Resumen del Editor

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

Shane and Ilya’s story, first seen in Heated Rivalry, continues in this long-awaited hockey romance from Rachel Reid.

"Everything you could want from this magnetic couple! A passionate, sexy, emotional sequel that grips your heart! Shane and Ilya forever!" —#1 NYT Bestseller Lauren Blakely, author of Hopelessly Bromantic

To the world they are rivals, but to each other they are everything.

Ten years.

That’s how long Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been seeing each other. How long they’ve been keeping their relationship a secret. From friends, from family…from the league. If Shane wants to stay at the top of his game, what he and Ilya share has to remain secret. He loves Ilya, but what if going public ruins everything?

Ilya is sick of secrets. Shane has gotten so good at hiding his feelings, sometimes Ilya questions if they even exist. The closeness, the intimacy, even the risk that would come with being open about their relationship…Ilya wants it all.

It’s time for them to decide what’s most important—hockey or love.

It’s time to make a call.

The Long Game

I am so glad I didn’t listen to some of the earlier reviews. This was my favorite book in the series.

Great Story

I’ve read many MM romances, this whole series, especially Shane & Ilya are my favorite. Would love just one more to see if they win the cup!!

Good stroyline

Very enjoyable! Love concurs, even when sacrifices made it difficult, excellent storyline! Recommend the book to all that are hopeless romantics deep down in our hearts!

Don't get the hate

I've now heard all the books and though I loved Tor's voice for Ilya Cooper North is still a great narrator. This story has very different vibes and that's probably because it's been 2 or so years since we've seen the world from their point of view. Alot can change in that much time. To see that people think Ilya was emasculated because there was so much focus on his mental health just shows you people suck. I felt the emotions this story tried to invoke and appreciate where Ilya and Shane are now. Happy in their new lives and no longer having to hide.

Illya and Shane

I loved this story so much! I felt like it was a pretty realistic view into what their lives would be like. The only thing that I wish would have been a bit different is the descriptions of Illya's mental health. I felt like the author just gave vauge descriptions and didn't necessarily dig in like she could have. I also wish that there would have been a bit more drama (I love some drama) around big events but I think it was overall a great book. I LOVED the narrator so much more than the previous one.

The. Absolute. Best.

I loved the story of Heated Rivalry but found Tor Thom’s narration jarring and not at all suited to the characters’ ages and backgrounds. Enter Cooper North, who SLAYS the narration of book two here, hitting all the right notes with Ilya’s turmoil. This one is a repeat listen for me, even though I still want to shake some sense into Shane every time! The steam is here (Rachel Reid never lets you down in that regard!) but it’s the depth, the complexity, the freaking heartbreak of loving someone in secret — so hard and for so long — that does me in. On each listen, when Ilya tells his therapist that he’s loved Shane in the shadows for 10 long years, it breaks me. One of the best, most touching MM romances out there.

love a happy ending ❤️

omg this couple is gonna live rent free in my head for years to come. I love them so much. Shane was pissing me off for a bit but he turned around and made up for it. Overall had a great story, and amazing spicy scenes. It had a nice balance between the story line and the spice. I'm not a fan of all spice (there is fanfiction for that). I like my spice with a story line and this delivers. Also liked how it wrapped everything up to satisfaction. Think I'm gonna go buy the physical copies of these.

Couple goals!

Cooper north did a fan-fing-tastic job with Illyas Russian accent and differentiating between the many voices and races.

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🔥

I can’t get over how much I am obsessed with Ilya and Shane! They are true couple goals. I love how Shane is so uptight but he can’t resist when Illya is an idiot and makes him loosen his tight hold on things and they end up laughing.

Plus illya is super funny. I love his dry sense of humor and how he is confident in his ability to distract people in order to gain the upper hand in any situation.

There are some dark parts of about
Mental health and the generational trama that each race carries around that I respect and relate to deeply.

10/10 love this book and illya and Shane will hold a special place in my heart.

Great Series

At first the Narrator change was jarring, but power through! I like to think that Ilya just got better at speaking English as he spent more time with Shane. That's really the only one I noticed. I'm going to miss those two, hope there is a third book! Maybe they can adopt?

Ilya and Shane FOREVER!

Took me months to finish because I didn’t want their story to end. Love all the guys in this epic series.
