Description

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A #1 STREAMING SHOW 

The epic enemies-to-lovers hockey romance from Rachel Reid, streaming on Crave in Canada and on HBO Max in the U.S.

"The book that got me into hockey romance." —NPR's Weekend Edition

Nothing interferes with pro hockey star Shane Hollander’s game.

Now that he’s captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, he won’t let anything jeopardize that—definitely not the sexy rival he loves to hate.

Boston Bears captain Ilya Rozanov is everything Shane’s not. The self-proclaimed king of the ice, he’s as cocky as he is talented. No one can beat him—except Shane. Publicly, they’re enemies. Privately, they can’t stop touching each other. 

The smart thing to do? Walk away, once a few secret hookups turn into a struggle to keep their relationship out of the press. The truth could ruin them both. But for Shane and Ilya, secrecy is soon no longer an option…

    This book ended my years long reading dry spell. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so enveloped by a love story like this. I love that I can truly feel their thoughts and emotions, what you can’t see from the (amazing) show. Truly a masterpiece. The perfectly written smut was also a nice bonus.

    I started watching the show which led me to the books and I have not been disappointed. It’s actually interesting to put context to the scenes now. So well written. Just so good. So good. I didn’t learn much about hockey but that doesn’t matter. Loved it!

    The television series follows the book pretty reliably, but the book gives more texture to the story.

    Such a great read!! Rachel Reid did an amazing job with this story and the development of all the characters. Shane and Ilya will go down as one of the best LGBTQ characters ever created because of their growth, tension, and care for each other. 10/10
