"I was so self-conscious about people reading what I wrote at all, but especially people that I knew reading what I wrote. I mean, I guess part of that is just the nature of what I write.

"Before the end of 2025, the Game Changers series six books in total had sold more than 650,000 copies, and Reid's initial embarrassment had turned into pride. It did take a while, but I've become more and more comfortable over the years talking about what I write. I guess I've had more and more people tell me that they like it. It makes it easier, of course."
"As if queer erotic fiction weren't already a niche genre, Reid's books belong to a subgenre known as hockey smut, focused exclusively on intimate relationships between hockey players. Even so, she has managed to turn her work into a mass phenomenon, one that gained decisive momentum with the series based on the plot of her second book, Heated Rivalry (2019). It premiered in Canada on November 28 and HBO quickly acquired the rights to air it in the United States, Australia, and Latin America."
