I have a confession to make: I am a loon.

This is the term used to describe fans of the Heated Rivalry television show and Rachel Reid’s book series that it is based on.

The first book of the series, Game Changer (2019) focused on NHL captain Scott Hunter and barista Kip Grady. Their story is the subject of episode 3 of the Heated Rivalry television show. Because it was condensed, there is little about Kip’s home life in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. His mother and sister are not mentioned in the show, although his father, as played by Matt Gordon, is one of my favorite peripheral characters in the series.

*Kip & his dad as played by Robbie G.K. & Matt Gordon.*

Author Rachel Reid has always been very connected with her audience and generous about posting additional content online for free: sharing scenes and chapters trimmed from the books as well as short stories not featured elsewhere. You can find these on her website here.

One piece that is a little harder to find is an epilogue to Game Changer that was posted as an epub file. I’m posting it below for those who want to easily read it online, or as a downloadable .pdf.
