Heated Rivalry is all the internet can talk about. I swear I can’t grab a drink or have a coffee date without it coming up. Even if someone hasn’t watched it, they’ve definitely heard of it — and for all the right reasons. It’s not just spicy, steamy, and oh-so-hot; it’s tender and romantic, too. It makes you laugh, cry, and yearn…all in a single episode. We seriously just can’t get enough.
If you need a quick primer on Heated Rivalry: Montreal captain Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) meets his match in Boston Bear Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie). Their rivalry burns hot — on the ice and off — and suddenly hockey isn’t the only thing heating up, if you know what I mean. (Of course you do.)
I must say, for a girl who has ZERO interest in watching anything sports-related, it’s wild how quickly this show has me considering getting season passes for my local team. Like, I am this close to special-ordering a “Rozanov” jersey and swapping my figure skates for hockey ones.
Based on the novel by our very own Canadian gem, Rachel Reid, this book-to-screen adaptation has fans absolutely gushing over how accurate and well-executed it is. And honestly, as someone who has dove deep into the show myself, I can confirm — along with the entire internet — that it’s absolutely fantastic.
Just look at how every corner of the internet is absolutely gushing. Like, we’re counting down the minutes until each episode:
And we’re loosing our minds over how sexy it is:
And yes, we’re even blushing while making crafts — cause everyone loves a resourceful chick:
But above all, we’re totally obsessing over every. single. scene. Like:
Are you watching Heated Rivalry? Tell me in the comments. And if you want to get spicy, tell me which scene has been your favourite so far. I want to gush with fellow fans.
