Heated Rivalry was an emotional rollercoaster - frustration, yearning, jealousy, desire, need - and The Long Game felt like slowly being stitched back together. This is everything I felt, everything I lived, and the quotes that will never leave me.

Rachel Reid’s Heated Rivalry and The Long Game, both part of the Game Changers series, deliver one of the most unforgettable slow-burn romances in sports fiction. Through NHL rivals Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, Reid crafts a relationship overflowing with yearning, tension, heartbreak, healing, and profound love. These novels don’t just tell a story—they pull you straight into the emotional intensity of two athletes fighting for both their careers and each other.
