Role Model

I LOVE this series!!

MM hockey romances have quickly become some of my favourite books to read. I end up re-reading them over ad over again they're so good! And this series is definitely ones of the best ones I've come to read. So when I found out that there's a new book coming out?? I screamed on the bus, no big deal.

I loved this story! It's the ultimate bully turns good and finds love kind of romance and I'm here for all of it. It reminded me of K. Webster books (I love her books so much) and the fact that Troy was able to understand how he was wrong and fixes his attitude throughout the story was an amazing thing to read. And Harris is just the biggest ray of sunshine on a grumpy Troy which makes this whole thing way more fun.

Everyone has got to read this series!! I think the next book is Ilya and Shane's book again and I am beyond ecstatic for it!!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Carina Press for the earc in return for an honest review,

I absolutely adored this book. I have loved each book in this series, and Reid has done it again.

Troy Barrett is going through it. After publicly confronting his former friend, being dumped, and then being traded to the worst team in the NHL, he’s having a rough time. Enter Harris Drover: social media manager for the Ottawa Centaurs and pure ray of sunshine. Harris is a people-person and tries to help Troy boost his image online. Working closely, though, the two start to develop feelings for each other. Will Troy be brave enough to come out and live his life how he wants to?

I truly loved this book. The ensemble cast was outstanding and it made me so happy that we have appearances from every single main character from Reid’s earlier books, some more than others. Ilya stole the show and I loved the snippets with him. Also, Chiron. I love that there was a team dog.

I honestly loved every part of this book and I absolutely could not put it down. It does deal with some heavy subjects, with some aspects dealing with sexual assault (not on page), the book still manages to be sweet and funny. So funny that I actually found myself laughing out loud at moments.

Highly recommend.

Bottom line: A beautiful, gripping story of redemption and self-discovery.

The stand-alone fifth novel in Rachel Reid’s Game Changers series is a real treat. With themes of hurt/comfort and coming out, "Role Model" is a stunning read that is filled with emotional discoveries, bravery, and an opposites-attract couple who fit so perfectly.

This book is super trope-y, which honestly is a huge win, especially because the narrative is so well crafted and the characters' voices are unique and evolve so naturally.

Troy Barrett and Harris Drover's love story and swoon-worthy romance ticks so many happy-sigh boxes. The heat is sizzling, the internalised angst emotive, and the journey the two take is beautifully balanced, sweet, and exciting.

A definite must-read.
