A Third Heated Rivalry Book Seemingly Coming Soon, Featuring A New Shane & Ilya Story Set After The Long Game Sequel

Another Heated Rivalry book focused on Shane and Ilya is seemingly in the works. There are six books in Rachel Reid’s Game Changers series that the hit HBO Max series is based on, but only two of the installments feature Shane and Ilya.

Now, Barnes & Noble has listed a new book centered on a Shane and Ilya story that acts as a sequel to The Long Game. Check out the synopsis below:

Everyone’s favorite hockey players are back! Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander continue the romance that began with viral sensation Heated Rivalry—now streaming on Crave in Canada and on HBO Max in the US—in the highly anticipated final book in New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Rachel Reid’s Game Changers series.

A line has been drawn—and the hockey world is divided.

For the first time in their professional hockey careers, Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander have nothing to hide. For more than a decade, they kept their love a secret, but now they’re out, married, and even playing on the same team. The support is incredible.

Most of the time.

They’ve gotten a lot of love from fans who are thrilled for them. But some people in the hockey world are still reeling from their relationship reveal, and the backlash—led by popular hockey podcast Top Shelf and the #TakeBackHockey movement—is getting louder.

Ilya and Shane are finally able to stand together in the light, the way they’d always wanted. And now they might be facing their biggest challenge yet.

More to come…
