BIPOC Sports Romance Books for Fans of Heated Rivalry 🏒

While creating my "What to Read After Watching Heated Rivalry" guide, I was torn between creating an all-inclusive guide, a queer guide, and a BIPOC guide (especially after seeing so many "What to Read After Watching Heated Rivalry" guides that were focused solely on mm romances). I decided to split the guide into two posts, to ensure they were more focused. Despite that, nearly EVERY comment I received regarding my first Heated Rivalry book guide (pretty much exclusively on TikTok, because my Booklr bats are MUCH better behaved) asked "why isn't this book included" (though hardly in such polite terms). 🏒

Please remember that there's a human being creating these guides; a human who makes mistakes, is juggling a stressful life, and is constantly trying yet failing to make everyone happy. I love seeing people shout-out additional books, because I physically CAN'T include every book in every guide (and I used to include 100+ books per post and got burnt out in the process). Please be patient, kind, and respectful to all bookish content creators who are trying to help you discover your next five-star read. 🏒

With that being said, here are a few BIPOC sports romance books for fans of Heated Rivalry. They're not all focused on ice sports (which was the primary purpose of yesterday's guide while highlighting sapphic books many people were neglecting). I highlighted the sports romance books that were queer, in case that's your main interest. Happy reading! 🏒
