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.

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 ā€œwork 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.

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.

I hate you Rachel Reid you have officially taken over my life!!! I have laughed, cried and intensely kicked my feet reading this book. Actually all of the Game Changers books have opened my eyes to a lot of stuff that doesn't effect a straight white woman from N.I and shown me how to be an ally that isn't just performative, now I just need the gays 🤣🤣🤣

It was overall good and did exactly what it needed to do for me until the political and borderline activist seeped in... I was like, "Come on, really? Leave the politics and activism to the people who write in that actual genre!" That left kind of a bad taste in my mouth. But again, it's still an overall heart throbbing read.
