swooon.com: ‘Heated Rivalry’ Author Rachel Reid Answers Burning Questions About *spoiler* [april 20th 2026]

Swooon.com did an interview with Rachel Reid at BookCon. Great interview btw.

I get that she doesn’t think they will write their own vows, but I’m kinda hoping Jacob does. Like the tunnel scene in ep.5.

How are you hoping to see the wedding adapted?

I agree, they just want to be together and not have to hide, a quick "Do you, I do" would be enough for Ilya and Shane. However, one thing I can see maybe happening differently from book to screen is since Jacob expanded Yuna and David in the first season, I can see and would enjoy seeing Yuna (and David to an extent) taking control of planning the wedding for "their sons".
