Off Camera: A Rivals-to-Lovers Story with Secret Online Trolling

Off Camera totally won me over—even more than Maven & Dallas's story! The hidden identity twist? Chef’s kiss. It was ridiculously sweet and had me hooked from start to finish. Oh, and Reid? Absolutely new book boyfriend material. No questions.

So, Reid and Avery first meet at a bar after Avery’s date takes a nosedive. Sparks fly right away, but plot twist—they both have jobs managing social media for their rival sports teams. Awkward! They cross paths again at Maven and Dallas’s wedding (because, of course!), which leads to a one-night stand.

Naturally, that escalates into a FWB situation. Here’s the kicker: while they’re falling for each other in real life, their online alter-egos are total enemies, roasting each other left and right through their team accounts. They keep it anonymous to keep the banter fun, but all the secrets come crashing down at a sports conference. Cue the drama. For a minute, it’s back to hating each other, but come on—they can’t stay away for long.

Let’s talk about the jealousy. Perfection. Also, it’s refreshing how secure these guys are about their ladies. The spice? 🔥 Just enough to keep things extra interesting. Oh, and the pranks—they were priceless.
