"Heated Rivalry, based on Rachel Reid's Game Changers novel series, has taken over the internet in recent weeks. The show charts the rivalry between two professional hockey players, Canadian Shane Hollander ( Hudson Williams) and Russian Ilya Rozanov ( Connor Storrie). Over the years of their competitive rivalry, they engage in a passionate but secret romance. Following the show's success, many are now hyping up an upcoming sapphic sports romance: Cleat Cute."
"The book follows 26-year-old footy player Grace Henderson, who has been the star of the US Women's National Team since she was 16. However, when an injury puts her on the bench, she is replaced by smiley rookie Phoebe Matthews. Phoebe is Grace's opposite, a jokester who lights up the pitch. The pair have a fierce rivalry, and the last thing either expects is to go from enemies to lovers. With the World Cup approaching, the two women battle for a place on the pitch."
Heated Rivalry's recent popularity has increased interest in a sapphic sports-romance adaptation titled Cleat Cute. Cleat Cute adapts Meryl Wilsner's 2023 novel and centers on 26-year-old Grace Henderson, a US Women's National Team star sidelined by injury and replaced by rookie Phoebe Matthews. Grace and Phoebe embody opposing personalities — seasoned, intense Grace and jokester Phoebe — whose fierce rivalry morphs into a romantic relationship as the World Cup approaches. The story contains explicit sex scenes that many readers praised for authenticity. Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe, via A Touch More and Future Shack, are developing the project with no network attached yet.
