The anticipation is building as fans gear up for the return of the popular series, Heated Rivalry. Rachel Reid, author of the Game Changer book series that inspired the show, has exciting news for readers. A new installment of the queer hockey romance entitled Unrivaled is set to hit bookstores on Sep. 29, 2026, marking the seventh book in the series.
The latest addition to the Game Changer series is currently available for pre-order exclusively at Barnes & Noble. The synopsis promises an engaging storyline that will undoubtedly captivate fans. “A line has been drawn in the hockey world. For the first time, Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander are open about their love, their marriage, and playing on the same team. While they have received overwhelming support from fans, not everyone in the hockey community is as accepting,” the overview reads.
Reid’s Game Changer book series, which was already a beloved romance series, gained even more popularity when it was adapted into an HBO television series by creator Jacob Tierney. Starring Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie as Ilya and Shane, the show has garnered critical acclaim, with the first season receiving high praise from viewers and critics alike.
