Rachel Reid is the pen name of Rachelle Goguen. She chose it because it is much easier to say, spell and remember than Rachelle Goguen!
Rachel writes cute, romantic smut, mostly about hockey players. Her Game Changers m/m hockey romance series is available from Carina Press.
Rachel/Rachelle lives in Nova Scotia, Canada. She has always lived there, and it's looking like she probably always will. She has two boring degrees and two interesting kids.
I adored this whole series. I devoured the first book and loved it so much that I read the entire series in less than a week. (ADHD hyper focus mode)
First of all, if you’re not into super spicy intimacy, these books are not for you… move on.
The mental health representation in each of these books was spot on, not to mention repping social anxieties surrounding sexuality and societal expectations — these issues were so well portrayed. Each book was so well written I breezed through all six of them this week. Absolutely adored these stories and I’m going to miss the characters terribly — may have to reread. Absolutely loved.
Such a cute book. Eric is a quiet, introverted guy who’s about to go through a major change in his life, and along the way he falls head over heels for Kyle, who’s 15 years younger than him. It’s not easy for him, because he doesn’t want to be a burden on someone whose whole life is still ahead of him. Kyle, for his part, is already expecting Eric to push him away, because of past experiences that shaped how he sees himself. They almost manage to ruin their chance — but only almost — and the book is smooth, fun, and pretty sexy. I’m giving it 4 stars because the believability could have been a bit better. It all felt just a little too perfect to be real.
such a good book!!!! my new second favorite in the series behind heated rivalry!! i love these two characters so much they both compliment each other so well. i love how they navigated the age gap but i will say a lot of rachael reid’s characters try to avoid the relationship because they think it’s best for the other person to only fail quickly, so im just seeing this trend in every book which is a bit repetitive BUT her characters are all so different from eachother and their dynamics and how they go about their queerness so its nice to read different stories. this is definitely an entertaining series and I LOVE this world she’s created.
