Our view

“Game Changer” is an easy, very explicit hockey romance between a star captain and the man who makes his smoothies. It goes by quickly and does not stint on heat. Some readers feel the sex crowds out the more interesting story, that of a man finally letting go of a lifelong secret, and find the dialogue unconvincing. A light, steamy start to a long series.

About the book

THE SERIES THAT INSPIRED HEATED RIVALRY • It all starts here with Scott and Kip’s steamy secret-relationship romance by New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Rachel Reid. New York Admirals captain Scott Hunter takes his pregame rituals very seriously. When a particular smoothie precedes Scott's breaking his on-ice slump, he’s desperate to recreate the magic…and to get to know the sexy, funny guy behind the counter. Kip Grady knew there was more to Scott’s frequent visits than blended fruit, but he never let himself imagine being invited back to Scott’s penthouse. Or kissed with reckless abandon—and more. What goes on between them is hot, incredible and frequent…but also only on Scott’s terms and always behind his closed apartment doors. Scott needs Kip in his life, but with playoff season approaching, the spotlight on him is suddenly brighter than ever. He can’t afford to do anything that might derail his career or the public’s image of what a hockey captain should be. Kip is ready to go all in with Scott—but how much longer will he have to remain a secret?
