GAME CHANGER by Rachel Reid
Game Changer - Rachel Reid,Rachelle Goguen
Scott Hunter, closeted captain of the NHL New York Admirals, meets Kip at the local smoothie shop when Kip makes a lucky smoothie for Scott.  Attracted Scott goes back and they begin a secret affair.  It all comes to a head during the Stanley Cup playoffs.
 
I enjoyed this story.  I liked Kip.  He was funny and truthful.  I could understand Scott's hesitation and fear.  I liked Kip's family and friends who were supportive.  His dad was a shocker.  It was a fun book and I look forward to more in the series.

Lucky Like Love (The Fae Legacy Book 1) by Rachelle Ayala
Lucky Like Love (The Fae Legacy #1) - Rachelle Ayala

 

 

What appealed to me most about Lucky Like Love is the heart that shines through. Uniquely entertaining, irresistibly charming, with a hint of mystery. Ayala never loses her ability to charm her way into hearts.

Gage (Bad Boys for Hire #5) by Rachelle Ayala
Bad Boys for Hire: Gage - Rachelle Ayala

 

 

Gage hides a very important message within an over the top love story. Ayala continues to amaze me with how in tune her fictional world is with our real one. Gage and Sherelle are a reminder of why it's important to live our own truth. Each is struggling to live up to what they think others want instead of following the path of their hearts. For that reason their sense of being becomes lost in the pretense. Sexism has an impact on their lives. Gage is a bit bolder than the previous books within the Bad Boy's for Hire series, however no less entertaining. Just more food for the soul.

Game Changer
Game Changer - Rachel Reid,Rachelle Goguen

Game Changer is well-written and the characters are interesting. I was impressed that even the secondary characters are engaging and often witty and fun. Considering its length, I was surprised that the story is fairly low on angst. However, I finished this one with a middle of the road feeling. I didn't dislike it, but it didn't leave a big lasting impression either. With Scott being so closeted, I would've expected at least some angst about starting a relationship with Kip, but these guys go from zero to sixty really fast, which leaves a lot of lag time in the story with quite a lot of steamy time. Now, I've got nothing against steamy goodness, and these guys can't keep their hands off each other, but after so much, it becomes repetitive and starts to seem like so much filler. We do finally get some angst as Kip wants more from the relationship, but again, it's fairly low level and it's pretty obvious how it will all play out. It is primarily a feel-good read, but I felt like it needed to be tightened up some. A little less time between the sheets and a little more spent on relationship building could've made a big difference.
For me, this was an entertaining read for the most part, but there's really nothing to set it apart from any other book like it. It runs the standard formula of a closeted sports figure meeting Mr Out and Proud. There are no hiccups that we don't see coming, including the sweet and hopeful conclusion. All in all, it's a solid story and I'll be interested to see how this author's work grows with future books.

A broken heart leads to a missed opportunity and a second chance at love. Seashells & Mistletoe finds sunny hidden inside heartache. When a failed engagement forces Dani to rethink her life, a trip to Hawaii and a blast from her past may be just the cure she needs to mend her broken heart. Ayala is one of a few authors that can make me laugh through my tears with her enchanting outlook on life.
