What To Know

  • Gay hockey romance show Heated Rivalry has surged in popularity since its November 28 premiere.
  • The show is based on Rachel Reid’s book of the same name.
  • The show’s popularity has caused the book to sell out at major retailers like Amazon.

Never underestimate the power of Hollanov. Though author Rachel Reid has built up a dedicated following since Heated Rivalry came out a few years ago, her fanbase has exploded ever since the hockey romance was adapted for the screen. Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov’s (Connor Storrie) rivals-to-lovers story has drawn in so many viewers that the show hasn’t left HBO Max’s Top 10 since it started airing. So, where can you buy Heated Rivalry?

Naturally, the show has inspired quite a few people to want to read the source material. In fact, “quite a few” might be an understatement. The show has caused such a buzz that physical copies of Heated Rivalry sold out on Amazon and Barnes and Noble shortly after its premiere. We don’t blame you if you’re desperate for more Hollanov content in between episodes — so where can you get your hands on the book version of Heated Rivalry? Swooon has you covered.

Where can you buy the Heated Rivalry book?

We’ll give you the good news first. At the time of writing, Heated Rivalry is back in stock on Amazon. Hooray! The bad news is that it looks like delivery will take a few weeks, likely because demand is so high. You could go ahead and order the e-book version if you can’t wait any longer to find out how Shane and Ilya’s journey unfolds. It’ll be delivered to your device instantly, and you can read to your heart’s content.

If you were hoping to snag a physical copy from Barnes and Noble, Heated Rivalry is indeed still sold out at that retailer. It’s also on backorder at Bookshop and ThriftBooks. The paperback is, however, available at Books-A-Million if you’d like an Amazon alternative.

In case the book sells out again on Amazon, you can also check out your local independent bookstores. We recommend heading over there sooner rather than later if you want to finish the physical book before Heated Rivalry‘s finale drops on December 26. Happy reading!
