Game Changer

Change of Hearts Series 1

By: Sierra Hill

Narrated by: Elizabeth Hart, Tor Thom

Up until two years ago, I was living large and my life's priorities were anchored to three things - my NBA stardom, money and celebrity. I was also a colossal dick.

Until one night turned my world upside down and I suffered unspeakable loss. That event changed the man I was and made me a widowed single father. Now I'm a desperate parent trying to raise my special needs son and find him a trustworthy live-in nanny.

Grad student Brooklyn Hayes may be the one, with her single-minded focus on caring for my son and finishing her Master's degree. She's the perfect fit for our needs.

Maybe too perfect...with her bright smile, nurturing kindness and gentle touch. Caleb isn't the only one who's fallen for her. I don't know when or how it happened, but she changed the game for me. Turning my losing streak into a winning second half.

Contains mature themes.

Easy listen. Cute store.

It was a very simple store. Easy to listen to while doing other things. The male narrator has a sexy deep voice for an older hunk. But didn’t feel it fit this character. But overall cute store. Similar to so many other’s.

Sweet and sexy

The storyline is entirely believable: Garrett is a former NBA star-turned-college basketball coach who needs a nanny for his special needs son. Brooklyn is a master's psychology student specializing in developmental challenges due to special needs and pediatric brain injuries. Both characters are believable, within their own spheres and with their conflicting feelings for each other.

I appreciate the research that went into developing the character of Garrett's son, Caleb, as well as the approaches Brooklyn takes to connect with the little boy.

If you're looking for a solid storyline with steamy moments, check out Game Changer, as well as Sierra Hill's other novels.

Regarding the narration: Tor Thom and Elizabeth Hart deliver solid performances. However, the narration was a little too slow for me. I sped up my audio a little and enjoyed it more.

Umm, not so good

Rapid Insta Lust should be the title. Not much character development, Hero kept walking away from hetoine when emotions got involve. And then, BAM!, one short declaration of a come to Jesus moment of enlightenment on the hero's part and the smart, raised by a feminist mother heroine has a implosion in her brain and she is in lust/love and ready to drop her panties.
Performance for both narrators was a 3.

Cute

Single dad and the nanny trope
Age gap trope
She is a strong woman
Child is disabled
Spice was two peppers

Enjoyable and sweet story. I love super steamy romance and wish it has more 🌶️.

Needed more 🌶️ spice spice spice adding more words to hit the 15 minimum minimum minimum minimum

Unoriginal and boring

There is no character development, no depth to the story. Most of the expected tropes are in and there is nothing fresh or different. Even the more serious aspects are treated so superficially that it wouldn’t matter if you just replaced every detail with something else: profession, past tragedies, etc. The transition to sex and then to a relationship is sudden and weird. The story progression is at the same time forced and weird but also unsurprising and stale. Not worth the time.
The male narrator, especially, is a bad choice. He has a very unnatural speech style. The female narrator is a bit grating but better than the male. Maybe with different narrators it would have been less boring but the combination makes this a difficult one to finish.

Typical

Nothing stands out female lead voice annoying! Typical and predictable. Author could have done better feels like a teenager wrote this!
