Great Story

I’ve read many MM romances, this whole series, especially Shane & Ilya are my favorite. Would love just one more to see if they win the cup!!

Good stroyline

Very enjoyable! Love concurs, even when sacrifices made it difficult, excellent storyline! Recommend the book to all that are hopeless romantics deep down in our hearts!

Don't get the hate

I've now heard all the books and though I loved Tor's voice for Ilya Cooper North is still a great narrator. This story has very different vibes and that's probably because it's been 2 or so years since we've seen the world from their point of view. Alot can change in that much time. To see that people think Ilya was emasculated because there was so much focus on his mental health just shows you people suck. I felt the emotions this story tried to invoke and appreciate where Ilya and Shane are now. Happy in their new lives and no longer having to hide.

Illya and Shane

I loved this story so much! I felt like it was a pretty realistic view into what their lives would be like. The only thing that I wish would have been a bit different is the descriptions of Illya's mental health. I felt like the author just gave vauge descriptions and didn't necessarily dig in like she could have. I also wish that there would have been a bit more drama (I love some drama) around big events but I think it was overall a great book. I LOVED the narrator so much more than the previous one.

Ilya is my new favorite book boyfriend

I really enjoyed Shane and Ilya’s story. Until the end, Shane was a bit caught up in being a hockey star; while Ilya was the best boyfriend, giving up so much for Shane. I feel in love with Ilya’s sense of humor and his ability to be true to what was right and the one he loved. I would love to be friends with a real version of Ilya. Enjoyed every minute of this book.

The Long Game

I am so glad I didn’t listen to some of the earlier reviews. This was my favorite book in the series.

I love Ilya and Shane

I’m not going to lie. When I saw that Tor Thom wasn’t the narrator for this, I was a little disappointed. I have listened to Heated Rivalry so much that for me he was Shane and Ilya. However, once I started listening, I loved Cooper’s interpretations of both men. He did a great job. I could really feel the emotions that Shane and Ilya were feeling through Cooper’s voice. His voice for Shane after the fight at Christmas really made me hear how angry Shane was at himself and how he had made Ilya feel. His broken hearted Ilya voice during the same fight was so hard to hear. He really made me feel the panic that was going through Ilya during the plane ride scene and the pure love in Ilya’s and Shane’s voices as they comforted each other after the plane ride. This was a great book made even greater by a narrator who made me feel both the good and bad emotions that Shane and Ilya felt. I highly recommend this audible and Cooper North!

perfect perfect perfect

this was everything and more. and i can absolutely confirm that listening to the trophy room scene hits JUST AS HARD (if not harder) than reading the words it. thx.

I want more. ❤️❤️

Absolutely loved this whole series and this installment to Heated Rivalry was fantastic.
Excellent narration by Cooper North
I listened to the whole series in order so the fact that Tor Thom narrated Heated Rivalry didn’t have an impact on me with the change in narrators that seemed to bother other listeners.

Absolutely loved the integration in this story with Troy and Harris from Tough Guy. I loved their story, so was really happy to have the Ilya side by side input.
Fabulous story. Cried so many times. Loved the emotion these characters displayed for each other. Definitely need a third book to hear what happens in their future together. ❤️

ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE BOOKS

SPEECHLESS. COOPER, WELL DONE. I CAN´T BEGIN TO EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVED THE AUDIOBOOK. LISTENING TO IT WAS A WHOLE DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE.
