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.

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

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.
(view spoiler)
Also I didn’t feel any love from the H. He keeps whining about how his life is so unhappening. He has to look after his special need kid, his wife is dead, blah blah. He envies his previous life when he was a player and had fun.
(view spoiler)
I have read so many good boss nanny romance that this seems pale in comparison.

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.

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 def ...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.

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 w ...more

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!

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.

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

Oh Wow! Get the tissues ready for this fantastic book. It had me laughing and crying and wanting to knock some sense into both of the main characters.

Game Changer is the first book in the Change of Hearts series and this book will capture your heart and hold it hostage. This is no ordinary single dad/nanny romance this one is a game changer. It is heart wrenching, touching, moving and seriously affecting. Your anxiety will be high at times, tears will form but it will all be worth it for the happiness their story will bring to your soul. Garrett and Brooklyn have a chemistry that sparks off the pages and heats you from your fingertips to your

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

My heart!!!! Gah! Seriously,,,, my heart broke for Coach Garret and his son Caleb,,, and then Brooklyn comes along and makes it so much better! I really don't want to give anything away, because there is SO MUCH MORE than just Brooklyn coming along and making life better! This book has my emotions all over the place! I've cried, screamed, laughed, got mad AGAIN,, turned off my Kindle, swore at it, then ultimately turned it back on and fell in love again! This book is so much MORE than just a lov

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

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

This story is Amazing, Heart wrenching and all around Swoony! Sierra has done an awesome job with telling this story of a single father, of a son with a disability, Caleb, that he feels he caused. I literally teared up through moments in the book. Garrett is a single father, coach and widow. He has a lot he is dealing with and Brooklyn walks into his and Caleb's life when they need her the most. The relationship that blooms between Brooklyn and Caleb made my heart so happy and the relationship b

Game Changer is the first standalone book in the Change of Hearts series and my first time reading Sierra Hill, and I thoroughly enjoyed this emotional, swoon-worthy single-dad romance. Garrett and his adorable son Caleb quickly won my heart, and Brooklyn was perfect infusion of love and understanding when she came into their lives. She helped Garrett heal and made their family whole again, and their happily ever after is the ultimate feel-good experience. Don’t miss this poignant, heartwarming,

This story was so cute!! I’m a total sucker for single dad romances, KEEP THEM COMING! Brooklyn was an absolute sweetheart, she was a sweet to Caleb and other around her. She was a great character and an amazing fit for Garret. Brooklyn definitely broken Garret’s hard exterior and made him realize life is too short to just waste it. Garret was a really great dad, from the beginning of the story. His life completely revolved around his son’s life. I really liked Brooklyn and Garret together. They
