I’ve only just found out about it…..

RedRiverShore6 · 10/01/2026 21:03

Just watching now, on episode 2

afaloren · 10/01/2026 21:11

I’ve watched it all. Obsessed. Not just steamy but really romantic!

CMOTDibbler · 10/01/2026 21:13

Watched it all Blush

Fatrascal27 · 10/01/2026 21:16

Currently on episode 4. Also obsessed.

Justme10 · 10/01/2026 21:27

Not watched it yet but I do like the books! Looking forward to watching 😁

Clefable · 10/01/2026 21:36

I’m now reading the book! I’ve read a ton of hockey romances in my life but not for past few years so had missed this series.

Loved it! Acting is superb.

Fatrascal27 · 10/01/2026 22:01

I had no interest in Kip and Scott tbh. May have skipped bits of that episode.

Fatrascal27 · 10/01/2026 22:10

Btw no one I know in RL has watched so please feel free to obsess alongside me. I need the company.

DH started to watch but decided it wasn’t for him.

Have you watched whole series? Their episode is more meaningful in context of other episodes. Having said that though, I also did not connect as much to this one, I though the actor who plays Kip was.miscast.

Fatrascal27 · 10/01/2026 22:20

No but am almost finished it

Fatrascal27 · 10/01/2026 22:44

Ah the post funeral phone call almost had me in tears.😭

mmmcoffeeandcake · 10/01/2026 22:57

I’ve just started it. Long time lover of this genre, pleased to see it going mainstream!

8TinyToeBeans · 11/01/2026 17:11

I binge watched it yesterday. Read the books in the past and really loved how they handled it in the tv series. Scott and Kip are a bit random in terms of it breaking up the story of Ilya and Shane, but their relationship and Scott's bravery are crucial for Ilya and Shane's story, so I'm glad it was included. Also, Scott and Kip were the first book in the series so it was only right they get included!

8TinyToeBeans · 11/01/2026 17:14

I'm wondering if I'll see any Heated Rivalry stuff at the local EIHL games - especially given pride night is coming up in a few weeks. I want to see it being really popular, but I also kinda don't want it to seep too much into the real crowd cause there was some really gross stuff going on at NHL games. People can forget that the real life hockey players aren't pawns in some real world HR.

Fatrascal27 · 11/01/2026 17:30

I got bored of Scott and Kip but by the end realised their role in the story. And I did shout out yes! when the speech let to….‘I’m coming to the cottage. ‘ May have punched the air.

HermioneWeasley · 11/01/2026 17:31

I don’t have sky or now 😢

RedRiverShore6 · 11/01/2026 17:34

Finished it today, I really liked the Scott and Kip episode but I haven't read the books.

Fatrascal27 · 11/01/2026 17:44

Worth getting it just for this!

Very bingealble!

I guess if the budget had been bigger they would've made 1-2 more episodes so the so the two storylines are better integrated. I did not read the books so for me their reunion felt a bit random.

I am a long-term MM hockey romance reader but never read these books.

Got NowTV just for and just bought book 1 as a paperback, I really love Scott and Kip.
Will most likely get the box sets as ebooks as well and there is another book coming out this year to finish off the story line.

QueenMabby · 12/01/2026 18:26

Yes! Watched it all as it came out in Canada (thank you vpn!) and am very obsessed.

It's on dailymotion for free.

I mean... Rozanov and Scott Hunter are hot, but the genre is basically gay porn.

Didn't like the actor that played Shane. Didn't think he was anything to look at and it's wasn't very believable that he was some kind of hockey superstar.

Rozanov, on the other hand, was brilliant. I'm Russian and they got the Russian dialogue and his relationship with his brother and father spot on. Even his accent was very good.
