Book 2 of the Game Changers series and the source novel for the phenom Crave/HBOMax streaming series tells the story of arch rival hockey stars engaging in a series of clandestine sexual encounters lives up to the hype. The main characters are both immensely likeable, Canadian boy-next-door-type Shane Hollander and snarky, arrogant Russian Ilya Rozanov become entangled almost from the first moment of their non-meet-cute. The built-in animosity is emotional for Shane but more performative for bad-boy Ilya and isn’t much of an obstacle to overcome. Ilya is the more sexually experienced of the two as Shane almost blindly feels his way into new territory beyond his awkward, unfulfilling prior encounters with women. As the characters wrestle with their emotions and the relationship evolves, the author does not shy away from being descriptive, so warning to those squeamish over descriptions of homosexual activities.
