What Happened
Author Rachel Reid has announced a delay in the release of her upcoming hockey romance novel, Unrivaled, originally scheduled for September 29, 2023. In a video message posted on Instagram, Reid revealed that the new release date is now set for June 1, 2027. The delay is attributed to the demands of her sudden fame and worsening symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
Why It Matters
Reid’s Unrivaled is the third installment in her popular Game Changer series, which follows the love story of hockey rivals Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov. The first two books, Heated Rivalry and The Long Game, have been adapted into a successful HBO miniseries, significantly elevating Reid’s profile as an author. The delay in publication raises concerns among fans eager for the continuation of the beloved characters’ story.
What’s Next
Despite the setback, Reid expressed her commitment to ensuring that Unrivaled meets her high standards. She stated, “There’s nothing more important to me than Unrivaled being the best book it can possibly be.” Reid also hinted at potential announcements in the coming weeks that may provide further updates on her work and health. Fans are encouraged to remain supportive as she navigates these challenges.
