Game Changer

Game Changer by Sylvie Stewart was a fun book! It was quite humorous and I really liked the characters. It’s full of witty banter and such a sweet romance. I really liked Poppy and Mac’s chemistry. I really liked Poppy being from Savannah and her sassy ness. Overall I liked it and enjoyed the writing! 4 star rating!

5 Stars

Game Changer is one of the funniest and most engaging stories I have read this year. This gem is the work of Sylvie Stewart and is hands down my favourite book of hers that I’ve read (so far)! This book is a romantic comedy- but there is so much more to this superb story- because woven through the storyline is some wonderful tension, sizzling chemistry, steamy encounters, dramatic moments, a little angsty push-pull, and lots of heartfelt emotion.
I was introduced to Ms. Stewart through her Carolina Connections series and was immediately hooked. I didn’t think this story could beat the other books I’d read- but I was wrong! If I could give this more than 5 Stars, I would. It was so much fun to read, wonderfully engaging, with all the feels to give it even more depth and connectivity. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
Poppy James has spread her wings and has set flight to make her dreams come true. This down home Georgia peach has left everything and everyone she loves back home to move to New York to join a national magazine as Creative Director. That’s if the team can give the publication a complete makeover, and win over the board of directors in the process. There is a lot riding on their success. This is her big chance to change her life and she’s determined not to mess it up. She is desperate to be taken seriously, so she says “Goodbye” to Georgia Poppy, and “Hello” New York Poppy.
But the annoying and impossible to ignore subject of her artisan showcase interview throws an anvil in her plans and becomes a huge distraction for her- distraction with a capital D.
Mac is what we’d call tall, dark, and brooding. He’s a hot hunk of tattooed goodness, the strong silent type, who has such an intensity about him that he scares most people away. That suits him fine. He doesn’t ‘do’ people. He has his workshop, his forge, and his creations- they won’t let him down. But people do. He comes with quite a lot of baggage which really weighs him down. Poppy will have her work cut out for her to even get him to agree to speak with her, let alone give her anything much to write about. But fate has a way of interfering.
I LOVED Poppy and MAC- they are really wonderful characters who were so perfect for each other. Their chemistry was off the charts- electrifying!!! They really made this one deliciously Hot and Sexy read. But all the characters played their part to make this story stand out from the crowd- this was a stellar cast- with secondary characters who made an impact. Some were so loveable, like Cookie and Naveed- as well as some not so nice personalities who added an element of drama to the whole story. They all made this a very entertaining read.
The wit and humour were so on point- with such funny banter, quips, and antics- I was laughing out loud quite a lot through the book. I love the addition of the ‘southernisms’ and the ‘Cookie Quotes’- it was very clever of Ms. Stewart and added more personality to the story. Poppy cracked me up with some of her analogies, and self-talk!
This story was so well written I could ‘hear’ Poppy’s voice, southern accent and all, in my head as I read along. When Mac grunted or ‘spoke’ with his eyebrows, I could see/feel it. There wasn’t an element of this story that was left untouched by Ms. Stewart’s attention to detail and vividly descriptive touches- and because of that, the whole book came alive and ‘played out’ before my eyes. It takes true talent to achieve that!
On an interesting note, this book seems to be a crossover with Rule Breaker by Phoebe Alexander, as the two books share characters, and other major details. I have really enjoyed both books, and the clever, entertaining, and original stories both authors have produced using the shared elements. While both books can be read as standalones, I really recommend reading both!
I cannot recommend “Game Changer” highly enough! Seriously, do yourself a favour and grab yourself a copy to enjoy. You really won’t regret it!
Superb!!

Thank you, Ms. Stewart!

I have been an avid fan of Sylvie Stewart’s books since her very first one. I have loved every single one of them and they keep getting better and better!

I loved just how Mac and Poppy were the perfect fit for one another. They were complete opposites but it worked so well that the match up complemented each other instead of feeling off. I loved the banter between the two and the chemistry that burned the pages.

To say I inhaled this book is a complete understatement. It was one of those books I wanted to savor and slow down but I kept telling myself “one more chapter” and suddenly it was 230am and the book was done. Definitely a 5 star read!

Game Changer by Sylvie Stewart is an opposites attract romantic comedy. This is not the first book I’ve read by this author and I was not disappointed.

Poppy leaves behind all expectations and heads to New York City. It seems like she may have left some of herself behind too as she tries to hide her southern accent. She thinks she needs to fit a New York City polished image. It isn’t until she meets Mac that everything she thought is turned upside down. Mac isn’t easy to get to know at first but Poppy realizes Mac might be the only one that understands.

Poppy and Mac’s story unfolds slowly but with a lot of laughs and a lot of feels. It doesn’t get better than that!

Game Changer is a romance comedy by an author that is new to me. There were some very comical moment while reading but also some that made me want to scream. It’s a story that revolves around Poppy and Mac. Poppy gets like a golden opportunity for a career and she takes it to move from Georgia to NYC. Mac is more like the silent type while poppy is like a talkative parrot. There are many other characters that are involved and maybe there is a possible book 2 for involving two of them. I would recommend for anyone that enjoys the rom-com and the banter to pick this book up.

Oh my word! I love everything about this book- Such lovable, realistic characters; amazingly Vivid descriptions. I could not put this book down. I wanted to be Poppy. I vacillated from wanting to give Mac a giant hug to screaming in his face! Please continue this into a second book! 5 stars!

Pure fun. Absolutely 100% couldn’t put it down. This was the perfect book to pick up for my afternoon and I flew through it. The characters – living in the south I ADORED the character of Poppy. All of the characters were extremely well written. This page turner is staying at the top of my list and will be one I gladly pick up on my next lazy afternoon. Wonderful writing – cannot wait to read more from this author.

I have to say that the only thing wrong with this book was the time it took me to actually read it.I had it in my to be read pile and I finally got to it and then regretted that I had not gotten to it sooner..But atleast I remedied the mistake and I laughed and enjoyed it sooooo.. So my friends do not make the same mistake, enjoy this southern belle Poppy and her dark and tall and handsome Macy and how well opposites do attract..Enjoy!

Opposites attract. The story is enchanting because of how they were able to read each on a passionate level. It has the rom com feel as well with a twist to make it a page turner. The way they came to understand each other is romantic and bittersweet.
