In many ways I felt this novel would have really been served by a second good edit-toning down the sex, pushing Scott and Kip toward more decisive moments. I enjoyed their clandestine dates and the times where they actually talked and connected emotionally even though there was way too much sex to interrupt those fleeting encounters. However, despite that, there were some really lovely moments in this story that stood out for me. In many ways it felt as though both Kip and Scott enjoyed the misery they were both enduring and it took a relationship with each other to wake them up. Since I assume he wasn’t paying rent, I felt he could and should have taken the time to decide on a future that would make him happy and yet he was so adrift throughout most of the novel. He was a smart guy and the fact that he lived on the edge of poverty seemed a bit much. Seventy-five percent into this story I really had to dub Kip a saint for putting his own life on hold just to be with Scott.īesides the sheer length of time it took for Scott to basically move forward with his life and pursue his own happiness as opposed to everyone else’s taking main stage, I also had some trouble with how long Kip had remained not only in his parent’s home but in a dead end job. Author Rachel Reid takes her time to develop this idea and while I understood the need for a slow developing story there were times when Scott’s indecision and reasoning were pretty aggravating. However, the daunting and fearful task before Scott, to come out or potentially lose Kip, is huge and not easily navigated. I felt for both of these men and wanted nothing more than to see them get a happy ever after. I found Game Changer by Rachel Reid to be quite good. With the pressures of the playoffs upon him, Scott needs to decide how big a risk he’s willing to take for Kip-and himself. But after weeks of barely leaving the confines of Scott’s penthouse, Kip isn’t sure how much longer he can be Scott’s secret. They begin a passionate relationship full of red-hot sex and sweet romance. The chemistry between them is immediate and undeniable, and finally Scott tells Kip he’s interested and invites him to his penthouse. Scott returns to the smoothie shop every game day, telling Kip-and himself-that he likes to stick to routine when he’s playing well. That guy is Kip Grady, an underemployed college grad who would never in a million years think he had a shot with the rich and famous Scott Hunter. One day he stops at a smoothie shop after a run and is immediately charmed by the cute guy behind the counter. He has lived his entire adult life in the spotlight-and in the closet. BLURB: Scott Hunter is the superstar captain of the New York Admirals hockey team.
