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.

Out North is partnering with Hive Center for the Arts to host this gathering—bringing together creativity, community, and conversation in a welcoming, inclusive space.
