    Playing the Field Was Cute… But We Needed More Spice 🌶️⚽ | Dirty Pour Chapter 5

    This week on Dirty Pour, Bri and Allison tackle Playing the Field by Stacy Travis, a soccer romance featuring forced proximity, brother's best friend, workplace romance, and one very respectful book boyfriend. While the story delivers lovable characters, sweet moments, and an easy summer read, the hosts admit they were left wanting a little more heat. They break down Hunter and Gracie's relationship, discuss how the book handles mental health, and explain why this romance is perfect for readers looking for something light instead of intensely spicy. The conversation also takes plenty of detours—from World Cup fever and reading slumps to Bri's move into a new podcast studio and Allison's absolutely unhinged plan to find Bri a boyfriend using custom business cards and a spreadsheet. If you're looking for a wholesome sports romance, a few laughs, and plenty of behind-the-scenes Dirty Pour chaos, this episode has you covered.
