Description

A steamy, grumpy sunshine sports romance featuring a woman down on her luck, a star basketball player with a filthy mouth, and a connection neither of them can deny.

After being dumped and losing my job the same week, the last thing my broken heart needs is a rebound.

I'm escaping across the country to help my perfect sister plan her dream wedding, and to prove to both of us everything is under control.

But a combination of tequila and turbulence on the flight there lead to word-vomiting all my troubles to the huge and handsome stranger in the first-class seat next to mine.

Only his whispered dirty diversions keep me sane until landing.

Despite the spark of attraction, we go our separate ways.

Or so I thought.

Turns out the tall, muscular, tattooed tower of a man from the plane is the star player on my future brother-in-law's pro basketball team.

Clay is the last person I should gravitate toward. They're called "players" for a reason.

Grumpy and cynical, he carries a weight on his shoulders I can't possibly fathom.

He's also the only one who knows my secrets and gets my heart racing.

The more we're thrust together, the stronger the chemistry between us becomes.

Hooking up with the all-star athlete isn't the way to get my life on track…but it could just be the game changer we've both been searching for.

Game Changer is a grumpy sunshine sports romance and book 1 in the King of the Court trilogy. Clay and Nova's steamy, banter-filled story continues in Shot Taker and concludes in Play Maker. Binge their entire unputdownable story today!

    I fully recommend reading all of Piper Lawson’s books. This one was just as wonderful as reading about Clay’s younger sister’s story with her professor. I’m looking forward to reading this last book.

    The story is good the ending dragged out to force you into buying another book that probably has no ending either. Big disappointment! Will not purchase this author again.

    Nice story, but ends in a bit of a cliffhanger. Loved the quirky lead female.

  • Unfortunately not a standalone

    Decent story with interesting characters but definitely stars off for not being a finished story. Turns out this is a 4-parter. Just beware if you want to get invested.

    Game Changer is book #1 in the King of the Court series. Nova and Clay’s story was an enjoyable sports romance. You definitely can’t deny their intense chemistry. I liked the supporting characters and can’t wait to see more of Clay and Nova. Carly Robins and Lance Greenfield did a really good job narrating these characters.

    First off this is an interconnected trilogy. I say that to make sure you realize that this book ends in a way that makes you desperate for book 2. So be prepared. That being said I loved the whole book. Both Clay and Nova are dealing with their own issues that keep their characters interesting and the story moving at a nice pace that I appreciated. I was frustrated with Clay and his behavior. There were moments I just wanted to slap him. Thou I also kept rooting for them. I’m currently feeling the desperation waiting to start book 2.

  • Clay and Nova are a Slam Dunk!

    “I want to strip you out of this poor excuse for a bikini and make you so thoroughly mine you’d rather burn Miles’ jersey than wear it because you can’t imagine anyone else’s name on your skin.” “To love that finds us when we need it, not when we’re looking.” Author Piper Lawson, has undoubtedly left me on another doozy of a cliffhanger. I love Piper’s writing and ‘Game Changer’ is one of many outstanding books that I had a hard time putting down. She gives you just enough to keep you wanting more. Her newest characters, Clay & Nova are a slam dunk and their pull toward one another is nothing short of magnetic. This meet-cute on an airplane take these two characters on a journey of what’s more important love or basketball. But there are obstacles that continue to stand in their way, mainly Clayton Wade and his attitude, cue in the Grumpy Baller. Will he fall for the girl with pink hair? Only the author knows… Another must read from me, but beware this is the first book of the series and leaves on a cliffhanger. Book 2, Shot Taker is coming June 27, 2023. The wait won’t be long.
