Synopsis

"Rachel Reid's hockey heroes are sexy, hot, and passionate!" —#1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely

From the USA TODAY bestselling author of the Game Changers series comes a merry and bright hockey romance about finding your place, finding your people and finding your way back to the one you love the most. 

For Landon Stackhouse, being called up from the Calgary farm team is exciting and terrifying, even if, as the backup goalie, he rarely leaves the bench. A quiet loner by nature, Landon knows he gives off strong “don’t talk to me” vibes. The only player who doesn’t seem to notice is Calgary’s superstar young winger, Casey Hicks.

Casey treats Landon like an old friend, even though they’ve only interacted briefly in the past. He’s endlessly charming and completely laid-back in a way that Landon absolutely can’t relate to. They couldn’t have less in common, but Landon needs a place to live that’s not a hotel room and Casey has just bought a massive house—and hates being alone.

As roommates, Casey refuses to be defeated by Landon’s one-word answers. As friends, Landon comes to notice a few things about Casey, like his wide, easy smile and sparkling green-blue eyes. Spending the holidays together only intensifies their bromance-turned-romance. But as the new year approaches, the countdown to the end of Landon’s time in Calgary is on.

Need more Reid? Don't miss The Shots You Take—a sweet and sexy hockey romance about two ex-best friends with benefits who are about to discover whether you can ever really have a second chance. Coming March 4, 2025!

2.5/5 Look, I really wanted to adore Time to Shine, I really did, but there were a few things about it that I'm not a big fan of in romance stories that kept me from rating it higher. I was actually really looking forward to this release because Rachel Reid finally decided to do a cover without a shi......more

Goodreads review by Snjez on September 28, 2023

This was such a lovely, sweet and heartwarming story. I absolutely loved Casey right from the start. He is pure sunshine and a very kind and caring person. The only thing I wasn't happy about were (view spoiler)[his hookups in the first half of the book but, luckily, they were mostly off-page. (hide spoiler)] Landon is his comple......more

Goodreads review by Maditales on October 21, 2023

I don’t really know how to feel about this book because even though the overall story was cute, there were so many red flags that were just brushed over or never resolved. On top of that the dialogue was often so cringey that I had to put the book down and breathe because the jokes weren’t funny jus......more

Goodreads review by Nilufer on June 05, 2023

As a fan of the Game Changers series and sports romances in general, I was excited to dive into this slow burn, heartwarming men-to-men gay romance that awakened my holiday spirits. It combined the perfect blend of grumpy meets sunshine, friends-to-lovers, forced proximity, and opposites attract tro......more

*3.5 stars* I think I'm rating Time to Shine a little more harshly because I know how killer Rachel Reid's books can be. That's not to say that Time to Shine wasn't good, but it wasn't close to my favorite from this author. The story has two adult MCs, but I couldn't shake the feeling that it felt a......more
