Game Changer: The Playbook Series Book 3

by Emma Lea

No one ever got a second chance to make a great first impression. That was something Jack Daniels knew all too well. (Yes, that was his real name. No, he was not related to that Jack Daniels). Jack wouldn’t normally care what someone else thought of him, but when it impacted his job? That was another matter entirely. It wasn’t even his fault, not really. If anyone was to blame for Jack making an absolute fool of himself in front of his new neighbour it was his ‘friend’ Carter. But now Jack had to make things right…or he would miss out on the biggest coup of his career.

 Dianna Fletcher was just trying to live her best life. Yes, she suffered with chronic pain and no, it wasn’t all in her head. It made getting in to the office every day a bit of a challenge, but that was what the internet was for, right? Working from home was a legitimate way to do her job, even if some people didn’t agree. Besides, she was currently experiencing one of the highest points of her career as a game designer…the launch of a game she conceptualised and ran point on from design to production…and the biggest game to come out of Black Sheep Software and Gaming ever. She was living the dream and it should have been the best time of her life if not for the little snag of the grumpy DILF living next door.

 Dianna would have quite happily gone on ignoring Jack for the rest of eternity, but her boss had other ideas. Now Dianna and Jack had to work together in order to promote her game launch. Dianna would have been quite happy to work with anyone else at The Playbook, but that wasn’t an option. Jack—the grumpy DILF next door—was the guy who could take her game launch from good to great. Working with Jack would be a game changer…if only she didn’t hate him so much.

About the author

I am a business owner, artist, cook, mother and wife. I live on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia with my wonderful husband, two beautiful sons, a dog and a cat (both of which are female because, hey, we needed to balance all that testosterone!)

I am a ferocious reader with eclectic tastes and have always wanted to write, but never had the opportunity due to one reason or another (excuses, really) until finally taking the bullet between my teeth in 2014 and just making myself do it.

I love to write stories with heart and a message and believe in strong female characters who do not necessarily have to be aggressive to show their strength.

Oh my goodness! I’ve been wanting to read about Jack since the beginning of this series! This book definitely did not disappoint! I really enjoyed getting know more about him and his son Riley! I loved seeing them together and how protective he was. Dianna was the perfect person for Jack! They both were gamers and had lots of fun together! Once they got together you knew it was going to be something special! They were definitely meant for one another! 🥰

I didn't expect to enjoy this novel as much as I did, but I couldn't put it down. I believed the connection between the characters and I wanted them to make things work - and also learn about their secret gamer identities. I think this story particularly spoke to me as the heroine has chronic pain and her experiences are not dissimilar to mine, in terms of how her pain presents.

Jack and Dianne. What a pair! Someone needs to talk to John Mellancamp.

This pair is definitely interesting. Someone needs to do something with Carter. The guy knows too much about everyone.
Jack's life is complicated enough without Dianne in it
