What Sport Romance Books Have Movie Or TV Series Deals?

Sports romance books with movie or TV deals are like finding hidden treasure. My personal obsession is 'The Deal' by Elle Kennedy—it’s got hockey, hate-to-love vibes, and so much chemistry. There’s been chatter about a TV adaptation, and I’m already casting it in my head. Another standout is 'The Wall of Winnipeg and Me' by Mariana Zapata. It’s slow, intense, and totally worth the wait—just like a good adaptation would be.

Then there’s 'The Hook Up' by Kristen Callihan, a football romance that’s equal parts sweet and steamy. It’s been optioned, but who knows when we’ll see it. 'Ride' by Harper Dallas is another one I’d kill to see on screen—motorcycle racing with a side of forbidden romance? Yes, please. And let’s not forget 'The Perfect Play' by Jaci Burton, which has all the drama and passion of a primetime series. These books are begging to be filmed, and I’m here for every second of it.

Sports romance is one of those genres that just *gets* the adrenaline pumping—both from the competition and the love stories. And when they get adapted into movies or TV? Even better. Take 'The Hating Game' by Sally Thorne—it’s more office romance, but the lead guy is a former athlete, and the movie adaptation was pure fun. Then there’s 'the bromance book club' by Lyssa Kay Adams, where a baseball player tries to win back his wife using romance novels. It’s hilarious and heartfelt, and there’s talk of a TV series in the works.

For something grittier, 'Pucked' by Helena Hunting is a wild, steamy hockey romance that fans have been clamoring to see on screen. And let’s not forget 'The Perfect Play' by Jaci Burton—football, family, and fiery romance, all wrapped into one. Rumor has it Netflix might be eyeing it. Even 'kulti' by Mariana Zapata, about a soccer player and her childhood idol, has that slow, delicious burn that would translate so well to film. I could go on forever, but these are the ones that really stand out for their potential (or confirmed) adaptations.

I absolutely love diving into sports romance books, especially those that get adapted into movies or TV shows. One of my all-time favorites is 'The Wall of Winnipeg and Me' by Mariana Zapata, which has this slow-burn romance between a football player and his assistant. The chemistry is just *chef's kiss*. Another great one is 'The Deal' by Elle Kennedy, a college hockey romance with so much banter and tension. It’s been rumored to get a TV adaptation, which I’m totally here for. 'Ride' by Harper Dallas is another gem—motorcycle racing meets romance, and it’s got such a gritty, intense vibe. I heard whispers about it being optioned, but nothing confirmed yet. If you’re into baseball, 'the sweetest oblivion' by Danielle Lori has that mafia-meets-sports angle, and fans are begging for a screen adaptation. These books are just *that* good.
