TL;DR

The Berliner argues that Heated Rivalry, Rachel Reid’s popular M/M hockey romance (the second in the Game Changers series), set the stage for its HBO Max adaptation and reflects genre fiction’s booming audience. Despite data from The New York Times and Amazon showing strong demand for hockey romance, publishers like Harlequin have often under-printed or under-promoted genre titles ahead of screen debuts, a misstep the piece says industry-watchers should avoid by ensuring ready reprints and coordinated print-and-screen launches.
