Romance Sports

The Outer Banks is home to a famous tennis training facility.

It’s the home of Penny Harrison, a rising tennis star. Fresh off winning a tournament, she’ll be training hard for the next few weeks before the French Open. Her coach brings in Alex, a male tennis star attempting a comeback of his own. Penny and Alex are supposed to help each other’s game, but personal history between the two of them could prevent them from achieving their goals.

Indy watches Penny win and wonders if it is time to get back into tennis. Before her mother died, she was on track to become a winner. One phone call later, she quits college and packs her bags for the Outer Banks. The timing looks suspicious to the other girls, as it’s just before a club tournament. Indy’s ranked high enough to make many girls angry and jealous. Indy’s rough around the edges, but her game is powerful.

Jasmin’s parents are tennis royalty. She’s played tennis for as long as she can remember. She hopes to live up to their expectations. She’s good, but lately she wonders if she has what it takes to win. With Indy turning heads, Jasmine worries she’ll get left behind.

With a tournament coming up, these athletes don’t have time for much besides training and sleeping.

GAME, SET, MATCH is the first book in a duology set that features three protagonists. This New Adult romance showcases all the drama: sports, friendship, and romance. If you like sports romances, you won’t want to miss this one. The book ends, leaving readers hungry for more; luckily, the second book arrives in June.

SUMMARY

She’s a tennis superstar on the rise. He’s the bad boy champ who broke her heart. When they meet on the court, their competition is hot—but their chemistry is even hotter.

All of Penny Harrison’s hard work is finally paying off. At 21 years old, she’s a tennis icon in-the-making, with massive sponsorship deals and legendary status on the horizon, if she can just nail the upcoming Grand Slam in Paris. Until then, there’s no room for mistakes.
 
When she returns to the prestigious Outer Banks Tennis Club to train, though, she comes face to face with the biggest mistake she ever made: Alex Russell. With piercing blue eyes and irresistible charm, the bad boy tennis star is the only guy who ever broke Penny’s heart.
 
To keep her head in the game—and her mind off Alex—Penny leans on two of the club’s other rising stars. Jasmine Randazzo and Indiana Gaffney are both balancing exploding careers with their own off-the-court romances, and their drama might be enough to keep Penny distracted.
 
But as days tick down to Paris, Penny seems to always find herself across the court from Alex. She knows that winning it all means laser focus…so why can’t Penny stay away from the one guy who ruins everything?
 
Perfect for fans of Chloe Walsh and Bal Khabra, this juicy and action-filled tennis rom com through the eyes of three fierce competitors is a match you won’t want to look away from.
