About this ebook

"Rachel Reid's hockey heroes are sexy, hot, and passionate!" —#1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of the Game Changers series comes a merry and bright hockey romance about finding your place, finding your people and finding your way back to the one you love the most.

For Landon Stackhouse, being called up from the Calgary farm team is exciting and terrifying, even if, as the backup goalie, he rarely leaves the bench. A quiet loner by nature, Landon knows he gives off strong “don’t talk to me” vibes. The only player who doesn’t seem to notice is Calgary’s superstar young winger, Casey Hicks.

Casey treats Landon like an old friend, even though they’ve only interacted briefly in the past. He’s endlessly charming and completely laid-back in a way that Landon absolutely can’t relate to. They couldn’t have less in common, but Landon needs a place to live that’s not a hotel room and Casey has just bought a massive house—and hates being alone.

As roommates, Casey refuses to be defeated by Landon’s one-word answers. As friends, Landon comes to notice a few things about Casey, like his wide, easy smile and sparkling green-blue eyes. Spending the holidays together only intensifies their bromance-turned-romance. But as the new year approaches, the countdown to the end of Landon’s time in Calgary is on.

Ratings and reviews

Holy wow. TIME TO SHINE by Rachel Reid is the bubbly, sparkling delight of a hockey romance we all need. Landon Stackhouse gets called up to be the backup goalie for the Calgary Outlaws. While the team as a whole is welcoming, his new teammate, superstar Casey Hicks, offers him a room in his big house, and the outgoing Casey cajoles him into a friendship that surprises them both with how well they mesh. Rachel Reid’s writing is moving and lovely, describing Landon and Casey’s unfolding fr

Rachel Reid's latest book, Time to Shine is so sweet. A total opposites attract, first time romance, I literally smiled the whole way through. As always, Rachel Reid does a great job setting the scene of what life is like for these hockey players, and there are some exciting hockey scenes too. I also really enjoyed all the family interactions. Both Landon and Casey have interesting backstories, and seeing everyone come together is marvelous.

Rachel Reid is a relatively new author to me and this MM story ticked numerous boxes for me. This is Landon Stackhouse and Casey Hicks’s story and was an entertaining, at times emotional story. Could the magic of the holiday season bring a miracle for both Landon and Casey? One click and find out. I received a copy from the publisher through Netgalley.
