THE SERIES THAT INSPIRED HEATED RIVALRY • NOW A #1 STREAMING SHOW
Enter the world of Game Changers, the series behind the epic enemies-to-lovers hockey romance Heated Rivalry, streaming on Crave in Canada and on HBO Max in the U.S.
A friends-with-benefits arrangement between a veteran goalie and a much-younger man leaves them both wanting more, by New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Rachel Reid.
Veteran goaltender Eric Bennett has faced down some of the toughest shooters on the ice, but nothing prepared him for his latest challenge—life after hockey. It’s time to make some big changes, starting with finally dating men for the first time.
Graduate student Kyle Swift moved to New York nursing a broken heart. He’d sworn to find someone his own age to crush on (for once). Until he meets a gorgeous, distinguished silver fox hockey player. Despite their intense physical attraction, Kyle has no intention of getting emotionally involved. He’ll teach Eric a few tricks, have some mutually consensual fun, then walk away.
Eric is more than happy to learn anything Kyle brings to the table. And Kyle never expected their friends-with-benefits arrangement to leave him wanting more. Happily-ever-after might be staring them in the face, but it won’t happen if they're too stubborn to come clean about their feelings.
Everything they want is within reach… They just have to be brave enough to grab it.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This warm, steamy romance explores what it means to start over when the life you planned is coming to a close. Eric Bennett is an NHL goaltender who’s nearing retirement and ready to explore a part of himself he’s kept on hold. Kyle Swift, a charming grad student and bartender, is drawn to older men but determined not to get emotionally involved again. As always, this installment in Rachel Reid’s Game Changers series excels at pairing emotional stakes with genuine tenderness. Eric’s careful, structured approach to life contrasts beautifully with Kyle’s confidence and curiosity, and their chemistry is both playful and deeply felt. The age gap isn’t treated as a gimmick but as something both men navigate as they learn what they actually want. Cooper North’s narration brings relaxed charm to Kyle and gentle introspection to Eric, making their dynamic feel close and natural. Common Goal is a satisfying listen about choosing happiness even when it feels risky.
