| Game Changers Book 1 |
New York Admirals captain Scott Hunter takes his pre-game rituals very seriously. In this case, it’s not just a lucky smoothie he’s craving—it’s the man who made it.
Pro hockey star Scott Hunter knows a good thing when he sees it. So, when a smoothie made by juice bar barista Kip Grady precedes Scott breaking his on-ice slump, he’s desperate to recreate the magic...and to get to know the sexy, funny guy behind the counter.
Kip knew there was more to Scott’s frequent visits than blended fruit, but he never let himself imagine being invited back to Scott’s penthouse. Or kissed with reckless abandon, nevermind touched everywhere all at once. When it happens it’s red-hot, incredible and frequent, but also only on Scott’s terms and always behind his closed apartment doors.
Scott needs Kip in his life, but with playoff season approaching, the spotlight on him is suddenly brighter than ever. He can’t afford to do anything that might derail his career…like introducing the world to his boyfriend. Kip is ready to go all-in with Scott—but how much longer will he have to remain a secret?

My Review: 4/5 Stars
I’ve circled back to the beginning of the series at last! I now get to see where it all began. Scott has been hiding who he is for a very long time, and when he finds himself in a bit of a slump on the ice, he knows he needs to do something to get back in the groove of things. He just never expects that his good luck charm would be in the shape of a blueberry smoothie… and the cute guy who makes them. But like any hockey player, you can’t ignore when something works. So he goes back again and again…and it feels like maybe it isn’t the smoothie that is good luck but actually Kip. And soon Scott finds himself taking the biggest risk of all. A relationship with a man. One he feels deep down is worth the risk and what he has been waiting for all this time. But being in a secret relationship isn’t as easy as it sounds. Kip can’t believe that one, the cute guy who came into his workplace is into him, and two, that he is actually a famous hockey player! The more he gets to know Scott, the harder he falls. And being Scott’s secret? He knows Scott is worth it and that together they can figure it out. But the longer they are together and the deeper they fall for one another, Kip can’t help but start to feel the weight of the secret. Will it always be like this? I really loved going back to Scott’s story. I had skipped to Heated Rivalry and we knew Scott was a big influence near the end of that book. He changed it all for those who were scared. So to see how he got there, to see him fall in love and fight for their happiness was really sweet! I can’t wait to read the rest of this series!
