About this audiobook
Viva Jones was great once. A top ten tennis player with a grand slam trophy to her name, she had the world at her feet. Then an overzealous lineswoman's bad call knocked her out of the U.S. Open, and a persistent injury crushed her career. While battling to return to the game she loves, a chance meeting with the lineswoman, Gabriela, forces Viva to rethink the past . . . and the present.
Away from the court, Gabriela is sexy, athletic, and lives for her career as an umpire. She seems to be falling for Viva as hard and fast as Viva is for her. There's just one problem: players and officials can't date.
Contains mature themes.

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a well-written book with likable characters and a heartwarming love story. The focus on the characters' careers adds to the excitement, even for non-tennis fans. While some felt the romance developed too quickly, overall, the book is entertaining and has surprises. The narration is also praised. Highly recommended for tennis fans and those looking for a thrilling romance.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I’m not a tennis fan, but actually keeps you entertained.
Not sure I reallllly liked as I couldn’t listen twice. One time was enough.
But it does have it’s thrillers related to the “prohibited” romance. But focus a lot on a player that “doesn’t win anymore”. So in relation to sports, it keeps you down a bit.
In relation to the romance it has it’s surprises. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a book. I really really enjoyed it. It’s so well written with characters that are likeable but also human and make mistakes. The narration was great and the love story between the main characters was heart warming. The MCs careers feature massively in this book and I’ll admit I’m usually put off by too much focus being on careers rather than romance, but wow this author had me hanging on every game point, and line call. Highly recommend
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I’m a huge tennis fan and so thoroughly enjoyed this. However, I didn’t buy the quickness of the relationship becoming so strongly committed that Viva had to retire from doubles so soon.
I loved the narrator. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I was given this ARC by the publisher in exchange for an Honest Review.I've been playing tennis since I was about three, and so I was excited to read this. Unfortunately I didn't like some of it.It's about Viva and Gabriella. Viva is a professional tennis player and champion with a bit of a bum wrist. Gabriela is a Silver Badge Umpire on the tour (I didn't know that they travelled with the tour too, or alongside the tour). They meet when Gabriela's car goes on the fritz and Viva rescues her even though Viva believes Gabriela ruined her chances at a second US Open title.Since it's a romance they slowly fall for each other but there is the big problem of their two careers being in the way, and whose career is more important.I'll start with my main problem with the narrative. There was too much tension to begin with, and so the novel had nowhere to go but to very uncomfortable levels of tension (and I didn't personally think it was delightfully uncomfortable places).I will say that I liked the tennis parts. They made total sense and sucked me into the book in those scenes in a way that the romance mostly did not.
