APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Two hockey players who’ve long kept their love a secret find themselves at a crossroads in this heart-wrenching romance from Rachel Reid. Ilya and Shane are both star players. To the world, they’re rivals, but to each other, they’re everything. They both treasure what they have together, but 10 years is a long time to stay in the closet, and the strain of it is beginning to show. Reid first told the story of how Ilya and Shane got together in the book Heated Rivalry, and we certainly recommend it. But she does a fantastic job here of establishing the achingly romantic bond between these two, complete with intimate conversation, private jokes, and gorgeously sweet, subtle gestures. There’s such honesty and vulnerability to these characters—especially Ilya, who’s become the fan favorite of the entire Game Changers series—that we were positively yearning to see them find their way to the happiness they deserve. Cooper North brings a perfect balance of softness and humor to his narration, giving us a clear window into the relationship we’re wholeheartedly rooting for.
Customer Reviews
Tears in my eyes
This book feels deeper and more intimate than the others. It’s not about rivalry anymore it’s about what happens after you choose each other. Shane and Ilya struggle, they stumble, but they keep trying. And that’s what makes it powerful.
My Heart is full of love and joy
This book is a wonderful way to address love and sexiness all in one. Definitely one of my favorites. This whole collection is top tier ❤️🔥
Love the book, but…
Okay absolutely love the book, however I had to stop listening to the audio book. They changed the voice actor from the Heated Rivalry book. And it bothered me to much to keep listening. It was Ilya’s voice that just didn’t work and it annoyed me that the voices changed.
