5.0 out of 5 stars I liked it more than I thought

I've been making my way through this series, and after the first book, I did not expect to like Liz as the heroine of this one. I also didn't know that I'd care for Gavin, and his devil-may-care attitude. Their story is interesting and entertaining, how they both kind of operate in denial and keep having speed bumps along the way as a result. Insisting that their relationship isn't, what we all know it really is. Some moments were frustrating, but many were sweet, funny, and endearing. Their chemistry pulls them back together even when other forces are trying to drive them a part. And it's nice to see other characters we've met before and those we'll likely see again as the series progresses.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than the first one and Gavin is awesome!
Reviewed in Canada on August 27, 2012
I have to admit that the second book was much better than the first one. Although the first one wasn’t bad I found this one a little but more believable I guess. I liked Gavin. I liked that it showed that his game reflected what happened between him and Liz. I liked that he was very straight up and said that she was his and that he would take care of her. I loved that he acted like a boyfriend without ever really having been one before, but that he was more than happy to pick up a drunken Liz and her friends. I liked that he was able to admit that he missed her. And yes, the romance in this novel was something else. The book is definitely 18+, but the romance behind it will appeal to all. The characters were interesting ones, although Gavin is the cocky player that I expected him to be it was surprising that his player ways could change so easily. But, of course there is always something that happens. However, that something was shocking as well, it was not something I expected. But, I’m happy about that. Oh, and I’m a baseball player so when he was playing I understood everything and really got into it.
Good:
Gavin—sinfully hot and tempting
Bad:
Liz—I found that she almost had two different personalities. One moment she was the strong in dependent Sports agent and the next she was the normal girlfriend that any guy would come home too. A little too different for my liking.
Overall (Writing style, story line, and general):
Overall the book was well written, however like my previous mentions in my review for
The Perfect Play I felt things were a little under developed. The novel mainly focused on the romantic side of their relationship instead of focusing on the characters. I always expect them to have their past history come back to bite them, or be resolved, but that never seems to be the issue. Overall it didn’t necessarily hurt the novel but it did hold it back from being better.

This is the second story in author Jaci Burton's Play by Play series, and I think I enjoyed it even more than the first. Filled with lots of snappy dialogue, angst and really steamy love scenes, Changing The Game will be a winner for fans of Ms. Burton's work!

It was great seeing how the writer turned the harpy from the first book into a lovable heroine.
We were all rooting for her to get the guy and understood her better. The sex was off the charts and the book was easy to read and fun.
I loved seeing how she became friends with more females and discovered the joys of good female companionship. Every woman should have that.
Can't wait to read the next one!

Wow, Amazing, and Could not put down.

I am so happy that I found this sports romance erotic series. I love any man in uniform and the fact that this book was about Gavin Riley as a star baseball player I couldn't have loved it anymore.

When we first met Elizabeth and Gavin in the first book in the series The Perfect Play I really did not enjoy Elizabeth's character. Not because of what happened with Mick but rather she was just cold, there was no life to her character. So when I picked up this book and saw that it was about her I was slightly worried but wow that was knocked out of the ballpark. I loved her character. I also loved the fact that this book touched back with Mick and Tara.

The fact that this series each book is a different couple and we meet this couple the book before this or a few books before make it more real for me. We get to learn about these people through each story and read about what is going on in their lives. While you can read these books as stand alone (like I did the first time I found one of her books) it is so much better when you go back and read them from the beginning.

Easily one of my favorite romance series. This series will not disappoint if you love romance, hot beautiful professional sports players, and a lot of action.

I loved the first book of the series and I loved the second book. Right now I wait to get my hands on all the others from the series. She is such a great writer and Jaci Burton really makes a woman hot while reading... With her writing and even more so with her male stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars ROMANTIC AND SEXY

This is the second book in the "Play by Play" series. We met Elizabeth Darnell in the first of this series, The Perfect Play (Play-By-Play Novels (Heat))  she is a sports agent, she was fired by Mick Riley football player for her interference in his private life. His brother Gavin is also one of Elizabeth's clients,now she has been avoiding him, worried that he might be going to fire her as well. That would be a double blow as she has been in love with Gavin for years,only he doesn't know that and she has every intention that he will never find out. Gavin plays pro baseball for the Saint Louis Rivers Elizabeth had landed him the contract straight from college, she has made him a rich man, raising his profile and getting him product endorsements. Gavin knew that Elizabeth had been avoiding him, worried in case he side with his brother and fire her. But that was about to end as he intended to corner her as they were both attending a sports function. Right after his brother Mick had dumped Elizabeth they had shared a kiss, Gavin had been unable to get that out of his mind. He had always thought that Elizabeth was beautiful woman, but there had never been anything personal between them over the years. He waits for her to leave the function and confronts her. They end up back at his house and spend an explosive night together, Gavin asks Elizabeth to come stay with him, both of them are wondering where this will lead, suddenly Gavin realises he knows very little about Elizabeth, yes she is tough and seems cold, but he is beginning to wonder if that is just a front.
This book was absolutely wonderful, I wondered if I would like this as Elizabeth had played an unsympathetic character in the first book and although she has apologised, she is still suffering problems in her business and private life from it. But the more I read into the book the better I understood her character. Gavin is a nice guy if a little dumb as to what is in front of him, I really liked him. The love scenes between them were really hot, there was also plenty of passion and romance. The supporting characters were fully rounded and played there part in the story beautifully. All in all this is a fabulous read one that I heartily recommend.the next in the series is about Mick and Gavin's sister Jenna who runs the family's sports bar.  Taking a Shot (Play-By-Play Novel)

Changing the Game not just met my expectation from my pervious experience with The Perfect Play, the first book in this series. The first book was focused on Mick Riley and now we move on to his brother, Gavin Riley. Gavin is a pro baseball player and is living life. His agent, Liz Darnell, had previously represented both his brother, Mick, and himself, but Mick recently fired Liz when she messed with his personal life. Gavin knows that Liz has been avoiding him, he is sure in fear that he is going to fire her too, but he is not. Gavin ends up cornering Liz at a party and takes her home with him and both of their worlds are in for a world of change. What Gavin doesn't know is that Liz has been in love with him for years but she has a strick run that she lives by to not get involved with her clients. Things turn HOT and STEAMY from this point! Wow, if I thought the sexual tension was good in book one, book two brought it on even stronger.

I had a much easier time relating to Liz and the situation that she was in that I did with Tara in The Perfect Play. Not to mention the fact that I enjoyed not having a child in the book kind of getting in the way. Not that I didn't enjoy the previous story line but well it kind of annoyed me. I think that Jaci Burton did a great job at creating a story line that made Mick face his decision to hold Liz to the mistakes she made even though she had already apologized and fixed the situation. Tara had even forgiven her but Mick kept holding on. This caused a lot of drama both betwen Liz and Mick but also the whole Riley family. And in my opinion it was just the right amount of tension and drama that left me wondering if they could work it out or would things just fall apart like Liz has convienced herself is going to happen.

This is for sure an adult book with a lot of sex, but extremely well written sex. Be aware of this because it is not tame by any streech of the imagination. If you are looking for a HOT and STEAMY book that still has excellent plot, this is the book for you. Sit back, have a drink and enjoy this HOT story.
