Hard to imagine getting tired of this one—the book is fantastic. The show feels like someone shook the pages and Shane and Ilya just fell out, complete with a très magnifique soundtrack (as Shane might say). I mean, when was the last time you even thought about t.A.T.u.? Still, a change can be a nice palate cleanser. While Rachel Reid’s Game Changer series is a great place to start (make sure you’ve read The Long Game), let’s be honest, if you’re here, it’s probably because this is not enough. Below are some steamy, mostly queer sports romances to keep the momentum going. 

Botanical horror is a subgenre of horror that incorporates plants, fungi, or other elements of nature as key sources of fear, danger, or supernatural occurrences. These stories often explore themes of nature reclaiming its power, human hubris in manipulating ecosystems, and the eerie intelligence of plant life. Dare to explore the dark side of nature?
