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.

New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Rachel Reid brings you exactly what you want—more Shane and Ilya!

To the world they are rivals, but to each other they are everything.

Ten years.

That’s how long Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been seeing each other. How long they’ve been keeping their relationship a secret. From friends, from family…from the league. If Shane wants to stay at the top of his game, what he and Ilya share has to remain secret. He loves Ilya, but what if going public ruins everything?

Ilya is sick of secrets. Shane has gotten so good at hiding his feelings, sometimes Ilya questions if they even exist. The closeness, the intimacy, even the risk that would come with being open about their relationship…Ilya wants it all.

It’s time for them to decide what’s most important—hockey or love.

It’s time to make a call.

Beautiful Happily ever after

This book is a beautiful ending to the Hollander/Rosanov story. They get their happily ever after and we get to delight in it! I much prefer this narrator to the one in the first 3 books.

Regret that I waited so long to listen to this

I put off listening to this book because of some of the reviews. I want to say that I have listened to Cooper North and have enjoyed him on other books. The problem here is with Cooper doing Ilya. Biggest complaint is that he was not consistent. At times Ilya would go from a Russian accent into an American accent with no reason for the change. I never lost track of Ilya, but it would take me out of the story sometimes because it was jarring. With that being said, his Russian also made Ilya sound like Gru from the Despicable Me Movie. Once that hit my brain I could not stop grinning. I found it very funny after that. I really enjoyed the story and the ups and downs of the book. We all knew it was not going to go smoothly, but I appreciate the author making sure that we get the story ending we all wanted for this couple. I also appreciated the cohesiveness with the timeline from previous books. I can only imagine how difficult that was for the author. I am imagining lots of plot boards with yarn intersections Give this a try. It was very hot and very romantic at times as well.

Loved!!!

Great book! I’m sad to have it end. The depth, humor and love between the main characters and others was so enjoyable to be a part of. Bravo to Rachel and Cooper!

Why did you change the narrator?

Thank goodness for Ilya and Shane, we live them so, and this story continues the epic story. But wtf? You changed the narrator! This dude sucks compared to the other guy. You get used to him after a while but his Russian accent is way different as are all his characters. Sometimes continuity is a good thing

Ilya & Shane ❤️

LOVED this book, I read it a few months ago and completely fell in love with Ilya and Shane.
Narration was 💯, loved Ilya’s parts ❤️
