If you’re not over the Heated Rivalry hype and are craving more queer sports romances, check out Cat Disabato’s new book Rooting Interest. This romance joins the relatively small number of professional sports romances and is set during the WNBA’s All-Star Weekend. It features a sports journalist who was pulled off her usual NFL beat to cover women’s basketball (and considers it a hit to her career), and the star player whose interview sets their dynamic off on a rocky start, and sounds like exactly the kind of HEA queer story we need right now.
I’ll be honest, I’m a little newer to the romance genre — I tend to read more horror and fantasy — but lately I’ve discovered I occasionally do like a little sapphic treat now and then, and this sounds like exactly the kind of book I would enjoy. Two women who are focused on their careers who find that their attraction to each other is very inconvenient but also undeniable? Sign me up. Also not to deep cut too hard, but all basketball romances will forever remind me of my favorite Supergirl fanfic (specifically Supercorp), Stay the Night by lynnearlington, so I’m already primed to enjoy this one.
Rooting Interest is published by 831 Stories and is available on bookshop.org and probably also your local queer bookstore.
