If You Loved Off Campus, Read These Sports Romance Books Next...

In a rut after finishing season one of Off Campus? Same! So, we've curated our list for what we think you should read next AND the books we have our eyes on for our own TBRs. Luckily, there are so many amazing sports romance series and standalones out there, there's no reason we can't help you find your next binge-worthy obsession.

Heated Rivalry series by Rachel Reid

If for some reason you've yet to pick up this series, consider this your sign to do so. Not only is the main plotline between rival hockey players who fall in love absolutely addicting, but there are four other interconnected standalones that introduce incredible new relationships as well! Rachel is keeping us fed!

Deep End by Ali Hazelwood

A collegiate diver dealing with a possible career-ending injury and a star Olympic swimmer collide, sparking a passion between them they can't ignore. College relationships, healing, and humor—we can't recommend this standalone enough!

Lights Out series by Simone Soltani

One of our favorites at BWB! Lights Out is a series of interconnected standalones set around Formula 1 racing. Career pressures, tensions between rivals, and forbidden romances make for high stakes on and off the track.

Gods of the Game series by Ana Huang

A sports romance series following soccer players in the English Premier League. Emotions are high for these players while they explore loyalty, redemption, and love on and off the field. An absolute must-add to your TBR.

The Undone series by Peyton Corinne

The team at Bad Women Books has such a soft spot for this series. Much like Off Campus, it follows hockey players in college trying to navigate their sport, their growing romantic feelings, and their mental health. Of the books on this list, this series is absolutely the one guaranteed to cure the slump Off Campus has put you in!

Night Shift by Annie Crown

An easy breezy, low stakes romance between a librarian and basketball player. Opposites attract in this standalone set in college and just like Garrett and Hannah, this couple grows closer through their tutoring lessons 👀

The Bishop Brothers by Nalini Singh

There truly is no bad book written by Nalini, but any of her books featuring a Bishop brother is guaranteed to be HOT HOT HOT! There's just something about an obsessed rugby guy 😋 and we love to see the disability rep in Kiss Hard—the FMC is a double-amputee Paralympic athlete!

Off the Ice series by Bal Khabra

Another college hockey series for you hockey-obsessed girlies! Bal does an incredible job of introducing heartwarming love stories and characters you can't help but root for. If you love strong women and banter between characters, this series is for you!

Sports Romance standalones by Mariana Zapata

We had to include Mariana's sports romance standalones and we just couldn't choose which one to feature! These books are truly ones you will not be able to put down. They manage to feel fresh and new in a sea of sports romances and any one would be an enjoyable weekend read :)

The Winged Game by Sophie Kim

You know we had to include a fantasy romance rec! LOVE a romantasy featuring sports, it's so rare in the genre! Rival athletes team up to save their winged beasts while balancing a fake relationship to boost their team's image.

Big Shots series by Tessa Bailey

What's special about this sport's romance series is while they are interconnected standalones, we're introduced to new sports throughout which keeps each story fresh. Tessa never fails to write addicting romances so this one needs to be on your radar!

HOOPS series by Kennedy Ryan

Last, but certainly not least, what happens when you blend sexy men, the NBA, drama, and strong women? A romance series that will have you hooked from the jump. This series is definitely on the mature side of the spectrum and the topics reflect that so make sure you check your triggers before reading.
