BROOKLYN Smutty Book Club - Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid

Happy Dry January! Paddy's of Park Slope will be making some yummy mocktails for those skipping booze this month. We will also have some signature drinks involving ingredients like ginger ale, blueberries, bananas and vodka (not all together).... because by unanimous demand, the book for January is Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid!!!!!!! This is the hot gay hockey book taking over the nation. Incase you've been living under a rock, the super hot highly adDICKtive series based on this book is currenting streaming on HBO. Harlequin really dropped the ball so you'll need to read the ebook or audio book. Paper books are sold out at most book shops.

Housekeeping note: Someone has been using the name of Smutty Book Club and its organizers to invite people to for-profit events. If you receive any solicitation for an event or receive communication outside of Meetup, asking for money - it is a scam. Please let us know if you see anything suspicious. ... Ok, the one money exception is if you are on the group chat ordering matching Heated Rivalry hockey jerseys :)

Ok back to Heated Rivalry! Here's what the publisher says:
. Nothing interferes with Shane Hollander's game - definitely not the sexy rival he loves to hate.
. Pro hockey star Shane Hollander isn't just crazy talented, he's got a spotless reputation. Hockey is his life. Now that he's captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, he won't let anything jeopardize that, especially the sexy Russian whose hard body keeps him awake at night.
. Boston Bears captain Ilya Rozanov is everything Shane's not. The self-proclaimed king of the ice, he's as cocky as he is talented. No one can beat him - except Shane. They've made a career on their legendary rivalry, but when the skates come off, the heat between them is undeniable. When Ilya realizes he wants more than a few secret hookups, he knows he must walk away. The risk is too great.
. As their attraction intensifies, they struggle to keep their relationship out of the public eye. If the truth comes out, it could ruin them both. But when their need for each other rivals their ambition on the ice, secrecy is no longer an option...

The book for each month is chosen at the previous book club. So please come with your suggestions for February!
