Thank you so much to Harper Audio for the complimentary audio!
I am so proud of my fellow bookstagrammer turned author Meg Jones becoming a traditional publish author!! If you do not follow her, go do it!
I really enjoyed her first book Invisible String and when I heard she was pivoting to not only a sports romance but a tennis romance - sign me up! I love that she did not do the expected hockey or baseball romance which trust me I love them but we don't see this sport that often.
This book is told from dual POV - Scottie Sinclair & Nico Kotas. Scottie had gone through a lot over the course of this book. She starts off the book losing her career, her reputation, her relationship with her father (who is a tennis legend) but for some reason her former coach knows she isn't done. Then you have Nico who is recovering from an injury and nearing the end of his career. They are forced to work together as double partners in Wimbledon so a lot of the book takes place during their training time.
I love the relationship between Scottie and Nico. As I mentioned they were forced to spend a lot time together and it was rough in the beginning but overtime as it does, the layers started to peel. I love their little game of her taking his hat until he eventually just gave up fighting her on it. I loveee towards the end when he began to become very protective of Scottie and truly had no idea what she went through on a daily basis with the media. I am glad she was able to open up to him about what happened to her 2 years ago and why her relationship with her dad is estranged.
If you know anything about Meg's writing and her page (*cough* dicktionary*cough*), she can bring the spice! The tension between these two and how the force proximity push them together. It was just all so good! *chef's kiss*
The book is narrated by Mary Jane Wells and Patrick Zeller. Both narrators are new to me and I will admit it did take me a minute to get used to their voices. There was nothing wrong with their voices but to me they came off older than what the ages of the characters were. But once I got over that, it was breeze and I just was invested in their dynamic during their POV while listening.
I did some digging after I finished and saw that we are getting 2 more books in this universe. I am HIGHLY interested in how Dylan's book will be. She was not painted in a good light in this book and I was angry on Scottie's behalf so I'm very anxious to see how Jones will make me like her because I know she will - ha!
If you are looking for your next sports romance that is enemies to lovers with spice & even some mean girl energy - give this one a read!
PS - Meg creates playlists for her books and they are always fantastic!!! And each chapter is a song title.
