Up until two years ago, I was living large and my life’s priorities were anchored to three things – my NBA stardom, money and celebrity.
I was also a colossal dick.
Until one night turned my world upside down and I suffered unspeakable loss. That event changed the man I was and made me a widowed-single father.

Ugh! This book is bad. So bad. Single daddy and nanny romance is usually interesting to read. However this book is poorly written. The dialog between Brooklyn and Garret os so stiff. Because of that, the character is only one dimensional.
The plot, the writting surely can be improved much better than this.

I really need to learn not to be so damn stubborn. I picked up this book because I want to read the next book in the series. But within the first few pages I pretty much knew it wasn't for me. However I like Sierra Hill's Courting Love series and I want to read the next book in this series and I really hate not finishing a book once I start it. So really the issue is I'm a stubborn idiot who wasted her day.

The heroine seems like the SECOND best.
The hero LOVED his dead wife. And he keeps remembering his wife while talking with the h and also in general.
The h is the main initiator here. She kisses him first and she even asks him to fuck her. But he pushes her away. Then the next day he starts touching her while she is asleep and then they have sex.
This constant hot and cold behavior of the H sucked.
The h’s desperate act was unlikable.

Game Changer was so much more than what I expected. This book has all the feels, and seriously, I felt like I knew the characters and was right there with them. Garrett was an NBA player and had everything, until a car accident took his wife and left his son, Caleb with a traumatic brain injury. Garrett is now an assistant coach at a university, and Caleb is his main focus. His nanny has retired so he is looking for a nanny for the summer. Brooklyn is a grad student studying child de ...more

Garrett hired a beautiful nanny Brooklyn for his special

vertical & horizontal. Garrett acted immature & critical.
His brooding self had a one note quality. I did not see
the attraction between these two MCs. 3 women were
stuck in Garrett's head and "gummed up" the works.
The author should have spent more time w/ sweet Caleb.

My dang heart after reading this book, just omg!! Brooklyn comes into the lives of Garrett and Caleb just when they need her the most. And the rest as they say is history. Brooklyn with Caleb is about the sweetest thing I’ve ever read. Just I think my heart was smiling and just bursting with every scene between them. And then Garrett, a little rough and gruff around the edges but deep down has a heart of gold. To see these three together just seriously my heart. I loved this book and these chara

I really enjoyed this book. Garrett is a single father to his special needs son, Caleb and I think that is why this book really pulled me in. I am a mother to a special needs daughter and I know all the struggles that he is going through. The questions, the stares, sometimes having to do everything for your child. I have been there and doing that and I could really relate with Garrett on this part of his life. It is hard and then when you are doing it yourself, that makes it even harder. Finding

Sierra Hill delivered a heartwarming and sweet romance that will fill your romantic heart. This was my first book by Sierra and I was blown away. How have I not read anything by her before? I need to remedy that.
The characters were caring and loveable and the story was relateable. I was pulled in from that very first page. As I turned the pages I fell harder and harder for these two. And that special sweet boy took a piece of my heart. I loved everything about this book and I can’t wait to read ...more

Game Changer is the first book in Sierra Hill’s Change of Hearts series, which is a spin-off of the Courting Love series. Although we get to see more of characters from the Courting Love series, it’s not necessary to have read the series to understand Game Changer. Game Changer is a complete standalone and can be read without having read any of Sierra Hill’s prior books.
From the start, Game Changer had me hooked. It was a sweet story, yet there was plenty of emotion to deal with throughout. The ...more

So much potential here for a one of a kind sports-romance with all the bells and whistles, too. Except it didn't really reach its potential for this reader. It was lacking in areas I felt needed so much more and in the end felt so incomplete.
Garrett wasn't my favorite in the role of the H -- in fact, I didn't much care for him for most of the book. Oh, he had his good points and I won't deny he was a great father to Caleb, and one whom had to learn that chore the hard way. But he definitely wasn ...more

Caring for Caleb is a full time job and as a successful college basketball coach, Garrett can’t manage without a live-in nanny.

She’s the balm to my soul and a light in my darkest corner.”
If there’s one trope that makes my heart flip inside my chest, it’s the single daddy/nanny tale, and when you add into the mix a sports-themed romance with a hunkilicious ex-baller struggling to raise a special needs child, then I am a TOTAL GONER!

This book is adorably, heartbreakingly awesome.
Coach Garrett Parker has had a very tragic few years.
Brooklyn is about to enter grad school when she hears of a summer job nannying for Coach Parker and his son with traumatic brain damage.
This story was very easy to read. Smoking hot. Achingly heartbreaking. And awesome fabulous! I highly recommend!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I really felt for Garrett and everything he went through. I thought Brooklyn was the breath of fresh air he and Caleb needed. I did want to punch him at times. He was sick an A** sometimes. I’m glad he got his head out of his butt and saw why was right in front of him. He was an amazing dad and Brooklyn was a great addition to their family. Her love for them was real and I felt for her at the end. I’m glad they found their happy ending. This wa

Garrett is not book boyfriend. He seems to be a great father and coach. Where I see him failing was in communication with Brooklyn. She was also poor in communication when she overheard things and assumed but for most part she was a strong caring woman, especially for her age.
I totally liked how Caleb was nurtured by both Garrett and Brooklyn. Caleb was a special kid.
Good read

Game Changer by Sierra Hill is the first book in the Change of Heart series and it had me completely sucked into the story from the very beginning. I love a good sports romance and nanny book and this combined the two beautifully. A sweet romance with plenty of swoon and so many feels that made it nearly impossible to put down.

I love stories about hot, single dads who fall for their nanny who is amazing with his child. Totally serious here, it's a great storyline and Brooklyn is awesome. I like that she's smart and confident and capable of doing things for herself. She and Garrett have good chemistry and seeing her bond with Caleb was so sweet. The relationship took a little bit of time to form which gave it a realistic feeling and I love that Garrett put Caleb first.

This was my first book by this author, but it won’t be my last. Garrett and Brooklyn had such a realistic, somewhat painful story. Garrett had to learn to let go of his guilt to find the good in life, while Brooklyn had to learn that being a strong woman doesn’t mean that you can’t also lean on a good man once in a while. They had their ups and downs, but Brooklyn was no doormat and let Garrett know that she wouldn’t be used until her convenience wore out for him. Because of that, they both had

Game Changers by Sierra Hill a five-star read that will change your game. This is the first novel in the Change of Hearts series, and I can’t wait for the rest, as this has just been amazing. Coach Garrett is sublime, but his pain hurts your heart, he is so well written that you won’t be able to stop falling for him. This is a gut-wrenching story, but it will also uplift you and make you happy that you read the great story. Caleb is a complex character and watching him grow and blossom just gave
