Game Changers 7: Unrivaled - Reid Rachel

Unrivaled by Rachel Reid is the highly anticipated final installment of the bestselling Game Changers series, bringing readers back to fan-favorite couple Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov.

After more than a decade of secrecy, rivalry, and hidden love, Shane and Ilya are finally living openly. Now married and even playing on the same professional hockey team, they are no longer forced to hide who they are or what they mean to each other.

Public support is overwhelming — but not universal.

While many fans celebrate their relationship, parts of the hockey world push back. Media criticism, online backlash, and the rising #TakeBackHockey movement challenge both players professionally and personally. Standing together in the spotlight proves to be their toughest test yet, as they learn that love in public can be far more complicated than love in secret.

Main Themes of the Book

• LGBTQ+ visibility in professional sports
• Public vs private identity
• Marriage and long-term relationships
