time he sets his eyes on Claudia is like a Shakespeare love sonnet: her smile, her eyes, everything about her is sunshine, flowers, sunbeams. He’s enchanted, overcome with wonder. He can barely look at her or croak out a word. Which doesn’t bode well for the college-boy bet Zach talked him into about who would end up with Claudia. Meghan and Zach are too similar and don’t hit it off. Claudia misinterprets Marty’s inability to function around her as interest in Meghan, so shifts her attention to Zach. What if? What if?? What if??? Even though little what if’s will pop into Claudia’s head for a long time, Zach says Claudia is the one for him and Marty is too good a friend to Zach to let his true feelings show.
A bittersweet byproduct of Zach and Claudia together is the development of a deep, true friendship between her and Marty. She trusts him, feels comfortable and safe. They spend a lot of time together and he is just happy to be near her. She makes him feel so alive, even if she is unattainable.
Although Marty and Zach have been best friends since childhood, they are opposites. Zach is that guy everybody notices – handsome, charming, talented, bigger than life. You want to be in his circle and it’s not until you’re there that you realize there’s not much behind that façade. Not much truthfulness or sincerity or honesty. But the charm almost always allows him to talk his way out of it. Marty is also handsome, charming, and talented but he’s not bigger than life. Instead, he’s solid and steadfast. He’s the guy you don’t notice until one day you think, “Where has he been hiding all this time?” And with Marty you get an overabundance of truthfulness, sincerity and honesty.
Zach is an incredible hockey player, making it to the NHL in record time while Marty struggles. It’s soon obvious to everyone except Claudia with her he-swears-he-loves-me blinders on and Marty with his I-owe-my-best-bud-from-childhood-the-benefit-of-the-doubt denial firmly in place, that Zach is overindulging himself in every aspect of his life. Claudia’s blinders shift a tiny bit to the side and she makes Marty promise he will tell her if Zach every actually strays instead of just skating on the edge. When Zach in fact does the unthinkable on the eve of his wedding, Marty is torn: stand by his childhood best friend who insists it will never happen again, or tell his best friend, the woman he loves, and put her through needless misery if in fact Zach is sincere. So Marty makes his choice, and it’s the wrong one because most things don’t stay hidden forever. When Zach is still Zach and Claudia finds out about the past and that Marty and others knew, she shuts him completely out of her life. So not only is Claudia heartbroken and humiliated anyway, but Marty has also lost his best friend.
Years pass, life goes on. Marty is a successful coach. And one day, when he has to take one of his players to the hospital, the unbelievable miracle happens: that blond nurse turns around and it’s Claudia. There are those sonnets again. Marty is literally speechless.
At this point in the story, just go and get yourself a cup of coffee, a box of tissues, and some ice for when you need to cool down. If you haven’t already been trying to listen to Line Change straight through you definitely aren’t going to take your earbuds out now. You’re in this until the end. Not kidding. Listening to the back and forth, the regrets, the apologies, the uncertainty, the hope . . . will this second chance live up to the dreams? Are there too many scars for it to survive?
Every Playmakers Series story I read becomes my current favorite. I love all the guys – Beckett, Gage, TJ, Mac, Blake, they’re all big tough guys with gushy hearts. Marty was just the coach to respect and admire. But now - Line Change is going to be my all-time favorite and Marty is #1. His heart is so true to Claudia, his devotion so strong and complete, apparent in every word he utters and every action he takes, even when he messes up. This is second chance romance at its best. Author G. K. Brady does a fantastic job of portraying the angst, the conflict, the emotions, the tension that even though it says “hockey romance” right in the title and you’re pretty sure of where it’s going, you can’t help but worry, want to shout at the characters to get things right. A very satisfying story and a welcome addition to the series that fills in the blanks about a special couple.
Thanks to Home Cooked Books and the author for providing an advance listening copy of Line Change. The narrators are amazing and listening is the best way to savor this story. Ryan Lee Dunlap IS Marty; the warmth, the frustration, the sorrow, the love and the absolute wonder and joy when he thinks Claudia may someday be his. He always gives such a marvelous performance that I know in advance I’ll love any audiobook he narrates. Aubrey Vincent perfectly captures Claudia’s fear and disappointment and anger, horror and humiliation when she finally sees the true Zach, as well as the wonder and relief when she and Marty meet again. Wonderful book, wonderful narrators, highly recommend. I voluntarily leave this review; all opinions are my own.

What goes around comes back around
Take me back in time and show me the young coach and how he got to where he was! I adored this book. So many ups and downs, Marty and Claudia had such a missed connection in the beginning. To see how it all unfolded for them was amazing. I loved these characters so much. A true roller coaster of emotions. The narrators were perfect! I can’t wait for the next one.

Emotional Second Chance
I absolutely love this series and this book is another fantastic addition. The narration was emotion filled perfection. I really enjoy these narrators and their performance. This book is an emotional, sweet and angst filled romance that has you rooting for Claudia and Marty to come together and get their HEA. These two definitely have their misunderstanding and secrets to overcome. Definitely a 5 star listen.
I was sent a free audiobook from HCB and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.

Marty and Claudia
The narrators did a great job.
FYI even though this says 9 this is considered a prequel and can be read/listened to as a standalone if anything I think this should be read first. This first starts when Marty and his best friend see Claudia at a bar when they were all in college. Like always when Marty goes to talk to her there is a bit of a connection but then Claudia starts asking questions about Zack and like the good guy Marty is backs off and finds himself in the friends zone. Even though there story doesn't come to years later you get the early years. I feel bad for Marty because both Zack and Claudia are his best friends and Claudia seems to put Marty in compromised situations by asking him questions and not really wanting the truth. Zack's a real piece of work and just becomes a bigger DB when he becomes famous and Marty starts to see what always was there but overlooked. I enjoyed listening to this story.
