The Long Game by Rachel Reid: Review

I am not a big hockey fan but I am a big fan of hot romance and connections. So when I saw Rachel Reid had a sequel coming out in the Game Changers series, I was all over it.

The much anticipated story of Shane and Ilya, this book was just everything a romance should be! Sweet, uber-romantic, and super hot. Hard to choose a favorite character here! Read on for my full review.

OVERVIEW:
To the world they are rivals, but to each other they are everything.

Ten years.

That’s how long Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been seeing each other. How long they’ve been keeping their relationship a secret. From friends, from family…from the league. If Shane wants to stay at the top of his game, what he and Ilya share has to remain secret. He loves Ilya, but what if going public ruins everything?

Ilya is sick of secrets. Shane has gotten so good at hiding his feelings, sometimes Ilya questions if they even exist. The closeness, the intimacy, even the risk that would come with being open about their relationship…Ilya wants it all.

It’s time for them to decide what’s most important—hockey or love.

It’s time to make a call.

The Long Game by Rachel Reid Review

Team romance is a tough one to attack for an author I would think. The romance is based on secrets and hiding. The team has a certain balance and anything that takes that balance away is suspect and becomes an issue. Such is the issue for these two.

Reid treats us to a story full of passion and intensity. The angst they feel for not being true to friends and each other. The constant hiding and fear of discovery.

But within that, she delivers a fabulous story that pulls at your heartstrings and wraps you tightly in their world full of love and devotion. A story where you find yourself smiling and cheering them on, hoping for the best.

With two awesome characters to love, The Long Game is an intense love story that is truly an experience to remember.
