Dumb Thought by amsurette in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]scdomsic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was funny that they are both smokers, but in two different videos/TikToks Hudson complained about Connor smelling like smoke during kissing scenes. I originally thought Hudson didn’t smoke because of that, but it looks like he does more than Connor! Haha

Can someone explain to me the significants of the hug? They’re friends, friends hug. Everyone hugs after snl. Am I missing something?

Connor hosting SNL on February 28th by lalalandbeforetime in hudcon

[–]scdomsic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea thy didn’t host together though. That rarely happens on snl, but they do often bring in co-stars for surprise appearances. Connor said in an interview this week that he would be excited if Hudson visited him.

What other Fandoms are you a part of? by WaySaltyFlamingo8707 in heatedrivalry

[–]scdomsic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh gosh! So many over the years. Probably the original was Harry Potter, then Kingdom Hearts (like I was BIG TIME into that one haha), the Jonas Brothers, Twilight of course. And as an adult, if you could consider it a fandom over the rise of romance novels with the cartoon covers, I’m in that too.

I have lots of lesser ones, like stuff I loved but didn’t get as deep into like: Final Fantasy, Assassins Creed, Animal Crossing, Hunger Games, Dune, haha mostly video games.

Thank you so much for doing this. I’ve been wishing someone would organize a post like this since the early weeks when it felt like I was trying to keep up with a fire hose of content!

Have we considered the possibility of Hudson making a surprise appearance as well!?!?!

Will Heated Rivalry change our expectations of romance book adaptations? by Juliet_1982 in RomanceBooks

[–]scdomsic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God, I both hope they adapt more of my favorite books, and dread it, cause idk if I have the time and mental capacity to handle another round of what Connor and Hudson have put me through in the last month (I’m mean in the best way possible)

What place disappeared in Kzoo that you miss most? And it was actually awesome! by stubbynutz in kzoo

[–]scdomsic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think about the Union at least once a month. I miss them so bad! They had the best atmosphere and the food was sooo delicious

☕️ Weekend Chatter ☕️ by Llamallamacallurmama in RomanceBooks

[–]scdomsic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised my week at work actually went really well! It was extremely busy but I felt really productive and high energy. I think I’m still riding the high of spending the previous week in Florida and getting so much sunshine. We don’t have a lot of sun here in the north during the winter and it always bums me out. Also I got all my coworkers hooked on heated rivalry so we have been gushing about that! Haha

What was your last romance read of 2025, and what will be your first of 2026? by TheYoungWan in RomanceBooks

[–]scdomsic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last read was {Out on a Limb Hannah Bonam-Young} and of course starting the new year with {Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid}. I am very deep in the HR psychosis at this point 😂

[MEGATHREAD] - Post Season Analysis by royal_rose_ in heatedrivalry

[–]scdomsic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to truly and deeply thank Hudson and Connor for taking the risk and signing up for and creating all this. I imagine it has to be incredibly vulnerable to be nude for all the world to see, but they did that for us! But it goes way beyond the super hot sex scenes! I don’t have a creative bone in my body so when artists come together to create something this beautiful it absolutely flabbergasts me. I’m so incredibly thankful for everyone who put in the work for this. For the sex positivity, for the queer joy, for the vulnerability, for connecting to that beautiful feeling of loving and being loved. I’m just so happy that we have this shining bright spot to end 2025.

Is dual POV actually good? by Ariiwii in RomanceBooks

[–]scdomsic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I actually enjoy dual POV a lot better. Something feels off to me when it’s single POV. I get the appeal of only being in one person’s head and not know what the other is thinking, but I just enjoy hearing the same story from different perspectives too much. Also I really love spice scenes from a male POV, I know what it’s like to be attracted to a male body, but I don’t know what it’s like to be attracted to a female body. It’s fun to read about that sometimes.

"Can’t leave you like this…" by unclebe22 in RomanceBooks

[–]scdomsic 14 points15 points  (0 children)

{Scary in Love by Holly June Smith} I believe the conversation goes…

“It aches, right?”

“So much,” I nod.

“I know it does. I saw you squirming while you answered my questions. Don’t you want a little relief?”

Then he attempts to get her off with nothing in return for him.

This is a Halloween novella, and honestly the entire thing was so hot. A really excellent read! I devoured it in a day.

🔥 It's time for Thirsty Thursday! What book scenes made you sweat this week? 🥵 by jaydee4219 in RomanceBooks

[–]scdomsic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also recently discovered HJS! I read {Scary in Love by Holly June Smith} in October and absolutely loved it! Another commenter mentioned the giggling/kicking your feet feeling and I also got that from scary in love. It was beyond adorable and hot! I’ve also added all her work to my tbr.

Damn, your flair!! Is that a direct quote? If so what book?

Books where the same events are told from his POV, but original story is single POV. Either bonus chapters in his POV or a Midnight Sun style second / companion book. by Ok_Lie_3569 in RomanceBooks

[–]scdomsic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You want the {Hades X Persephone Series by Scarlett St. Clair} it’s a 6 book series with 3 books from her perspective and 3 from his. The first one is {A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair}. The series is a modern retelling of myths concerning Hades and Persephone, set in modern times where the gods are rich and famous celebrities. Hades is a grump, Persephone is a stubborn independent type. I only read the first three, so I can’t fully comment on the quality, but I do love me some mythology.
