A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Now streaming on Crave in Canada and on HBO Max in the U.S.
The epic enemies-to-lovers hockey romance from Rachel Reid.
"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…

5By pkimaniiThe tension between both characters was written so perfectly! You could picture easily the scenes and feel both characters raw emotions. Their vulnerability was shown in such beautiful way, and it’s cute to watch each open up to the other.Wow

4By talon dusk 247i loved this book and how it really expresses just how both parties feel. the way they express emotions is so cliche but also important to the real world, and while it can be corny or weird or awkward, this author managed to describe it perfectly.Obsessed and LOVE!!

5By Songkeeper223I really think that’s all you need to know.Exactly as advertised!
5By CuddleMeACatAfter getting repeatedly traumatized from gay tragedies, this book was exactly the breath of fresh air I needed. I loved the pacing, characters, and story/plot so much. This will be promptly added to my comfort re-read book pile. 10/10 I will be reading again. (And bonus joy cause there’s apparently an excellent tv show based on this book that I can begin watching! Heated Rivalry on HBO MAX)Wow
5By cheeringuyI haven’t read a book in years. And when I heard about this story that streak was snapped. What an amazing read. I was drawn into every page, every stressor and every exciting moment. Now on to the next. 📚❤️🏳️🌈Love it

5By Caeleb14Better than originally expected honestly and cant wait to read the long gameAmazing, warm, and sexy!
5By James_HuynhI started reading this book because of the newly release TV series. I wanted to see for myself the little details that couldn’t make it into the show. I’ve always been a fan of these types of books since I was a teenager and this one didn’t disappoint. I would say this was one of the best books I have read this year. Rachel did such an amazing job showing who each of these players are and really making you fall in love with them. I am so excited for the rest of the show to come out just so I can experience the book again.
