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?

Reviews / Votes
"Rachel Reid's hockey heroes are sexy, hot, and passionate! I've devoured this entire series and I love the flirting, the exploration and the delicious discovery!" -#1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely"Rachel Reid puts biscuit in the basket." -Sarina Bowen, USA Today bestselling author of HIM
"It was sweet and hot, and the humor and banter gave it balance. I'm really looking forward to more from Rachel Reid." -USA TODAY on Game Changer
"This one is definitely a page-turner. It's sweet, fun, romantic, and sexy, and at its core, it is just an enjoyable story. I recommend it to both romance and sports fans alike." -Love Bytes
"Game Changer is a provocative, heartwarming story about love, pure and simple, with no labels, no limits, and no regrets. It's a wonderful debut for Reid that is without a doubt one of my favourite MM novels of the year, and I can't wait to read what she comes up with next." -What's Better Than Books
"I really got pulled into the feels of this one. Scott and Kip are such sweet characters." -Joyfully Jay
"Game Changer was a perfect mix. It was an adorably sweet romance, and a sizzlingly dirty/sexy testosterone filled romp at the same time. I loved the characters and gobbled up their attraction and chemistry." -Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
"I really enjoyed Game Changer. I liked the dual POV, and reading about how Scott and Kip dealt with a burgeoning relationship that was being kept firmly in the closet." -Gay Book Reviews
"Game Changer balances the light-hearted and the angsty, and is easy to get lost in as escapist fare. [...] If you like something sweet and easy and soft, it's more than passably enchanting, and a very nice way to spend some time." -All About Romance
