Now onto the show…
This week on First Dates and Soulmates, Nikki and Meg unpack “Hothead” by Stella Rhys—a spicy sports romance that kicks off with a bar fight, a public meltdown, and a viral paparazzi photo that leads to fake dating.
They talk about:
* When fake dating is survival, not strategy
* How power dynamics shift when one character is emotionally volatile
* Why we need more groveling from alpha heroes
* The rare joy of watching someone finally snap on video
Books & Media We Mention
* Hothead by Stella Rhys
* Heartless by Elsie Silver
* Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez
* Not That series by Isabel Murray (Not That Complicated, Not That Impossible, Not That Ridiculous)
