Non Hockey Sports Romance
I love hockey romances as much as the next person but sometimes you want another sport to take center stage. So here is a collection of sports romance books where one (or all of them) is playing a sport that isn't hockey.
Feel free to leave any recomendations for the list.
(Contains both YA and Adult romance)

It's funny to me how most of them still feature the cartoon-esque covers thar has defined hockey romances😭. I shall pick a snowboarding romance and be on my way, thank you very much👨
I love the cartoon covers! Also, they are not restricted to sports romances. Haley Cass, Ashley Herring Blake, Clare Ashton's Oxford series, among many others, all have them. And I just love looking at the characters!
i would add:
- the right move (basketball)
- caught up (baseball)
- play along (baseball)
Will do thanks for the recs
Would you consider mountaineering a sport?
I had to google it, but I'd say it's a sport
