S2 E11 Sports Romance for the Win

Sports romance books are all the rage in the book world. This week we chat about sports romance books–what’s popular, what does the “clean” market offer, and where we think this trend will continue.

We analyze why women are drawn to these stories and which tropes we love. We even take a stab at the next trends we think will occur.

Here are some favorites:

Romancing the Grump by Jenny Proctor
Just Don’t Fall by Emma St. Clair

Rookie Season by Katie Bailey & Leah Brunner

My Phony Valentine by Courtney Walsh

After She Falls by Carmen Schober
