What Happened
Author Rachel Reid has announced the postponement of her upcoming book, Unrivaled, the third installment in her popular Game Changers series. Originally scheduled for release on September 29, 2026, the new publication date is set for June 1, 2027. This delay is primarily due to Reid’s worsening health condition, specifically her Parkinson’s disease, which has made it increasingly difficult for her to write.
Why It Matters
The Game Changers series, which includes the hit novel Heated Rivalry, has garnered a significant following, particularly after the success of the HBO Max adaptation. Fans of the series are eager for the continuation of the love story between Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov. Reid’s decision to delay the book reflects her commitment to delivering a quality narrative, despite the personal challenges she faces. In a heartfelt Instagram video, she expressed the importance of taking the necessary time to ensure that Unrivaled meets her standards.
What’s Next
Reid has assured fans that pre-orders for Unrivaled will still be honored. She also hinted at exciting announcements related to the series in the near future. As she navigates her health challenges, Reid remains focused on her writing and the impact of her work on her audience.
