Heated Rivalry

[Clefable]

Anyone watching this on NowTV?

I may have binged

🥵🥵🥵🥵

I think they are writing it now and filming around summer this year because the release date is sometime in the spring of 2027. I would think Reid must be in the final stages of the first draft if the third book is releasing in September, so Tierney might as well know the plot and plan accordingly.

He’s said he will only do 6 episodes so there’s a lot to edit out, I trust him though. He really made good use of the source material to enhance the story and bring the characters to the screen. Aided by immaculate acting. It’s a perfect storm of a show really. Great, but unknown actors who really really gave it their all plus a decent script. The commitment to bring true to the book’s genre is there but Tierny brought more nuance. I was blown away by the 2 lead’s willingness just to ‘go there’.

I am prepared to fight anyone just dismissing this as gay smut for girls!

So, the Winter Olympics is starting today. Is anyone planning on watching a bit of Ice Hockey, if they have not done so with interest previously? :D

Well, the boy aquarium may need a little watch… but I doubt I’ll understand it. Even though I’ve read about thirty MM hockey romances and watched HR thirty thousand times. What’s a power play? What’s a defenseman? 🤣🙌🏻

ITV is scheduling to show NHL hockey as well if you think you are interested in it in general

I find it difficult to follow a sport where I don't know the rules and while I read plenty of MM hockey books already, I am still not exactly sure what is going on.

We’re both ice hockey fans anyway so we’ll be watching, I grew up going to the nottingham panthers, nice to see they didn’t submit to Fifes anti pride pressures.

Thank you for that link, @reluctantbrit. I would love to get into ice hockey mostly as a way to stay connected to this world. @Simonjt, you don't fancy giving us a quick 101, do you?

@QueenMabby, I've started Tonsil Hockey after finishing Empty Netters and I'm loving it.

Tonsil Hockey is hilarious.

I like watching live sport but ice hockey is tricky to watch on tv as the puck is mall and the game is really fast.

I’m obsessed.
I need to read the books.

Today ends the 40% off sale at HarperCollins

Go to Google and Google “Heated Rivalry”.

I’ve seen it; definitely worth the google

😉

Damn I do not like these books, they are definitely not for me, but I think I will order one more because I am so curious about the plot (and random Ilya sightings). This is pathetic 😂

I assume this HR thread was heated rivalry related…

Ha! So disappointing that it isn’t. I’ve seen a really cute pebble version of HR today.

The pebbles and the Sylvanian families are a delight! The extra subtext on the pebbles is hilarious.

I am now at the stage of watching HR TikToks and reels. I am a mature middle aged woman with a life. Supposedly - but I am bewitched body and soul. 🤦‍♀️

@Fatrascal27 you are very much not alone, and there’s no end of content to consume

Have we all see Hudson’s photo shoot in wonderland?

<fans self>

I've found my people! Honestly I am middle aged mother. Straight. But this show 😱

Sometimes I forget about Threads and then I remember and “waste” another 30 mins of my life! The whole Connor / Francois real time friendship is very time consuming too.

We're all the same, @Fatrascal27! I am for sure. I have stopped consuming anything that is not HR-related. For the past 3 weeks I've not picked up the book I was halfway through on, keep falling behind on Industry, had to pretty much force myself to watch Bridgerton to avoid spoilers, am at least 6 episodes behind on The Rest Is Entetainment... But it is all Marina's fault to start off with, so there.

No, please link! I really don't know what it is about Hudson. I mean, I have spent not an inconsiderable amount of time trying to figure it out - all in the name of research, of course - and have some pretty solid theories, but, still, it has caught me by surprise.

Hope this link works
