The ice is melting... Our hearts are racing and the only thing more heated than this rivalry is our full length-uncut reaction! 💦

Small tidbit of info—- second sexy scene was their first day of filming. Just let that sink in. Their chemistry is amazing!
Andrea Nolan
Ok, i have to minimize the screen during this incrdible sex scene to say something... this is the most ethically sound, safe, sane, consensual sex scene i have ever witnessed on television. I have never seen anything close to this level of ongoing consent on film in tv or movies. I am completely turned on and in love and totally "in" this sexual moment with these two. Honestly i have never been so switched on by a male on male scene, and i have never seen anything so consistently focused on consent throughout the whole show. BRAVO!
Sam ! !
Wanted to point out because it’s adorable, when Ilya won the cup he yelled ‘for you, mom/I did it, mom.’ (I’ve heard both translations from people) It’s sad they don’t translate it in the captions because it’s a great moment.

I've lustened to all ofcthe boojs on audible , definitely worth it.

I can't wait for you guys to read the books, the Las Vegas scene in the show was amazing but in the book its so much more.....the extra details in the book take it next level

And even more so because it came out between 2000 and 2005

"Queer As Folk" on Showtime had some pretty explicit sex scenes like this.

As to your question about if the actors looked like this before- Connor Storie did not! If you look stuff up of him in other things, he definitely wasn't all muscled up like he is for the show. The boy put in the work!

Shane broke my heart at the end “We didn’t even kiss” So many years pass inbetween them being able to be together. I ARC read for a lot of indie authors and review on my Instagram page (that’s all my page is) and I’ve read a lot of M/M books (I read all the time) A lot of time I find M/M (male/male) books hit you in the heart a lot deeper and the storyline is so much more thought out and beautifully written. If you ever want any suggestions for Male/gay books, I’ve read a lot. For The Fans by Nyla K and Ruin my Life by Julia McColgan are extremely good, (especially For The Fans). I’ve read the book, Heated Rivalry. I’ve just ordered the updated version (cover) and the other books in the series.

The ENTIRE SCENE IN THE HOTEL ROOM 😮💨😍 and Ilya just stood there like an entire meal. Connor Storrie improvised dragging the chair over to the bed, that wasn’t scripted. The way the man holds his glass, his JAWLINE. I’m a puddle.
Chrissy
The chokehold this show has me in. The first time they have sex is so beautifully shot, intimate with brief pauses inbetween….Their chemistry is incredible. Plus Ilya is just swoon to the moon 😍🥵 Not me suddenly bursting into tears when Ilya gets back into bed after the shower and looks at Shane and says “worth the wait?” And Shane lovingly holding his face and kissing him 😭😭
Petty Pumpkins
completely agree with the Sam Reid comparison!!
K
Shane really does not understand what Ilya is going through in Russia. He didn't understand that why Ilya was upset in Las Vegas and he didn't understand that Ilya was likely under surveillance and his phone tapped while in Russia. Connor Storrie is playing this part brilliantly. His Ilya is right up there with Sam Reid's Lestat.

So I saw in a comment that Rachel Reid posted a short story of Iyla’s perspective of Las Vegas!! Pumpkins predicted it and there are some minor spoilers, but if you’re curious it’s a good read. https://www.rachelreidwrites.com/news/2024/3/24

thank you!! we are so excited to read all of them!

I've almost finished reading all the books. I'm on book 4 which is Common Goal. I read Heated Rivalry first (book 2), then The Long Game (book 6 and a Shane/Ilya sequel), then I read Role Model (book 5 and set at the same time as book 6), I figured then I'd read Game Changer (book 1) because of episode 3 but found it very boring. Then I read Tough Guy (book 3) and really liked it. Just a long winded way of saying you can totally start with Heated Rivalry and it's such a fun, good read. But the order really doesn't matter all that much as you can see. I'm happy you guys are reacting to this show it has been consuming my life.

Love how the show is about ice hockey but they skip all the games😆 Can't wait for ep 4
Crystal
We didn’t even kiss?!?!!! Like cmoooon!!!! This show has me in a psychosis it’s sooo good. And not even like the smutt (which is phenomenal) but Connor and Hudson do such a good job at really expressing emotions through micro movements in their face. As someone who have been in years long situationship before (not proud) the back and forth dynamic and the excitement and disappointment is just so real
Amanda Caroline
I JUST now made the connection that the fake names they gave each other are actually so close to their own names - Jane/Shane and Lily/Ilya 😂 can’t believe I didn’t catch that in the first ep!
Jeff Cabrera
The way I’ve been waiting for you guys to drop these! 😍😅
jadespademarmalade
I haven’t seen yearning like this since Merlin and Arthur baby - Hollanov has bewitched me and consumed my soul. Who was I before this show dropped??? Who will I be after??? Stay tuned to find out 🫨
Kevin Moyer
Shane yearning for something more and being sad they didn’t kiss at the end, made me so emo 😢the actors that play them both are so funny irl and they have such great chemistry together they really chose the best actors for this series :))
Beck Huston
Ok now watch episode 3. Go ahead, I will wait here. 🙂

Shane always folding his pants.

Obsessed with this show. Their chemistry is insane.
