About this ebook

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.

It all starts here with Scott and Kip’s steamy secret-relationship romance by New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Rachel Reid.

New York Admirals captain Scott Hunter takes his pregame rituals very seriously. When a particular smoothie precedes Scott's breaking his on-ice slump, he’s desperate to recreate the magic…and to get to know the sexy, funny guy behind the counter.

Kip Grady knew there was more to Scott’s frequent visits than blended fruit, but he never let himself imagine being invited back to Scott’s penthouse. Or kissed with reckless abandon—and more. What goes on between them is hot, incredible and frequent…but also only on Scott’s terms and always behind his closed apartment doors.

Scott needs Kip in his life, but with playoff season approaching, the spotlight on him is suddenly brighter than ever. He can’t afford to do anything that might derail his career or the public’s image of what a hockey captain should be. Kip is ready to go all in with Scott—but how much longer will he have to remain a secret?

needed to be tightened up some. A little less time between the sheets and a little more spent on relationship building could've made a big difference. For me, this was an entertaining read for the most part, but there's really nothing to set it apart from any other book like it. It runs the standard formula of a closeted sports figure meeting Mr Out and Proud. There are no hiccups that we don't see coming, including the sweet and hopeful conclusion. All in all, it's a solid story and I'll be in

Kip and Scott are the best. I'm 2 books away from having read the entire series, and this is still probably my favorite one of the bunch. We wouldn't have such an awesome show and amazing book series without the original Game Changer Scott Hunter himself, who I love and am so proud of, and his amazing boyfriend/husband Kip who has the patience of a saint being Scott's secret for as long as he did, especially to his loving and supportive family. I don't know, this book is just awesome and I loved every minute of it.

This was such a feel good book and a wonderful continuation of Shane and Ilya's story. Sure there where some tense and upsetting moments for both protagonists, but overall they have a happy ending and that's just sweet. The pace was good, the sexy scenes were well written, the story in itself was well executed, heavy themes were spoken of 'superficially' for me, but still the fact that they were acknowledged was great. I really feel blessed that we have heated rivalry on screen, fingers crossed
