Shane and Ilya’s story continues in this blockbuster hockey romance from Rachel Reid.

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.

Ratings and reviews

This was such a feel good book and a wonderful continuation of Shane and Ilya's story. Sure there where some tense and upsetting moments for both protagonists, but overall they have a happy ending and that's just sweet. The pace was good, the sexy scenes were well written, the story in itself was well executed, heavy themes were spoken of 'superficially' for me, but still the fact that they were acknowledged was great. I really feel blessed that we have heated rivalry on screen, fingers crossed that this book will be picked up as well.

Just wow. The Long Game by Rachel Reid is the sixth and last in her Game Changers m/m hockey series. That said, it stands alone beautifully. I read it without having read the rest of the series (they’re on my TBR, I promise!) and loved it completely. Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been rivals since they met more than a decade ago, and that led the way to a heated attraction and then to a secret relationship. Rachel Reid’s writing is terrific—I loved her characters and their friendships and connections. Ilya and Shane feel very well-drawn, and they have a lot going on, much as people tend to. I feel they and the other characters have been written with warmth and affection, and that made me enjoy the read all the more. The Long Game has been a long time coming for these two—they have spent years hiding their real selves from the world, and struggle to determine how to navigate revealing themselves. They find hard truths about those closest to them and are reminded what is truly important. I absolutely loved The Long Game and plan to reread it soon, perhaps after catching up with the prior books in the series!

such a lovely read so invested in the lovely characters so wanted them to be together and thrive. I hope you write the last chapter of their lives winning 20 Stanley cups having double sets of twins.🥰😂 and 4 dogs What an amazing love story
