Changing the Game by Jaci Burton


Changing the Game (Play by Play, #2)Changing the Game by Jaci Burton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another 4 solid star book by Jaci Burton.

I read the first one at the beginning of this year and wondered how JB was going to make me like Liz.  Well, guess what? She did.  Liz apologized for what she did to Tara and Nathan in the first book and got fired by Mick.  Then Liz proceeds to hide from Gavin (Mick's hot little brother that Liz also represents and she's in love with).  When I found out that Liz has been in love with Gavin for several years, my heart went out to her.  Here she is, representing this guy that she loves and he has NO CLUE and is a playboy and she has to watch him with all these different women on his arm all the time.  She's a stronger person than I am, cause I would have been gone.

I adored Gavin from the very beginning.  He was fun and sexy and playful and just a tad bit dominating in the bedroom.  When he realized he had feelings for her, he didn't back away, just kind of pushed it to the side...even when the guys on his baseball team pointed out that he was playing worse when Liz was gone than when she was there.  My problem with Gavin came when Liz finally told him she loved him (of course, any woman would have had a problem then cause of his reaction).  Gavin was a stupid clod who was listening to his grudge holding brother rather than listening to his heart and therefore broke Liz's heart; which is what she was trying to avoid in the first place.  Thankfully Daddy Riley gave his boys a talking to and they realized they were both in the wrong and BOTH apologized to Liz.  In the end, Gavin got the girl and what a sweet way it happened too *sigh*

Now on to the sexin'.  Yep, it gets a whole paragraph to it's self.  Once again, I took several cold showers while reading this.  My husband would have benefited greatly from this book had he been here while I read it; I even told him that *smirk*  I think Gavin could have easily transitioned into black leather pants and had Liz call him "Master".  Would I have minded? NOT ONE BIT!  But while he was so dominating in the bedroom (or living room or porch), he was still very loving to Liz.  I'm surprised it took him so long to recognize his feelings for her.  Of course, Liz gave just as good as he did.  If you read this book for nothing other than the lovin', you won't be disappointed :)

Good grief.  I had lots to say about this one *heehee* Go get the book and read it!

My Reading Habits

I am an avid book reader.  I have even been known to read a good bit of fanfiction (I'm a Twifan...yes, I admit that in public).  Since joining Goodreads I've come to love to do reading challenges.  In case you're like my best friend and have no clue what that might be, let me explain.  A reading challenge can be as simple as setting a reading goal for the year.  Or it can be as complex as one I'm doing next year that is an Artist Color Wheel Challenge - find book covers that are mainly the colors on the color wheel and are the shades of the grey scale. Anyway, I read Book Chick City's blog  http://www.bookchickcity.com/  and they're doing a Mystery/Suspense reading challenge that I'm going to join in on next year.  I'm going to see if I can read 12 mystery/suspense books.  You may be thinking that that isn't a whole lot of books for someone who claims to be an avid reader; and you're right, it's not BUT I normally don't read myste...

Halloween's around the corner

So, I've been working on Hallween designs this week. What you see in the picture is a sneek peek of a set I'm listing next week for Bow*nified Designs Spooky Chic Halloween launch. I've got a OOAK skirt set almost finished and another set ready to cut out. Who'd have thought that I'd be working on Halloween stuff the very week the girls go back to school. I surely didn't. But I feel the need to keep up with what is selling :) And speaking of the girls going back to school this week...I've already subbed for 3 days! It's the first FULL week of school and teachers are missing days. CRAZY! However, I mustn't complain. This at least gets me in the classroom and schools so teachers won't forget me and the principals won't forget me so they can give me a job ;0)

Crafty Round Up for mid-October

 Hi friends!!  I figured I needed to come share my sewing/stitching/quilting updates with you because it's been a while.  So, let's get started... First up is quilty goodness.  And it comes with a story.  Christmas 2021 I bought myself a block of the month subscription from Fig Tree Fabrics for her Manchester by the Sea Mystery BOM program.  If you are not familiar with Joanna and Fig Tree Fabrics, go check her out.  Her stuff is GORGEOUS!!!  I've bought her fabric forever for clothes for the girls.  Joanna does the block of the month programs and sends out fabric and patterns each month and you end up with a beautiful sampler quilt.  Manchester by the Sea was scheduled for April 2022 thru March 2023.  I got a beautiful envelope of fabric and instructions to make blocks each of those months and did not touch a one of them until we came back from Disney last month.  I'm a member of her BOM group on Facebook and have seen the fin...
