Role Model

Settle in, because this one’s a slow burn worth savoring. From USA TODAY bestselling author Rachel Reid comes Role Model, the fifth book in the beloved Game Changers hockey romance series.

Meet Troy Barrett. He’s grumpy. He’s guarded. And he’s just been traded to the worst team in the league, right on the heels of a messy breakup and a public scandal. All Troy wants is to play hockey and be left alone. What he absolutely does not want? To “work on his online presence” with the team’s relentlessly upbeat social media manager.

Enter Harris Drover. Out, proud, and entirely too charming for Troy’s peace of mind. Harris doesn’t give up on people easily—and when he catches a glimpse of the real man beneath all that brooding, well, he’s a goner.

What starts as a reluctant working relationship becomes something far deeper. But for Troy, going public means facing his fears head-on. Loving someone in private is one thing. Loving them out loud is another game entirely.

This is LGBTQ+ romance at its swoony best—tender, steamy, and full of heart. Reid has a gift for emotionally rich characters and the kind of tension that keeps you turning pages long after you meant to put the book down.

New to the series, or working your way through? Either way, Role Model is a touchdown. (Or, well—a goal.)

The perfect companion for a salty, gray afternoon by the cove, when there’s nothing better to do than curl up and root for two people falling in love.
