"Unrivalled, the next instalment in the Canadian author's Game Changers series, will be released internationally on 29 September, the publisher HarperCollins announced on Tuesday. The wild success of the screen adaptation has driven a level of interest in the books that rivals that of Bridgerton, booksellers have told Guardian Australia, with paperback copies of the first two novels selling out within a day and backorders piling up."
"No one has it in stock, not even the publisher! a Dymocks spokesperson said. Heated Rivalry launched on HBO Max on 28 November and follows the sexual encounters and budding romance of two closeted athletes, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, competing in a hypermasculine ice hockey league. It is based on the first two of Reid's novels, 2018's Game Changer and 2019's Heated Rivalry."
"A spokesperson for HarperCollins Australia said the novels had been available in Australia and New Zealand in ebook and audiobook format before December and the company had acquired print rights for Australia and New Zealand as soon as we heard that the series was coming to HBO Max in Australia in late November. We went to print immediately and print copies of books one and two were available from 18 December, with books three through six available from Tuesday 27th January, the spokesperson said."
Unrivalled, the seventh Game Changers novel, will be released internationally on 29 September through HarperCollins. The HBO Max adaptation Heated Rivalry launched on 28 November and follows sexual encounters and a budding romance between two closeted ice hockey players, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov. The screen adaptation used the first two novels, Game Changer (2018) and Heated Rivalry (2019). The TV adaptation prompted demand comparable to Bridgerton, causing paperback copies of the first two novels to sell out quickly and backorders to accumulate. HarperCollins Australia confirmed earlier ebook and audiobook availability, acquired print rights after the show's announcement, and attributed prior print delays to the printer.
