[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers from Heated Rivalry Episodes 1-2.]
Crave’s Heated Rivalry is gloriously book-accurate, right down to the number of spicy scenes that made their way from the page to the small screen. Even two episodes in, we’ve already noticed a number of lines pulled directly from Rachel Reid’s hockey romance of the same name, which follows rival hockey players Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov’s (Connor Storrie) years-long secret romance.
As with any book-to-screen adaptation, though, a change in format means some adjustments to the story are needed. So far, most of Heated Rivalry‘s differences have been minor, like giving certain characters more to do that didn’t get as much face time in the book.
