Poppy & the Beast

A Grumpy/Sunshine Romance

De: Sylvie Stewart

Narrado por: Meg Price

There are three things I know about New York so far: everybody is late for something, nobody has a freakin’ clue what sweet tea is, and King Kong himself is still alive and well and has taken the form of a growly blacksmith named Mac.

This is no shifter story, and I’m not his prey, although I wouldn’t say no if he asked for a little taste. I’ve been saddled with interviewing with the beast to secure my new dream job in publishing, but his intense stares and monosyllabic responses are making my job impossible. I just need to get this over with and move on to navigating my new life and career. I’ve got this, right?

But my professional and personal challenges are proving bigger than I realized, and Mac might be the only one who truly understands this game. He’ll be my biggest ally if I let him, and the way he keeps saying my name makes me really want to let him. The thing is, this city is known for breaking hearts, and it doesn’t care if you’re the new girl in town or the beast who calls it home.

Game Changer is a slow-burn, stand-alone romantic comedy with an emotional punch.

Enjoyed this book

I really enjoyed this story about Poppy and Mac. Poppy is trying to prove to everyone she can make it in New York., and Angus just wants to be left alone. This book has everything you want in a book. You will not be disappointed.

A romance with sass and snarls

When you can listen to the banter a single narrator has with herself and decipher which Georgia woman is speaking, you know the audiobook is well-done. When you are laughing outloud and grunting along with the male love interest, you know the story is well-written. Poppy and Mac bring together her sass and his snarls in a story you'll love.

Broody blacksmith soft for the sunshine one

If you like broody alpha males and sassy southern women trying to prove themselves you’ll like this book.

Gets better as the story goes along.

This is listed as a romantic comedy but I honestly didn’t feel it was. There were a few times but mostly it seemed darker and more serious. That could be attributed to the male lead. He is a alpha male who is dark and broody. She refers to him as a dragon or King Kong multiple times. He says he doesn’t have a word limit a day but between you and me...I think he does. So getting his story out of him is like pulling teeth.

I enjoyed the sister, Iris, and a co worker, Naveed of Poppy. They both added some flair to the story. Even Bunny, Bobby Lee and Cookie were some nice additions.

This isn’t my first book by this author. I love her Carolina Series. This just seemed to reach not quite that high. The story was good and the characters had growth. The author did a good job relaying the intense attraction the two MC’s had for each other. I was saddened and irritated a few times while reading. Then I did get that big “O” of shock. I didn’t see that coming. This is a good story to me though not a rom com. I did listen to this on audio and Meg Price did a nice job.

Loved It!

Game Changer is a well written Rom-Com. Mac and Poppy's story is a great opposites attract. I loved their flirty slow burn story. Mac is such a great man, laconic, and thoughtful. Poppy is a lovely woman, smart, sassy, and hard worker. They share a sizzling chemistry. The story is told mostly from Poppy's POV. It would be great to have Mac's POV. The storyline is intriguing, fun, but also serious, and beautiful. Meg Price has a great voice, and a sexy male voice! I enjoyed it!

Great story to listen to

Great story, I loved the performance. Sometimes funny, sometimes emotional, romantic, steamy and even some serious things going on. Overall I loved it.

Loved this book!!

This is the second book I've read by this author. I love her work! Great storyline and awesome characters.

Loved all of it

I really enjoyed listening to this story. I really enjoyed the narrator. If you like romcoms, this one is for you.

Great Read

Game Changer was a great read by Sylvie Stewart. Poppy left everything behind to move to New York. While in New York she meets a blacksmith named Mac. She must interview Mac to secure her dream job in publishing, but he makes it nearly impossible to complete. Mac may just end up being her biggest ally if she allows him to be. I enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to read more by the author.

Southern Belle In NY

Mac is a blacksmith, artist and furniture maker. He's a brooding man of few words. He is protective of his privacy. Poppy is vivacious, from Savannah Georgia. She just got a job in N.Y. at an upcoming magazine. She thought dropping her southern accent, changing her personality would be an advantage to her job. Her assignment is to get an interview with Mac. Getting him to talk, is like pulling teeth. I love how the Poppy eventually peels away each layer of Mac, just like an onion, one layer at a time. This is a fun entertaining story epecilly when Poppy is in her Southern element and looking for sweet tea in NYC.Poppy gets Mac. It took a while to build his trust, only to have it broken.
Meg Price was wonderful telling this story! Giving each character their own voice and personality.
