The Game Changer
An instant USA Today bestseller A hockey player and a baker shoot their shot in this steamy new romance by Lana Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author of The Nanny. When a very public breakup becomes a PR nightmare for Ian Chase's team, he hopes to focus on his game, but that suddenly seem less likely than a hat trick. With his career and the team's image in jeopardy, Ian is surprised to find a solution through none other than Delilah Baker, his best friend and teammate's little sister...who isn't so little anymore. Delilah Baker is known as "the darling of baking" on her local cable show, and being in the public eye is her bread and butter. But with her numbers dwindling and her producers turning up the heat, Delilah offers up the half-baked idea to collaborate with her brother's team to entice the hockey fans of Boston to tune in to her show. Delilah thinks it will be a piece of cake--until the team sends Ian Chase, her brother's best friend and the object of a decade-long crush that she's never quite gotten over. Delilah's and Ian's teams think it's a true win-win situation--gaining higher numbers for Delilah's show and casting Ian in a more positive light. And viewers are eating them up like a cupcake, sparking the idea to play up their relationship for the goal of good press. With more than just their careers on thin ice, the line between what's real and what's for show begins to blur, but one thing's for certain: This PR stunt will either be a total game changer--or leave them both totally pucked.

It is an enjoyable sports (hockey) romance where Ian has a toxic relationship with his a father, who happens to be a hockey legend.
The story is told in two points of view. He and Delilah, his best friendâs sister, have had a crush on him since she was little and too scared to go on a school bus.
Naturally, sheâs in a cooking channel show where sheâs the star and Ian has returned to play out his final year in hockey. They reconnect to help each other out and sparks fly.
The best quote is, âDonât be sorry. Be better.â
Not much regarding the sport other than Ian is on the team, and later he's on the ice, but the sex scenes are spicy. Personally, I cringe when they write, "I want you to spit on me and then I want to spit on you." Not my kind of thing but it was said a couple of times. LOL
Story is 3.5/5 stars
Rounded up to 4

I love Lana but this book was not for me. it took me a while to like this book. I had to sit myself and make myself finished this book. Ian and Delilah childhood friends but she was always in love with him. I think this book needed a little bit more of drama.
