Game Changer

Disclaimer: I'm usually not a big fan of so-called “alpha” heroes because, frankly, that translates to “jerk-of-a-douchecanoe” way more often than not.
And just as frankly, someone like Mac would drive me absolutely nucking futs IRL. But he is so much fun to read about!
And Poppy with her Southern charm and - dare I say it - sass* is a wonderful (and sometimes hilarious) counterpoint to all that silent, manly broodiness.

I especially loved the little details, like the Cookie-isms at the beginning of each chapter, Poppy's Southern posse (including Bunny!), the description of Mac's eloquent eyebrows, and the overall concept of family (not necessarily blood relations).

This story gave me all the feels, from smiles, to snorts, to laughs, to swoons, to tears. So... if you think of reading this book on public transportation: You have been warned!

* I'm usually not a big fan of “sassy” heroines, either. Go figure.
