The Game Changer by Lana Ferguson
5.0
I was HYPED to get an ARC of this because Lana Ferguson is quickly becoming my unsung hero. A previous review mentioned that Lanas books were like if Tessa Bailey and Ali Hazelwood had a baby- and that’s about as accurate as it gets. She is a spicy mastermind that knows how to serve you a good plot too.
MMC, Ian, is a sweetheart hockey player that knows how to dirty talk. FMC, Delilah, is a spunky baker with her own cooking show, and knows how to push Ian’s buttons in the best way. I also have to give an extra mention for Delilah’s hilarious dumb ass older brother.
Delilah is hung up on her lifelong crush, Ian, who also happens to be her big brother’s best friend. The two are reconnected when Ian returns home to play hockey after years away due to some unsightly drama. Tension builds when Ian makes a guest appearance on Delilah’s cooking show resulting in some speculating PR rumors. Ian quickly realized just how grown up his best friend’s kid sister has become, while Delilah chases her wildest teenage fantasy’s.
My only negative- the nickname cupcake makes me cringe.
Possible Triggers - parental death, abandonment
Some Tropes: best friends sister, Childhood crush, Fake dating, Secret dating, childhood trauma, parental trauma.
Totally post on GR!
