From the New York Times bestselling author of Heated Rivalry comes a merry and bright hockey romance about finding your place, finding your people and finding your way back to the one you love the most.
“Rachel Reid’s hockey heroes are sexy, hot, and passionate!” —#1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely
Sometimes the biggest risk isn’t losing the game—it’s opening your heart.
In Time to Shine by Rachel Reid, two professional hockey players find themselves navigating more than just the pressures of the ice. Set in the fast-paced world of elite sports, the story brings together a reserved, emotionally guarded star and a bright, optimistic newcomer who refuses to dim his light.
At first, their differences create friction—contrasting personalities, hidden insecurities, and the unspoken rules of masculinity in professional sports. But as they spend more time together, a deeper connection begins to form, one that challenges everything they thought they knew about themselves.
The real conflict, however, lies beyond their growing attraction. Fear of judgment, career risks, and internal struggles threaten to pull them apart before they can fully understand what they mean to each other.
As emotions intensify, both must decide whether to stay within the safety of expectations—or risk everything for something real.
Tender, heartfelt, and quietly powerful, this story proves that sometimes, the bravest thing you can do… is let yourself be seen.
Review
“
Time to Shine is a boisterous romp about big, dumb, muscular people with big, dumb, muscular hearts. Reading this was like rolling around on an autumn lawn with a pack of rambunctious puppies.”
—The New York Times
“Reid shoots and scores with a heart-meltingly sweet romance centered on the simple joy in finding someone who loves you for the person you truly are and not the person you keep trying to become. As an added bonus, Reid includes love scenes guaranteed to thaw the ice on any hockey rink, making this a treat for sports-romance fans who enjoy some sensual heat with their slap shots.”—Booklist
“Reid’s winning formula of on-ice action and off-ice passion continues to work well, though longtime fans will find the relationship dynamics a bit familiar. Still, there’s plenty to swoon over here.”—Publishers Weekly
