Heated rivalry Author Rachel Reid brings back Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov in her new book Unrivaled.
The story continues later The long game and follows the couple in their 30s, showing how they handle life, love and aging.
Although the story focuses on both of them, Reid says that Shane is really the hero of the trilogy.
“Even in The Long Game, it’s Shane. As much as the book focuses on Ilya, Shane is the one who has that arc,” he told Out. “Ultimately, Shane is our hero.”
Writing the characters in their 30s has been a new challenge for Reid, as he said hockey players at this age start to face limits and it was fun to explore how Shane deals with his body not functioning like it used to.
However, it also gave him a chance to show how Shane and Ilya think about the future and their life together.
Unrivaled is the seventh book in Reid’s Game Changers series. Shane and Ilya are now married, openly living their love and even playing on the same hockey team.
The book continues to explore love, growth, and identity while keeping Shane at the center, the hero fans have loved since the beginning.
