Lizzie Bennington is a rising tennis star who lost her first ever title in a doubles match in a Boca Raton tournament due to an unprofessional call to stop play complaining of leg cramps and getting a massage on court by her opponent, Jack Archer. Unwillingly she is distracted and unable to hide her admiration for his thighs, which Jack notices.

Jack has been playing since the age of nineteen, but has not yet reached the potential he showed in early days. He is more interested in chasing women and playing extreme sports then improving his game play. Now this spirited beauty has caught his eye and the game begins.

Jack's persistence angers Lizzie despite her own attraction. She knows he is a playboy, his unsportsmanlike conduct lost her her first title and he is Christina Richter's partner on and off court. Finally giving in to Jack and their attraction, many hurdles including Christina and number one men's tennis star, Rodolfo Salazar, threaten their relationship but even so, no one stands more in their way then themselves. Time will tell if they are able to overcome the obstacles and find love.

How many of you have watched the movie Wimbledon? If you enjoyed it, you will definitely enjoy this book. While reading this, I kept on finding loads of similarities between this and the movie's story. Since I saw the movie a long time ago, I did not exactly remember everything, just the lead lady's name so I went searching online if the book was based on the movie, vice versa or inspired by it. In the end I am assuming, the author was inspired. The book and movie are vastly different except for some similarities.

The characters in this story are all highly entertaining whether the main lead or supporting characters. Jack is a fun person. I loved how he seemed to grow and mature in the book as I read on. Lizzie on the other hand began as a self- assured lady who knew what she wanted to a confused woman regarding her feelings. It felt towards the end, the author was more focused on showing us Jack's feelings and thoughts clearly and Lizzie just faded away. I honestly felt more teary and sad for Jack than for Lizzie.

The pace of the story is fast and fun, you will not get bored even during the game. What left me a little boggled were the fast-paced characters interactions apart from Jack and Lizzie. Some of their acceptance and actions seemed a little too quick and confusing as to why they said or did what they did. Overall, the start of the book pulled me in as it showed lot of promise and potential. Though it went a little downward towards the end, it is still a highly entertaining read. While the ending had everything; suspense, humor, spotlight, show of love something still felt missing.

I felt Ms. Starling could have added a small epilogue to make it definitive. Maybe there is a sequel on the way. I would love to read some more in-depth thoughts and feelings about all the characters; secondary and lead.
