On this episode of The Book Fix, your hosts Yajaira and Cheli dive into the addictive, tension-filled world of Heated Rivalry—a hockey romance that somehow turns pure animosity into something way more dangerous… and way more irresistible.
We’re following Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, two rival NHL players whose careers are defined by competition, pride, and years of mutual hatred. But behind closed doors? That rivalry takes a very different turn. What starts as a secret, physical outlet between enemies slowly evolves into something deeper, messier, and a lot harder to ignore—especially when careers, reputations, and personal identities are on the line.
Yajaira and Cheli break down the slow-burn tension, the emotional payoff, and why this enemies-to-lovers story hits so hard. From elite sports pressure to hidden relationships and vulnerability beneath all that bravado, this book delivers angst, heat, and surprisingly tender moments that kept us hooked.
Is the chemistry worth the chaos? Did the secrecy add to the tension or just stress us out? And why are we still not over that long-term buildup?
Tune in for all the takes, the thirst, and the chaos—because this rivalry? It’s way more than just a game.

Your hosts Yajaira and Cheli are back with another chaotic, thirst-filled episode of The Book Fix—and this time, they’re diving skates-first into Pucking Around by Emily Rath… and yeah, things get messy in the best way.
Rachel Price just landed her dream role as a sports medicine practitioner for Jacksonville’s hottest NHL team—career secured, boundaries clear… until her past literally skates back into her life. The one-night, no-names, “I’ll never see you again” guy? He’s now one of the team’s star players—and he doesn’t even recognize her. Add in his brooding best friend (the equipment manager) and a superstitious goalie who’s way too attached to her presence, and suddenly Rachel’s juggling way more than just her job.
In this episode, Yajaira and Cheli break down the why choose chaos, the tension, the dynamics between all three men, and whether Rachel is really in control—or just barely holding it together. Expect lots of screaming, moral debates (kind of), and the ultimate question: is this empowerment… or a full-on emotional risk we would NOT survive?

This week on The Book Fix, your hosts Yajaira and Cheli are reviewing The Striker by Ana Huang—and the tension in this one? Absolutely unfair.
We’re diving into a high-stakes, off-limits romance between a controversial Premier League superstar and a former ballerina who wants nothing to do with his world. Asher Donovan has the fame, the ego, and a reputation that follows him everywhere—but when he’s forced into off-season training, he meets the one woman he shouldn’t want. Scarlett DuBois is rebuilding her life after a career-ending accident, and the last thing she needs is her brother’s rival distracting her… but proximity has other plans.
We break down the chemistry, the angst, and whether this forced proximity, rivals-to-teammates dynamic actually delivers—without spoiling the moments that will have you spiraling.

This week on The Book Fix, your hosts Yajaira and Cheli dive into The Deal by Elle Kennedy — the college hockey romance that basically set the standard for fake dating done right.
Hannah Wells is confident in most areas of her life—except when it comes to romance. Determined to finally get her crush’s attention, she makes a deal with Garrett Graham, the cocky (and very annoying) captain of the hockey team: she’ll tutor him to save his GPA, and in return, he’ll pretend to date her to make another guy jealous. Simple… until it’s not.
Garrett just wants to keep his hockey career on track, but what starts as a mutually beneficial arrangement quickly turns into something neither of them expected. The lines blur, the chemistry hits hard, and suddenly “pretend” isn’t enough.
We’re breaking down the tension, the banter, and why this book still has readers hooked years later. Is it overhyped… or is it that addictive?

 On this week’s episode of the Book Fix Podcast, your hosts Yajaira and Cheli are baking the cover (and trying not to ruin it) while reviewing Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert—a chaotic, cozy romance about Eve, a well-meaning hot mess who accidentally hits a rigid, control-loving B&B owner with her car and ends up working (and living) with him, turning their enemies-to-lovers tension into something unexpectedly sweet and steamy. We chat about what makes their dynamic work, our favorite moments, and whether our bake survives the chaos (spoiler: barely).
