Tough Guy (Game Changers Book 3) Paperback by Rachel Reid

Fall in love with Tough Guy by New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Rachel Reid, the third novel in the beloved Game Changers hockey romance series. This heartfelt MM sports romance combines opposites-attract chemistry, emotional vulnerability, mental health representation, and unforgettable romance in a story that proves true strength comes from being yourself.

Professional hockey player Ryan Price is known as one of the toughest enforcers in the league. On the ice, he's fearless. Off the ice, he quietly battles anxiety while trying to navigate a demanding career and the expectations placed upon him.

After being traded to Toronto, Ryan hopes for a fresh start. Instead, he unexpectedly reconnects with Fabian Salah, an aspiring musician who has never cared much for hockey—but has never forgotten the almost-kiss they shared years ago.

Despite their very different worlds, the chemistry between Ryan and Fabian is impossible to ignore. As Fabian introduces Ryan to Toronto's vibrant LGBTQ+ community, friendship slowly grows into something much deeper. For the first time in years, Ryan begins to imagine a future built on honesty, happiness, and love.

But balancing life as a professional athlete while embracing his authentic self isn't easy. Ryan must decide whether he's willing to risk everything for the chance to live—and love—without fear.

Filled with humor, heart, emotional healing, and authentic LGBTQ+ representation, Tough Guy is an uplifting romance about vulnerability, courage, mental health, and finding the strength to choose happiness.

This is Book 3 of the Game Changers Series and can be enjoyed as a standalone, though readers will enjoy recurring characters and ongoing storylines throughout the series.
