THE SERIES THAT INSPIRED HEATED RIVALRY • NOW A #1 STREAMING SHOW

Enter the world of Game Changers, the series behind the epic enemies-to-lovers hockey romance Heated Rivalry, streaming on Crave in Canada and on HBO Max in the U.S.

A grumpy hockey player meets his match in a sunny, out-and-proud social media manager, by New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Rachel Reid.

The hits just keep coming for Troy Barrett. Traded to the worst team in the league would be bad enough, but coming on the heels of a messy breakup and a recent scandal… Troy just wants to play hockey and be left alone. He definitely doesn’t want to “work on his online presence" with the team’s peppy social media manager.

Harris Drover can tell standoffish Troy isn’t happy about the trade, but Harris doesn’t give up on people easily. Even when he’s developing a crush he’s sure is one-sided. And when he sees Troy’s smile finally crack through his grumpy exterior… That’s a man Harris couldn’t turn his back on if he wanted to.

Suddenly, Troy’s move to the new team feels like an opportunity—for Troy to embrace his true self, and for both men to explore their growing attraction. But being together behind closed doors is one thing, and for Troy, being in a public relationship with Harris will mean facing off with his fears, once and for all.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS BOOK!

I smiled so much while reading this book. Easily one of the best in the series.

Loved it

I’m a fan of this series and the author. Love the story and characters of Role Model and the love scenes were spot on. Loads of delicious tantalizing detail and dialogue to go with it, including the 4play and aftermath.

Very Entertaining!

The narration was fabulous and really brought the characters to life. Troy and Harris' story was a sweet friends to lovers with no third act break up which I enjoyed immensely.

Fantastic narration of a great story.

Let me start with the narration. Fantastic job by Cooper. He easily flips between French Canadian, Russian and American accents. He reads the whole book as it’s 3rd person POV and manages to show us just how different Troy and Harris are.


This is a book that tackles some big subjects. Coming out and being a gay sportsman in a predominantly heterosexual profession. The issue of bigotry and minimizing of sexual assault against women by celebrities. It was all tackled with care and sensitivity and an authenticity that I really respected. Troy is made to feel like speaking out on behalf of others was a bad thing by the higher ups but is transferred to a team who are just good people and he sees that being himself won’t be an issue with these guys. Harris is patient with Troy and I love how he lets Troy set the pace for coming out. The heat is delicious too, it definitely didn’t disappoint on that front.


A great MM sports romance. Good writing, fantastic narration and a story that kept me engaged from start to finish. 

Excellent book

This book was very entertaining. The story was engrossing along with great writing. The narration was wonderful. I would definitely listen to Cooper North again. I would recommend this book.
