If you haven't heard yet, BookTok sensation Heated rivalry now it's a Crave Original airing in Canada and on HBO in the US, and the internet is completely losing it. The longing, the desire, the tension – everything is insanely hot and we COULD NEVER get enough of Ilya and Shane. People were already going crazy even before the series premierebut now that the first two episodes have aired, we can barely catch our breath from all the excitement.
For those who don't know that Heated rivalry Soon, let me tell you a tidbit: Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams), captain of the fictional Montreal Voyagers, thought hockey was the only thing that could distract him – until he took on the Boston Bears and met his heated rival, Russian native Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie). Sparks are flying both on and off the ice, and Shane may have finally met his match… in every way.
We're talking sports and sweat, team rivalries, hot hotel room dates, long-distance romantic torments, crazy longing, forbidden love… and yes, so much sex. The perfect recipe for an exciting romantic series that you can't stop watching.
And although we only met Ilya and Shane for the first time, the Internet already has something to say:
But as a Canadian, my favorite comment is has This is a comment about Canadians taking off their shoes when entering a room:
Because yes, it's true – we don't wear shoes inside. For example, if someone tells me, “Don't worry, you don't have to take your shoes off,” I immediately cringe and take them off anyway. I mean, I wore them on the streets of Toronto, and you want them on your carpet? This logic doesn't make sense to me. And frankly, Canadians online couldn't agree more:
Nice to see this Heated rivalry It's not just a Canadian-made show based on a novel by a Canadian author and featuring many Canadians, it's also true to the little things that make Canada special. Like… yeah, take your shoes off as soon as you walk in the door. It's just polite, guys.
are you looking? Heated rivalry? Tell me in the comments. And for all my fellow Canadians, have you noticed the polite “take your shoes off at the door” moment?
