King of the Court Series
A Grumpy Sunshine Sports Romance Trilogy
by Piper Lawson
🎧 NOW ON AUDIO! 🎧
Here’s what to expect from Clay and Nova’s story:
🏀 sports romance
💜 grumpy sunshine
🏀 pro athlete hero
💜 dirty talker
🏀 she doesn’t know who he is
💜 he saves her
A steamy, grumpy sunshine sports romance featuring a woman down on her luck, a star basketball player with a filthy mouth, and a connection neither of them can deny.
After being dumped and losing my job the same week, the last thing my broken heart needs is a rebound.
I’m escaping across the country to help my perfect sister plan her dream wedding, and to prove to both of us everything is under control.
But a combination of tequila and turbulence on the flight there lead to word-vomiting all my troubles to the huge and handsome stranger in the first-class seat next to mine.
Only his whispered dirty diversions keep me sane until landing.
Despite the spark of attraction, we go our separate ways.
Or so I thought.
Turns out the tall, muscular, tattooed tower of a man from the plane is the star player on my future brother-in-law’s pro basketball team.
Clay is the last person I should gravitate toward. They’re called “players” for a reason.
Grumpy and cynical, he carries a weight on his shoulders I can’t possibly fathom.
He’s also the only one who knows my secrets and gets my heart racing.
The more we’re thrust together, the stronger the chemistry between us becomes.
Hooking up with the all-star athlete isn’t the way to get my life on track…but it could just be the game changer we’ve both been searching for.
Game Changer is a grumpy sunshine sports romance and book 1 in the King of the Court trilogy. Clay and Nova’s steamy, banter-filled story continues in Shot Taker and concludes in Play Maker.

🎧🎧AUDIO REVIEW🎧🎧
OVERALL: 5 STARS
I LOVE THIS UNIVERSE!!! This trilogy is kind of connected to Tempt (Off-Limits series) via Kat (FMC of Tempt) and we got a tiny little crumb of what’s to come for Clay at the end :) So, yeah, to me, the Off-Limits trilogy, Tempt, and King of the Court trilogy are interconnected, and I LOVE THEM ALL! Lol
PERFORMANCE: 4.5 STARS
Lance Greenfield has never been a top-pick narrator for me before but I gotta say that his performance along with Carly’s was ridiculously good! I’m used to Carly already and have loved everything I’ve listened to by her, but this is a brand-new Lance for me, and I am loving him!
STORY: 5 STARS
Game Changer was such a great combination of character building, romance journey building and storyline building that for a hot-minute, I forgot who I was reading and let my guard down. It was all so ridiculously blissful and then BAM, Piper Lawson strikes again. Dear Piper, STOP.IT. LOL She is the queen of trilogies and cliffhangers. She doesn’t just write stories that need a break or come to a fork so a *pause* is necessary for the impact of the story, nooooooooooo, she almost always upends everything like a tiny tornado and leaves you slack jawed, like … ”wait, what now?”!!
Nova & Clay have a really great meet-cute and their story is pretty much easy-peasy, until it isn’t, which if you’ve ever read Piper Lawson before, you should be ready for. DO NOT LET YOUR GUARD DOWN! lolololol I can’t wait to dive into the next installment!
He leads the league in scoring. My heart won’t give him another shot.
I swore I’d never come back to Denver.
I’d never trust the wrong man again.
But here I am, back in the same place as the bad boy athlete who broke my heart.
Clay rules the basketball court, and now he’s gunning for redemption. But I’m not the same girl who fell for the man behind the all-star image and reputation.
He made me want him like I’ve never wanted anyone.
He made me feel like I was the only thing that mattered.
A single look can make me ache.
A whispered promise in his gruff voice makes my chest tight.
Clay’ll do anything to prove we’re worth another shot.
Shot Taker is a full-length grumpy sunshine sports romance and book 2 in the King of the Court series. Clay and Nova’s story begins in Game Changer and concludes in Play Maker.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW & RATING: 4.5 STARS
Well, my love for all things Lance Greenfield is still growing strong! Carly and Lance make a really good team as Clay & Nova, and I can’t wait for the next installment in this trilogy (but not really because there’s a book 4 lol).
STORY REVIEW & RATING: 4 STARS
I’ve always found Piper Lawson’s style of writing to be easy to get lost in. She has a way of pulling you into her stories and making you want to be a part of the plot. This story is no different and I especially want to be friends with Clay! I mean his comeback from the stupidity he pulled was a thing a beauty and it really showcased how good Piper is with character growth. Nova also did a whole lot of growing in this segment and it all just made me happy from the inside out!
I went into this trilogy already loving the ”world” it was loosely connected to, and I still love it, maybe even more :)
Now, for the not so perfect part … I just have a couple of things that I couldn’t not mention.
✔️ In all honesty, as much as I liked the storyline in this installment, it was completely unnecessary to make it its own complete installment. You run a huge risk if this happens because you might turn off readers from reading forward and it’s just not necessary, not for the events that transpired.
✔️ There are a few plot discrepancies between the first book and the second that are very minute, but they happened and UGH, WHY? Lol
✔️ Nova & Clay are surrounded by people some seriously wacked out people. That’s it. That’s the statement LOLOL
Looking forward to seeing how this storyline progresses in Play Maker and hoping against hope we are done with the break-up/make-up madness!! We shall see :)
