Game Changers (Nichole Rose) Books in Order

This sports-romance series starts with a charmingly ridiculous premise. One drunken night and a few silly prediction games end up shaping the futures of a group of curvy women who suddenly find themselves on a crash course with professional athletes.

That gives the series a more openly rom-com structure than some of Rose's other sports books. Fate is involved, but in a playful way. The games themselves, MASH, eff-marry-kill, and other half-serious bets, become the spark that makes the romances feel inevitable and slightly chaotic from the start.

The titles also suggest a modern, bantery voice. These are likely books where teasing, sibling or friend commentary, and public sports fame all keep the energy moving.

If you want athletes without the more intense team politics of the hockey series, and you like the idea of fate entering through a joke that stops being a joke, Game Changers looks like a fun place to land.
