Heated Rivalry Bundle: Hockey Romance for People Who Want Zero Real-World Drama

If you're craving hockey romance right now, you're probably craving two things:

1. Elite chemistry

2. Absolutely no real-world controversy

So let's talk about the hottest (and least controversial) male hockey players in our orbit this week: Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov.

And yes, we're calling them "non-controversial" on purpose. If you've been watching the USA hockey conversation unfold lately, you know exactly why we're choosing peace. This is the kind of hockey content we can all agree on: fictional men, fictional problems, and very real hot sex!

The book that started it all: Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid

If you've already read Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid, you're probably nodding along like, "Yes. Correct. Thank you."

Because this book is a full-on experience. It's fast, it's steamy, it's emotionally satisfying, and it's the kind of romance that makes you understand why hockey romance is our hottest sports genre! (Seriously, our sports section is literally "hockey" and "not hockey!")

If you haven't read it yet, here's the spoiler-free promise: you're getting high heat + high feelings with a dynamic that keeps you turning pages like your life depends on it.

And if you've been hearing about the steamy HBO Max buzz? Same vibe. Same "I'm going to need a minute" (or longer!) energy.

Introducing: The Heated Rivalry Bundle ($44.99)

At Romantasy Bookstore, we love a book bundle that feels like a whole mood. Not just "here's a book" but "here's the experience." Because when you have Romantasy Bookstore right next to Fantasy Gifts, you've got a match made in heaven! 

So this week, we're featuring our Heated Rivalry Bundle, built around Shane + Ilya's iconic tension and the kind of romance-reader joy that makes you text your best friend in all caps.

Price: $44.99 Availability: Online and in-store at all locations

What's inside:

• A copy of Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid

• A pretty-in-pink 6" dildo

• A heated lubricant (because ice is overrated)

• A custom bookmark with the best line ever: Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird

• Cute stickers

Why romance readers love book bundles (and why this one works)

Book bundles are basically the romance-reader version of a treat yourself moment. They're fun, they're curated, and they make reading feel like an event, even if you're reading in sweatpants with your hair in a bun and a snack you swore you weren't going to eat (like that tuna melt!).

This bundle works because it hits three reader sweet spots:

• It's trope-adjacent without being complicated. You don't need a 12-book reading order to enjoy it.

• It's high heat, but still story-first. You're getting spice and substance.

• It's playful. It doesn't take itself too seriously, which is exactly what we want from our fictional hockey boyfriends.

Let's talk about the extras (because yes, they're the point)

We're a bookstore, so obviously the book is the star. But we are also the brainchild and creation of Fantasy Gifts. This bundle is also for the readers who like to make their reading life a little more immersive.

The bookmark: Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird

If you know, you know.

This is one of those lines that lives in romance-reader lore. It's funny, it's specific, and it's the perfect bookmark because every time you open your book, it reminds you exactly what kind of ride you're on.

The stickers

Cute. Fun. Low stakes. Maximum serotonin.

Put them on your Kindle case, journal, water bottle, or laptop or save them for your next bookish craft moment.

The "heat" pieces (seriously, they'll melt ice!)

We're keeping this bookstore-friendly, but we're also not pretending romance readers are here for hand-holding.

This bundle includes:

• A pretty-in-pink 6"dildo

• A heated lubricant that warms up enough to melt any ice

If you're new to toys, this is a very approachable combo -and if you're not new, it's still a fun, flirty add-on that fits the vibe perfectly.

Who should grab this bundle

This is for you if:

• you're a hockey romance reader (or hockey romance-curious)

• you love a book that's spicy and emotionally satisfying

• you want a fun, curated treat that feels like a whole night-in plan

• you're shopping for a romance reader who deserves a gift that's actually exciting

And honestly? It's also for anyone who wants to opt out of real-world sports discourse and opt into fictional men behaving badly (in the best way).
