If HBO’s Heated Rivalry stole your heart with its sizzling chemistry, emotional depth, and the irresistible tension between rivals Shane and Ilya, you’re in luck. Not only does author Rachel Reid’s Game Changers book series have five other titles for you to check out, but there’s also a whole lineup of hockey romances that serve the same addictive mix of ice and heat.
Time to Shine
First up, you don’t have to leave Reid’s world behind with Time to Shine. This standalone title offers a fresh take on teammates-to-lovers romance. The story follows two NHL players: Landon, a guarded back-up goalie called up to play for the Calgary Outlaws, and Casey, the team’s superstar left winger.
As confident Casey takes Landon under his wing, both on and off the ice, a tentative friendship begins to form, slowly giving way to attraction.
Like Heated Rivalry, this title balances steamy moments with heartfelt exploration of identity and connection, making the romance feel both sexy and deeply satisfying.
Stay
Elle Kennedy and Sarina Bowen are a powerhouse duo in sports romance, and they bring a light, fast-paced energy in Stay that delivers both fun and emotional depth. NHL superstar Matt Eriksson is struggling to navigate a failed relationship and fatherhood while in the public eye.
Hailey is still reeling from her divorce, but is focused on running her online virtual assistant service.
She starts to suspect that her favorite client is actually her celebrity sports crush. When online chemistry turns into real-world attraction, both must confront their emotional baggage. Is it worth the risk to try to love again?
Wake Up, Nat & Darcy
Wake Up, Nat & Darcy is a second-chance romance set against the exciting world of professional hockey and sports media.
After being cut from the U.S. women’s hockey team just before her third Olympics, Natalie Carpenter accepts a guest-hosting gig on Wake Up, USA to avoid going home defeated. However, her co-host, Darcy LaCroix, is also her former teammate, longtime rival, and ex-girlfriend.
As Nat and Darcy reunite on live TV, unresolved heartbreak and simmering chemistry resurface, sparking a flurry of emotions. Kate Cochran delivers a satisfying mix of tension and vulnerability in this rivals-to-romance tale.
Whether you’re drawn to the thrill of the game, the emotional highs and lows, or the irresistible romance, these titles will keep you turning pages long after the final buzzer.
