A new book centered around Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov appears to be coming soon. While Rachel Reid’s popular Game Changers series, which inspired the HBO Max show, has six books total, only two – Heated Rivalry and The Long Game – specifically feature Shane and Ilya’s story.
Barnes & Noble is now offering a new book continuing the story of Shane and Ilya, picking up after the events of The Long Game. This time, the book explores their relationship as an openly married couple and teammates. However, their happiness isn’t without its difficulties, as they encounter criticism from a well-known hockey podcast and a growing social media campaign called #TakeBackHockey. You can find a detailed summary of the book below.
Get ready for more hockey romance! Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander return in the exciting conclusion to Rachel Reid’s popular Game Changers series, which started with the viral hit Heated Rivalry. You can stream Heated Rivalry on Crave in Canada and HBO Max in the US, and now read the final book in the New York Times and USA Today bestselling series.
A line has been drawn—and the hockey world is divided.
Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander are openly sharing their relationship for the first time as professional hockey players. After keeping their love private for over ten years, they’ve gotten married and are now teammates, receiving wonderful support from those around them.
Most of the time.
It’s amazing to see how much support they’re receiving – so many fans are genuinely happy for them! But honestly, there’s a really negative reaction brewing within the hockey community. A big podcast called Top Shelf is leading the charge with this #TakeBackHockey hashtag, and the criticism is just getting more and more intense. It’s really disheartening to see.
Ilya and Shane are together at last, just as they dreamed. But now, a major new obstacle may be ahead of them.
The upcoming book, Game Changers, is still early in development – it doesn’t have a title, release date, or cover art yet. Barnes & Noble will offer a special edition with a unique cover, sprayed edges, and extra content not found in other copies of the book.
