The hockey gods (and Rachel Reid) have given us a gift: two fictional hockey players so universally adored (and so refreshingly non-controversial) that we can all agree on one thing—Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are the moment.
And yes, we’re saying “non-controversial” with a wink. If you’ve been seeing the real-world USA hockey discourse lately, you already get it. This is your safe space: no politics, no comment-section brawls—just hot hockey romance and a bundle designed to make your next reading session… significantly less innocent.
If you know, you know
If you’ve read Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid, you’re already well up on the chemistry, the tension, the “I can’t stop thinking about this” energy, and—without spoiling anything—the fact that Shane has a few favorite things he likes to play with.
If you’ve also been keeping up with the steamy HBO Max buzz, you know the vibe: competitive, addictive, and extremely not for the faint of heart.
So we made a bundle that matches that energy.
Introducing: The Heated Rivalry Bundle ($44.99)
This week’s featured book bundle is for readers who like their romance:
- fast-paced
- high-heat
- emotionally satisfying
- and just a little bit “I’ll be in my room, don’t ask questions.”
Here’s what you get for $44.99:
- A copy of Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid
- A pretty-in-pink 6″ dildo
- A heated lubricant that warms up enough to melt any ice
- A custom bookmark featuring the best line ever: “Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird”
- Cute stickers (because we’re still wholesome-ish)
Available online and in-store at all locations.
Why this bundle hits so hard (pun fully intended)
Let’s be honest: a book bundle is only as good as the mood it creates.
This one is built for that very specific kind of night where you want to:
- get pulled into a story you can’t put down
- blush a little
- gasp a little
- and then decide you’re absolutely not going to just “go to sleep” afterward
The Heated Rivalry Bundle is basically a curated experience: read the scenes, feel the tension, then… take matters into your own hands.
What’s inside (and how to use it)
1) Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid
If you’re new here: welcome. If you’re not: welcome back to your obsession.
This is hockey romance at its finest—sharp, sexy, and emotionally sticky in the best way. It’s the kind of book that makes you understand why people say “I’m a romance reader” like it’s a personality trait.
Pro tip: if you’re buying this as a gift, just know you’re basically handing someone a match and a can of gasoline. In a cute way.
2) Pretty-in-pink 6″ dildo
This is the “Shane would approve” piece of the bundle.
It’s approachable, fun, and not intimidating—aka perfect if you’re:
- exploring toys for the first time
- upgrading from something smaller
- or just want a reliable, cute classic that does what it’s supposed to do
Pair it with the heated lube (next section) and you’ve got a combo that goes from “I’m just reading” to “I need a minute” very quickly.
3) Heated lubricant (aka: the ice melter)
If you’ve never tried warming lube, this is your sign.
Heated lubricant adds a gentle warming sensation that can make everything feel more intense—without needing anything complicated. Think of it like turning the thermostat up a few degrees, except the thermostat is… you.
A few notes (because we’re spicy and smart):
- Start with a small amount and add more as you go.
- Everyone’s sensitivity is different, so “warming” can feel mild for some and very noticeable for others.
- If you have sensitive skin, do a quick patch test first.
4) Custom bookmark: “Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird”
This line is iconic. Period.
It’s also the perfect bookmark because it does two things at once:
- makes you laugh every time you open the book
- reminds you exactly what kind of reading journey you’re on
5) Stickers
Because you deserve a little treat.
Put them on your Kindle case, your water bottle, your journal, your laptop—anywhere you want a tiny reminder that you’re living your best romance-reader life.
Who this bundle is for
You’ll love the Heated Rivalry Bundle if you’re:
- a hockey romance fan (obviously)
- a “one more chapter” person who always ends up reading until 2 a.m.
- in your “I want spice, but I also want feelings” era
- looking for a playful way to explore toys without it feeling overwhelming
- craving something fun and flirty that’s also actually a great deal
And if you’re buying for someone else? This is a top-tier gift for:
- your romance bestie
- your book club friend who always picks the spiciest option
- your partner (with the unspoken message: “read this and meet me later”)
The cheeky part: the least controversial hockey players right now
We said what we said.
In a world where real sports headlines can get… complicated… it’s nice to have two hockey players we can all rally behind without needing a PR team, a press conference, or a 47-tweet thread.
Shane and Ilya are here to do what hockey romance does best:
- deliver elite tension
- satisfy the fantasy
- and keep the drama safely on the page
