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.

Good story. Great narration.

This was a good read that covered some serious topics. I had a bit of trouble connecting Troy's character in this book with how he was portrayed earlier in the series. His friendship with Dallas was hard to disconnect, but the author did a good job of showing Troy's vulnerabilities which might have been the reason he befriended Dallas originally.

I enjoyed seeing glimpses of characters from previous series, and I am looking forward to the next book and hopefully another audiobook narrated by Cooper North whose performance made me believe Troy was really a good guy.

Love this story

This is one of my favorite comfort reads, I have listened to it so many times. I love Troy’s redemption story, how he and Harris are so amazingly sweet together. I love all the scenes featuring Ilya in particular, my all-time favorite character. He’s the best. All the scenes with Chiron the puppy are my favorites too. And Cooper North somehow manages to make this already fantastic book ten times better. I can’t recommend it enough!

MUCH BETTER…than Book 4…

…since Book 3 was a bit disappointing.

This one…fabulous! I loved the two main characters and their story and, of course, ILYA!

Cooper did a great job narrating, and I was pleasantly surprised by his much-improved ILYA voice. 😌

This series is wonderful, and I can’t wait for the next book!

Enjoy!💖

Just delightful!

This book is a great addition to the series. The main characters are multi-dimensional and interesting and as usual, the hockey feels like the author actually knows what she’s talking about, and we see (and enjoy!) characters from past books. I can hardly wait for the next book.

Gets better and better!

Cooper North is such a rockstar with this audiobook. Harris and Troy are my favorite couple, just barely inching above Fabian and Ryan, but well below Ilya and Shane.

Their story is simply wonderful and makes me cry every time. But still…Shane and Ilya forever.
