“I’ve never loved anyone more than I love Mac McKinley.”
Game Changer was a hilarious, bubbly, unique bowl of fun. A true romantic comedy, it had me giggling every few pages. I even shed a couple of tears when we hit the climax and things started getting real. This is my first review and read of one of Stewart’s works, and I was not disappointed.
Poppy, our leading lady, is a spunky, red-headed firecracker from Savannah, Georgia who desperately wants to leave her hometown and move to the Big Apple. Well, she’s not one to sit around and wait for her dreams to fulfill themselves, so she packs up and moves to New York with no job and no place to call her own. She moves in with a long-time friend and applies to work for her dream company as a designer for their magazine. She gets the job and MORE and ends up as artistic director for the rebranding of the magazine!! So…things are looking up for her. Enter: Angus McKinley. Our leading man and Poppy’s soul mate. Angus (or Mac as he prefers to be called) is a blacksmith and an artist. He designs and builds custom furniture pieces and makes BANK. Poppy interviews him for the first issue of the re-branded magazine, but it takes some convincing. Turns out, Mac is reeeeally into Poppy and her red-headed southern-ness.
Mac has a LOT of issues. Family issues, trust issues, communication issues, I could go on…but the cool thing about this duo is that Poppy doesn’t let that dissuade her. She listens to her gut and keeps a level head (for the most part) about their relationship. She knows when Mac needs her and vice versa. She also listens to him when he tells her something the first time and doesn’t sit around dwelling on it, wondering if he meant what he said. Truly, a breath of fresh air in the romance department.
These two lovers have explosive chemistry and rock solid dialogue. This novel was entertaining and original. I would highly recommend! Great work, Stewart! 🙂
