4 out of 5 stars
A fast paced, sexy ride!
This was an awesome read! Fast-paced, seriously sexy, with lots of ups and downs and I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next.I liked Elizabeth and Gavin a lot. I actually didn't think I'd end up liking Elizabeth as much as I did since she made some bad choices in book one of the series (The Perfect Play) but I really, really did. I liked learning about her and how she felt about Gavin. I liked her making up for past mistakes and seeing her vulnerable side. I liked Gavin and this sexy commanding vibe he had going on and how his feelings for Elizabeth emerged. They could both be pretty stubborn which made for a nice amount of drama, a bit of emotion, a lot of arguing and making up, and a lot of heat. There was a big push and pull happening and sometimes it got a bit old but I always enjoyed them coming back together. Together they were extremely hot, lots of sexy times ensued as true feelings start to form.This was a great story. It could be a bit fast-paced at times but overall, I enjoyed the flow and the dual POVs mixed in. I thought the descriptions were good and there was a decent build. It wasn't super in-depth or overly-detailed but there was definitely enough pulled me in and keep me invested. I thought this was a well-rounded, entertaining story. The entertaining aspect is what really did it for me too. Before I knew it, hours had flown by because I was enjoying it. Fun and sexy for the win!

    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.

    Holy Sex Batman.....this one will require a cold shower!

    Jaci has brought us the second installlment of her Play By Play series, Changing The Game, which turns up the heat triple time. First Basemen, Gavin Riley doesn't like that his very hot, very sexy agent has been avoiding him ever since being canned by his big brother, Mick. He wants to get to the bottom of the issue but all he gets is Elizabeth under him, in his bed and plans to keep her there for as long as this "thing" between them lasts.

    Sounds simple until things become more than just 'friends with benefits'. Liz has been in love with Gavin for years and if he finds out how she really feels she could lose it all, not just her client but her heart. You need to run out and purchase this amazing read...like NOW...if you are looking for a sweet love story with some very sexy, very steamy, very 'oh baby' sex...you have found it all right here.

    Wow, I really loved this book. Elizabeth has been in love with Gavin and he’s finally made a move towards her. Loved them together and how she loved his parents. But the conflict between her and his brother Mick caused too many problems. I didn’t expect to cry so much. But I’m glad they finally got their happy ever after. Had some happy tears for them. I highly recommend this book.

    So, this is the second book in the series for me. I’ll read the third to finish out this family, but while I loved the stories, the characters and the writing is terrific, I found myself skipping the way too many way too long sex scenes. Like 4 pages worth. And don’t even get me started on the five per page worth of sports metaphors. Such great writing, wonderful stories, lots of cringing. I mean, I love romance. I like a good sex scene, but just too many. In the next book, I’m counting the number of pages of thrusting and sucking and I’ll get back to you.

    Reviewed in Spain on April 20, 2020
    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!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 4, 2011
    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)

    Another steamy story that got me hot under the collar. Maybe not quite in the same league as the first of these books, but still a brilliant read. And worth picking up for the cover alone - such a shame my kindle doesn't show it when I downloaded! Roll on the next game....looking forward to following Jenna's story.
