Heated Rivalry

De: Rachel Reid

Narrado por: Tor Thom

Nothing interferes with Shane Hollander's game - definitely not the sexy rival he loves to hate.

Pro hockey star Shane Hollander isn't just crazy talented, he's got a spotless reputation. Hockey is his life. Now that he's captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, he won't let anything jeopardize that, especially the sexy Russian whose hard body keeps him awake at night.

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. They've made a career on their legendary rivalry, but when the skates come off, the heat between them is undeniable. When Ilya realizes he wants more than a few secret hookups, he knows he must walk away. The risk is too great.

As their attraction intensifies, they struggle to keep their relationship out of the public eye. If the truth comes out, it could ruin them both. But when their need for each other rivals their ambition on the ice, secrecy is no longer an option...

Great story. Great narration.

I had mixed feelings about the first book in this series. I picked up the second one because there was a sale. I am very glad that I did. i enjoyed the characters so much more in this book. The dynamic was more interesting to me.

Why enemies to lovers relationships seem more realistic to me than a pro hockey player meeting a love interest at a smoothie joint, I have no idea.

Narration also seemed more comfortable in this book too. I have already purchased the next book in this series, and I will be probably keep reading/listening as long as the characters are still engaging.

A new author for me!♡♡♡♡♡

I have had the pleasure of read and listening to lots if not hundreds of MM romance books. While this author is new to me I have found her work to be among some of the best writers of MM romances. I'm talking about the talented Lucy Lennox, Eden Finley and the lovely sisters Becca & Krista Ritchie. This book contains a bunch of hockey, which some sports romances don't. It is so well written, it gives the history of both Shane & Ilya and the progression of their relationship. I found myself finishing this book in one day, it was that good. I highly recommend both this author and this book series to others. Happy Reading book lovers!

Fun and romantic story with questionable narration.

I thought the story was great; a slow burn but without a bunch of “misunderstandings”. The narrator was definitely not my favorite. If he read without doing voices it would actually be better! It was hard for me to remember Shane and Ilya were young because Tor made Ilya sound like Dolph Lundgren. Shane’s dad sounded like the Other Father (Coraline) and his mom sounded like she was inebriated. It was super distracting. Very good story, love the HEA, narration was bad but not insurmountable.

Amazing!!

One of the best love stories of all times. The series is such an amazing take on the book. I love how steamy and romantic this book is♥️

If the “How It’s Made” guy decided to narrate a highly graphic gay hockey novel.

Seriously this is one of the worst narration jobs I’ve ever heard. This guy was terrible. His accents are not at all well researched and his female characters all sound like breathy women in their 50s regardless of what age they are. Skip the audiobook, read the book. The book is amazing. The characters are amazing. Miss me with this narrator.
