The steamy sports romance has taken over pop culture, but if you've already watched Season 1, fear not&mdash;these selects will thrill and entertain all the same.

To be sure, this season has had its fair share of ultra-viral media moments, from the final season of&nbsp;Stranger Things&nbsp;to&nbsp;Marty Supreme,&nbsp;but one show that's taken the Internet by storm is the adaptation of Rachel Reid's beloved novel,&nbsp;Heated Rivalry. Starring Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, the show follows a pair of hockey captains as they navigate fame, athletics, and their turbulent enemies-to-lovers relationship.&nbsp;
Between the show's compelling storyline and the steamy romantic moments, it's quickly become a pop culture sensation. Luckily for fans, a second season is already on the horizon, and will likely release within the next year. However, in the meantime, if you're seeking a book, movie, or TV show to fill the void, discover all of these selects to enjoy before&nbsp;Heated Rivalry&nbsp;Season 2.&nbsp;

Naturally, if you're looking to pick up where Season 1 of&nbsp;Heated Rivalry&nbsp;left off, the written sequel is the best place to start&mdash;especially if you can't get enough of Shane and Ilya.&nbsp;

Whether you opt for the original book or the film adaptation,&nbsp;Red, White, and Royal Blue&nbsp;offers a similarly secret, passionate romance story to&nbsp;Heated Rivalry&mdash;just trade hockey pucks for politics, plus a few plot details.

While&nbsp;Heated Rivalry&nbsp;is a fairly steamy read&mdash;and watch&mdash;Young Royals&nbsp;brings a hint of classic teen drama to the mix, making for a thoroughly entertaining watch.&nbsp;
