Heated Rivalry

Game Changers Series, Book 2

De: Rachel Reid

Narrado por: Tor Thom

Nothing interferes with Shane Hollander's game - definitely not the sexy rival he loves to hate.

Pro hockey star Shane Hollander isn't just crazy talented, he's got a spotless reputation. Hockey is his life. 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.

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. They've made a career on their legendary rivalry, but when the skates come off, the heat between them is undeniable. When Ilya realizes he wants more than a few secret hookups, he knows he must walk away. The risk is too great.

As their attraction intensifies, they struggle to keep their relationship out of the public eye. If the truth comes out, it could ruin them both. But when their need for each other rivals their ambition on the ice, secrecy is no longer an option...

Can’t get enough

This book is hands down my favorite book ever. If you are thinking about reading/listening to it please do it

lo ame

la escritiura ligeta y agil, contando la historia de amor de estos dos hombres como empezo y fue creciendo con los años, ame esta historia y super-hot.

Loved!

Shane and Ilya were everything I didn't know I needed. These two men fought their attraction and emotions so hard only to fall into a semi-long-term relationship. The feelings they provoked and the wanting that was shown made you fall in love with these two men. I can see why they deserved a second story.

Shayne and Ilia forever!

I love this couple so much. Read through the whole series in order to get to their second novel. It was so, so good I have to come back and read this one all over again. Ilia, in particular, is one of my favorite characters ever. I love how Reid take on NHL and addressing real issues plaguing the league. The story is perfectly paced, characters compelling, and the story so sweet. It makes my heart sing. Oh! And the naughty bits were awesome!

So much love for these guys!

Wow this 2nd book was so much better than the first. It blew me away. Ilya and Shane have such a unique relationship. They hate each other on the ice but over the years they have fallen in love. I enjoyed the years we get to see and I can’t wait to start their sequel in book 6.

Entertaining and enjoyable read

I enjoyed this one! I liked Shane and Ilya. They meet during a juniors championship tournament and the rivalry was pretty much there from the very beginning as they are on opposite teams and sides and their talent has had them being compared. Ilya is very cocky and the competitiveness is very high between them and keeps that rivalry going. They continue to meet as they are both top draft picks shortly after that and again, continually compared to each other. They continue to circle around each other and they have a few moments that end up with them exploring things with each other when they are in town and in secret for years. I enjoyed the way that things built between them and the fun competitiveness that things turn into. It definitely takes some time and both think about stopping it for years and then it turns into more. I enjoyed the way that it built and developed and getting to see it throughout the years and the foundation that things end up built on. I enjoyed this one a lot and the banter between them. It has a little bit of enemies to lovers but more rivals and competitive.
The narrator did a good job with both characters and the Russian accent and really brought them to life.

Eh... OK. Kinda slow.

Nothing too exciting happens but the story is cute. Worth a listen because it's free.

Um, yeah. I liked it....

The text I sent my book bestie upon finishing this book:

my mind is 100% in denial that Heated Rivalry has ended. i'm so in love the characters and their story. i felt like i was just following along with their life stories, so even though i finished it last night i keep thinking "oh i should catch up with ilya and shane" LIKE THEY'RE REAL PEOPLE. 😞 and the worst part isn't that my subconscious has been tricked into thinking that i have these awesome new friends who also happen to let me watch them have sex on occasion- it's the UTTER sadness I feel when I remember that they AREN'T REAL. AND that THEIR BOOK HAS ENDED. 😭😭😭😭 What do I read now?? I need something on par and that's going to be hard to find... That book was TOO GOOD! 😭😭😭

Great love story

This is such a great love story. Ilya and Shane will forever be one of my favorite couples. Two hot hockey players keeping a secret from the world for years. Is it just sex? They’d like to think so. It was so worth the wait for them to say I love you. Hockey and romance combined make this better than a hat trick!

I really loved this book

I really enjoyed this book initially I did not like the narrator but he grew on me and I see that the sequel is out and people are complaining about the new narrator whom I've never had problems with so now I'm not sure if I'm going to read the 2nd book but I probably will Anyway this was such a wonderful story so different I really liked it definitely worth a credit
