Thank you.Heated Rivalry Game Changers 2 by Rachel Reid ~ Heated Rivalry which can be read as a standalone is very different from the first book in the series Its edgier and has bitter undertones while the first book was all sweetness This is a true enemiestolovers story in that the two MCs are huge rivals on the ice while fucking each others brains out off the ice I received a free copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Time to schedule my next reread but first I’ve got my eye on book 3. Maybe the best part is how fun it is to read about them playfully interacting with each other. I mean, I knew what would happen because I was rereading it but I still felt the “oh god what will happen” and “are they going to” tension. The worst – so the best – part is the fucking tension. Maybe more than once, because those two are blind idiots. Instead I had to fight the urge to take their heads and knock them together a little bit. And that even though I’m not a fan of stories jumping between the past and the present, but it somehow works with Shane and Ilya’s story.Īlthough to be honest… I didn’t really had a chance, did I? Grumpy, Russian Ice Hockey player with an unhappy childhood… Seems like I’ve got a thing for these characters.Įnemies to lovers is so often done rather quickly and I’m left wondering where the actual being-enemies-part went. So obviously enjoy Heated Rivalry a great deal. But when their need for each other rivals their ambition on the ice, secrecy is no longer an option… The Queer’s Review If the truth comes out, it could ruin them both. The risk is too great.Īs their attraction intensifies, they struggle to keep their relationship out of the public eye.

When Ilya realizes he wants more than a few secret hookups, he knows he must walk away. They’ve made a career on their legendary rivalry, but when the skates come off, the heat between them is undeniable. The self-proclaimed king of the ice, he’s as cocky as he is talented.

Now that he’s captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, he won’t let anything jeopardize that, especially the sexy Russian whose hard body keeps him awake at night.īoston Bears captain Ilya Rozanov is everything Shane’s not. Pro hockey star Shane Hollander isn’t just crazy talented, he’s got a spotless reputation. Nothing interferes with Shane Hollander’s game-definitely not the sexy rival he loves to hate.
