Description

THE SERIES THAT INSPIRED HEATED RIVALRY • NOW A 1 STREAMING SHOW Enter the world of Game Changers, the series behind the epic enemies-to-lovers hockey romance Heated Rivalry, streaming on Crave in Canada and on HBO Max in the U.S. It all starts here with Scott and Kip’s steamy secret-relationship romance by New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Rachel Reid. New York Admirals captain Scott Hunter takes his pregame rituals very seriously. When a particular smoothie precedes Scott's breaking his on-ice slump, he’s desperate to recreate the magic…and to get to know the sexy, funny guy behind the counter. Kip Grady knew there was more to Scott’s frequent visits than blended fruit, but he never let himself imagine being invited back to Scott’s penthouse. Or kissed with reckless abandon—and more. What goes on between them is hot, incredible and frequent…but also only on Scott’s terms and always behind his closed apartment doors. Scott needs Kip in his life, but with playoff season approaching, the spotlight on him is suddenly brighter than ever. He can’t afford to do anything that might derail his career or the public’s image of what a hockey captain should be. Kip is ready to go all in with Scott—but how much longer will he have to remain a secret?

  • A swoony, spicy, straightforward gay romance
Format: Paperback
4.5/5 stars Game Changer is the first book in Rachel Reid’s spicy MM hockey romance series. NHL captain Scott Hunter believes in pre-game rituals. So when a smoothie breaks his scoring slump, he keeps going back for more and it has nothing to do with the cute juice bar barista. Kip Grady is just hustling to pay off his student debt and in preparation for grad school and allows himself to be swept off his feet by Scott. But when the fun turns serious fast, Scott wants more of Kip but cannot come out so Kip must decide if being a secret is enough. This is the one that started it all—the one that made Heated Rivalry possible in the trailblazer or “game changer” that is Scott Hunter. I did love it. It feels like a classic romantic comedy. It’s the quintessential closeted athlete falling in love and having to balance career and truth. It’s a lot of fun and has a lot of charm and not as angsty as you would expect. I loved Scott Hunter. He is just so likable and relatable, and I completely understood what he was going through. I understood Kip too, but boy would I have given in. I don’t know if I just have no self respect whatsoever, but I’d have been willing to be a millionaire’s dirty secret. The standout of the book that really elevates (and carries) the story is its swoon-worthy ending—utterly romantic and certainly what romcom dreams are made of. Game Changer is a swoony, spicy, straightforward gay romance. ... show more

  • Pure gay romance erotic fantasy–and pure fun
Format: Paperback
It features two unbelievably hot gay leading men. It features lots of flirting. And lots–I mean LOTS LOTS LOTS–of torrid gay sex. This novel (essentially episode 3, as well as brief parts of episodes 5 and 6, of HBO’s wildly popular Heated Rivalry series) tells the story of an unlikely romance between Kip, a hard-working server at a smoothie shop, and Scott Hunter, the dashing and wildly popular star of the New York Admirals, a fictional NHL team. They meet, they fall in love, complications ensue (Scott is a professional athlete and therefore closeted), but–and here’s perhaps the most fantastical part of the story–they resolve their issues and face obstacles together by talking about their feelings and being honest with each other. Whoa! My only criticism concerns the overwhelming number of sex scenes. After the first few, it began to seem like overkill. Constant detailed descriptions of what Kip and Scott do to each other in various stages of undress didn’t really propel the story forward very much. This is likely a case of “less is more.” I will certainly read the remaining six books in this series, but not right away. I gotta give my pulse a chance to slow down a bit before I dive into the next one. ... show more

  • It's a good book!!
Format: Paperback
DISCLAIMER: this is coming from someone who came from the show. I hope this review is organized well enough for anyone who comes across it! Relationship/story: I'm not a super big fan of love at first sight, and I feel like this leans towards that. They fall fast and for me, personally, at times it made it harder to care about their relationship. The pacing is a little better than the show in some aspects, in others I still kind of roll my eyes. I think it's a me issue, since this is one book. There's not much time to tell the story, some things will be rushed. Kip and Scott as separate characters were great. I wish they got some more time, and I'm glad I read the book, as it does add a lot to the characters! It's so nice to get to see what was going on through their heads. Kip especially, as he's the main character. Writing: Rachel Reid is a very good author. The book is super easy to read and it's fun. There were a few parts where dialogue felt unnatural, but over all, the way she writes flows so nicely. If choppy dialogue or writing bothers you, trust me, you're good here. Also I think she's pretty funny! One thing I didn't like was that, about halfway through, there's a very obvious change in pace when the main conflict sets in. It wasn't horrible, just noticeable. Spice: I don't know what it is, but I don't really enjoy the way the intimate scenes were done. That being said, I'm asexual and I know that many people watching the show enjoyed it in a very different way than I did. So I think this is entirely preference. Still, some of it felt awkward. I've read spicy scenes before in other things, I don't know what it was about this book that made me uncomfortable. I just skipped them. In the beginning, she more or less contains the scenes to a chapter of their own, which makes it easy. I'd skim through for dialogue or any important things to make sure I didn't miss anything, and I don't think I did. If you plan to skip the spicier scenes though, keep in mind that about halfway through they stop being contained to their own chapters and they do start containing some plot important pieces, so I wouldn't skip too much. I feel like I complained more than I meant to here- I think the book is funny and really almost all of the things that disappointed me was that we don't get more of Scott and kip. I know they'll probably show up in the future books, but I wish they had more time to fall in love and more space for their story. But again, you've got to fit it all into a book and not everyone would opt into reading a 72 chapter book about a closeted hockey player. I get it. I'm super excited for the next book if you read this please go ahead and get the book, it's so worth it. ... show more
