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 grumpy hockey player meets his match in a sunny, out-and-proud social media manager, by New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Rachel Reid.
The hits just keep coming for Troy Barrett. Traded to the worst team in the league would be bad enough, but coming on the heels of a messy breakup and a recent scandal… Troy just wants to play hockey and be left alone. He definitely doesn’t want to “work on his online presence" with the team’s peppy social media manager.
Harris Drover can tell standoffish Troy isn’t happy about the trade, but Harris doesn’t give up on people easily. Even when he’s developing a crush he’s sure is one-sided. And when he sees Troy’s smile finally crack through his grumpy exterior… That’s a man Harris couldn’t turn his back on if he wanted to.
Suddenly, Troy’s move to the new team feels like an opportunity—for Troy to embrace his true self, and for both men to explore their growing attraction. But being together behind closed doors is one thing, and for Troy, being in a public relationship with Harris will mean facing off with his fears, once and for all.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Reid keeps on scoring in her fifth hockey-themed Game Changers romance (after Common Goal), which kicks off as closeted Troy Barrett is traded to the Ottawa Centaurs. Troy is still reeling after confronting Dallas Kent, his former teammate and ex-best friend, over accusations that Dallas is a sexual predator. He's also reevaluating the homophobic persona and bad behavior their friendship brought out in him. Troy is initially ill-at-ease in Ottawa, but he has an ally in the team's captain, series regular (and Reid's charming secret weapon) Ilya Rozanov. He also soon develops a crush on the team's out and proud social media manager, Harris Drover. As Troy spends time with Harris, driving around looking at Christmas lights, the men silently acknowledge their attraction. But it takes a near-death experience for them give in to their passions. Obstacles to their happy ending come in subplots about Harris's heart condition and Troy's homophobic father, though these threads go slightly underdeveloped. Instead, it's Troy's need to figure out how to live authentically as an openly gay athlete that drives this gratifying coming-out story. Series fans will feel right at home.

oh. my. god.
this was my second favorite couple of the series. Shane and ilya get fist obviously, but troy and harris…ahhhhh so good
READ. THIS. BOOK.
Ok listen I LOVE all Rachel Reid books. There is only one in this series that I have not finished (in progress though) so I think you can listen to me when I say. THIS. IS. THE. ONE. The story has some of the best character development I’ve seen in a while, and the characters are SO cute. I also love that you get a lot more Ilya in this story, and it’s really cool to see their friendship and influence on each other. It’s genuinely a perfect story. I wish there were more books following Troy and Harris. I want more!!! Please don’t skip this book when you are reading the game changers series. This is probably tied for my favorite (with the Long Game because I can’t not love that one too). READ IT!!!!
The Best Ending
This book is so well written from beginning to end. The contrast of characters, the growth of Troy and the many realizations and triumphant moments were all so special, but the ending was what really had me in tears. This book was made even better because of the previous books in the series. Read them all in order to get the full impact! 10/10 would recommend.
