Heated Rivalry: 2 (Game Changers)

Product Information

Not just because they're such promising young players but their hatred for each other becomes legendary. She pushed me to make each sex scene more romantic, and each emotional moment sweeter and more impactful. Ahora leeré los demás de la serie para llegar al sexto que es la continuación de está maravillosa historia. No plans for print copies of any of the books right now but I do have a few promotional copies that I give away sometimes, usually on Instagram.

What follows next are more time jumps (sometimes one or two months, sometimes it’s the next year) and some “moments” thrown in there for laughs and giggles. It is rare that I finish a book with a severe and prolonged ache in my chest, wishing that I knew its characters in real life, wanting to commiserate and celebrate every facet of their lives together after the HFN epilogue. To all my friends who have constantly recommended this to me (some of you have even begged), believe me when I say I’m mad that I didn’t like this. I wasn’t expecting to give it another chance until I read Role Model and found myself not only loving Ilya, but smiling at every Shane-Ilya cameo. Light brown curls that were always a mess fell into his playful hazel eyes and over his dark, thick eyebrows.I don’t think there’s a better feeling than having someone tell you they love a character you created.

The NHL is one of the whitest sports, if not THE whitest, and this feels like a way to chicken out of discussing race in the series and try to make it sound like the league is more supportive than it actually is with BIPOC playing hockey in it at the top level.

Instead, he crushed their mouths together and kissed Shane in a raw, uncontrolled way that felt like an apology. If the author can give them 10 minutes to fuck, why can’t those 10 minutes be replaced with domesticity?Content notes include homomisia, emotional abuse, mentions of depression, mentions of a parent dying by suicide, and a parent has Alzheimer’s throughout this story and dies. Ultimately, this story does not work for me even though I love the characters and thought it contained a fair share of relationship angst and hockey that I actually DO like in a book. He sometimes becomes annoyed with his accent, is scared of coming out not only because he’s a hockey player but because of Russia’s LGBTQ+ rights, and feels alone. And the author mostly told their love story and their character growth through sex – I thought it was not a small feat to accomplish, especially to convince a reader like myself. Uumlber den AutorrnrnRachel Reid has always lived in Nova Scotia, Canada, and will likely continue to do so.

I constantly go back to the books I’ve read and change the ratings, which are usually rated more low. It started me thinking about these two all over again, so I grabbed the audio to get a different perspective of these two. I don’t know much about hockey, but after reading this I definitely have a new found love for the sport. But what I loved the most was how much those two were drawn to each other - from the very first time of meeting. Shane…” and he came in hot bursts, coating Shane’s hand and allowing Shane to use the slickness to bring himself off almost immediately, with the sound of his first name being spoken in a breathless Russian accent still ringing in his ears.Why enemies to lovers relationships seem more realistic to me than a pro hockey player meeting a love interest at a smoothie joint, I have no idea. There was a chemistry there from the start, but the rivalry and competitiveness kept these two from anything but angry sex for a long time. I have already purchased the next book in this series, and I will be probably keep reading/listening as long as the characters are still engaging. 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.

No love, no affection, just SLAM YOU AGAINST THE DOOR AND SHOVE MY TONGUE DOWN YOUR THROAT kind of sex. Though the book has lots of sex in it, it's still a romance-first story, even though that romance is slow burn and takes a long time to get there. It's a happy book, a wonderful roller-coaster of feelings, I cannot wait for the sequel 'The Long Game' to come out. There is nothing that makes me feel more detached from the romance than having explicit sex since chapter cero. Even the banter and how much I liked Ilya (and Shane too, I guess) didn’t save the story for me, so even the story itself was irrelevant because where even WAS the story?Sure this was part of the sex talk but in that moment it’s also crystal clear how long it had truly been since they started.
