Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
On the tennis courts and in the sheets, Nate and Olivia are perfect. Elsewhere, not so much. Can they really make a go of it?
Sometimes, I have issues will college aged characters, mostly cos I'm way older than that. These two though, are perfect for each other and I loved them both!
Olivia is working hard to make ends meet: Nate doesn't have to. Olivia tars Nate with the same brush she uses for all entitled men, and steers clear. But something changes as they get to know each other properly. Olivia is big enough to admit she might have been a teeny bit wrong about Nate.
But when Olivia gets the shock of a person entering her life she never knew, things spiral out of control for Olivia. She will not become like her mother. Nate wants to help, but only makes things worse.
I loved how these two bantered off each other. There is a good deal of passion between them, and it burns bright and hot, right through the book. Well, dims a little but given what happens, hardly surprising.
I loved that Olivia made Nate think about his own family situation and that there are ways out of it, if he just takes that step.
Its steamy and smexy, but emotional and a bit dark in places, when Olivia explains about her tattoo.
First I've read of this author, AND the first tennis book! I will admit, while both Olivia and Nate play tennis here, the actual playing of tennis is not described in any great detail and I liked that. As the least sporty person on the planet, I appreciated that. But I'd like to read more by this author, I like how she spins and tells her tales.

As a big college sports romance fan, I’ve read a lot of hockey/football novels, but this is the first one where the athletes are tennis players - and who’d have thought tennis players had skills off the court, too?
I’d class this as a reverse grumpy sunshine where the guy falls first (swoon). The story follows Olivia and Nate, as they navigate a frenemies to lovers relationship whilst battling their own internal issues.
There were a couple of moment in this book that had me gasping out loud from shock and some from the steam occurring.
Overall this was a really fun college sports romance with plenty of steam and swoon worthy romance.
Thank you NetGalley and Victory Editing for the ARC.

March 11, 2023If you enjoy enemies to lovers, grumpy-sunshine, or he-falls-first tropes, this is the story for you! If you're a sucker for witty banter, steamy love scenes, and strong heroines, this is the story for you! If you enjoy a billionaire romance, sports romance, tennis, or any HEA books...this is the story for you!

Olivia and Nate had back and forth volleys both on and off the court. I was not sure how the talented author would end this one . Totally enjoyed the read.
