About this Event
🏒✨ DROP THE PUCK — IT’S BOOK CLUB SEASON ✨🏒
Lace up your skates and hit the ice with Out North Reads as we draft our spring selection: Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid.
Are you familiar with the HBO-acclaimed hockey drama and craving a little more off-ice tension? Consider this your power play. We’re stepping into the rink and diving deep into a story packed with rival teams, slow-burn chemistry, locker-room longing, and a romance that skates the line between competition and connection.
This isn’t just a casual scrimmage — it’s a full-contact literary matchup. Expect:
- Breakaway discussions
- Overtime-worthy swoons
- Body checks of emotional depth
- And a few penalty minutes for anyone who forgets the snacks
Whether you’re a seasoned romance reader or a rookie looking to get in the game, this is your official call-up to the big leagues. Come ready to pass the mic, take your shot, and maybe even score a few new friendships along the way.
📚🔥 Rivalry never felt so good.
🚨 No offsides. No icing. Just heat.
Grab your copy, suit up, and join us at center ice.
