Heated Rivalry (Premiere Review) | Magnetic Chemistry, Sharp Tension, and Off-the-Charts Heat

Two hockey players from opposing teams crouch face-to-face on the ice in a tense standoff, under the title Heated Rivalry: Premiere Review, with the book cover of Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid displayed on the right.
