About This Audiobook

Rachel Reid’s *Unrivaled* is a high-octane love story where pride, passion, and pucks collide—this time, with the stakes higher than ever. Returning to the explosive dynamic between Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, Reid cranks up the heat in a seventh installment that’s less a sequel and more a full-blown reunion for fans who’ve been dying to see these two messy, magnetic hockey stars either destroy each other or finally get it right. The book balances razor-sharp banter with raw emotional stakes, diving deep into Ilya’s struggle to reconcile his ruthless on-ice persona with his softer, vulnerable side—and Shane’s equally fraught journey from golden boy to someone willing to fight for what he truly wants. If you crave slow-burn tension that snaps into fiery confession, this delivers in spades, wrapped in the glittery, high-stakes world of professional sports where every word could be a career-ending mistake—or the start of something unforgettable.

What sets this audiobook apart isn’t just the scorching chemistry between the leads; it’s the narrator’s ability to sell the duality of these characters. The performance leans into the contrast between Ilya’s gruff, sarcastic exterior and Shane’s unshakable optimism, using distinct vocal tics to make even the most clichéd locker-room scenes feel grounded and real. The pacing is relentless, with Reid cutting between past and present to build a portrait of two men who’ve spent years outmaneuvering each other—only to realize they’ve been playing the wrong game all along.

Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

I went into *Unrivaled* expecting another tropey enemies-to-lovers sports romance, but Reid and this narrator absolutely shattered my expectations. The audiobook’s strength lies in how it treats ambition and love as two sides of the same coin. Ilya and Shane’s push-and-pull isn’t just about sexual tension; it’s about two men who’ve built their identities around being the best, only to realize they’ve never stopped to ask what “best” actually means for them outside the rink. The narrator deserves serious credit here—they nail the Russian cadence in Ilya’s voice without overdoing the accent, and they sell Shane’s earnestness so well you’ll want to hug him through the headphones. That said, the production has a few rough edges. Some supporting characters—especially the coaches—sound like they were recorded in a tin can, and the transitions between past and present sometimes feel jarring, like a broadcast cut too abruptly. But these quirks fade once you’re hooked by Ilya’s growly, self-sabotaging energy and Shane’s relentless hopefulness. By the final act, I was full-on ugly-crying in a coffee shop, which should tell you everything about how well Reid stakes her emotional claims. If you’re a fan of sports romances that treat rivalry as a crucible for deeper intimacy—or if you just want to hear two guys scream at each other before kissing the hell out of it—this audiobook is a 12-hour adrenaline rush you won’t regret.
