It's impossible to scroll through Instagram or TikTok without seeing someone discussing Heated Rivalry. It's the one show everyone's obsessing over, but did you know the show is based on a best-selling book?
Author Rachel Reid published the novel back in 2019, but it has since become a New York Times Bestseller, as well as a #1 streaming show.
But what is the book about?
Heated Rivalry is about professional hockey players, Canadian Shane Hollander and Russian Ilya Rozanov, who are on-ice rivals that develop a secret romance off the ice.
Heated Rivalry is the second novel in Reid's Game Changers series. The gay sports romance has become one of the most talked-about books in recent weeks, and the Kindle version is currently available for just €6.87.

Nothing interferes with pro hockey star Shane Hollander’s game.
Now that he’s captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, he won’t let anything jeopardize that—definitely not the sexy rival he loves to hate.
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. Publicly, they’re enemies. Privately, they can’t stop touching each other.
The smart thing to do? Walk away, once a few secret hookups turn into a struggle to keep their relationship out of the press. The truth could ruin them both. But for Shane and Ilya, secrecy is soon no longer an option…
Buy Heated Rivalry here.
Heated Rivalry will air on Sky and NOW on Friday, January 10th.
