Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was my first time reading a Heidi Stephen’s novel, and I’m sure it won’t be my last. Game, Set, Match is a perfect sizzling summer romance guaranteed to make you laugh.

I'm not a big romance fan generally, but sometimes one's just in the mood for a quality romcom. I know Heidi Stephens from the Guardian, and I liked the tennis element, so this looked worth a try.

Hannah has split up with her husband of fourteen years, feeling mainly relief, and takes time out to head off to Spain on a tennis holiday with a new group of friends. (Hannah, unlike me, is a pretty red-hot tennis player.) Rob, one of the summer coaches with a history as a bit of a player, and not just of tennis, has sworn off relationships for the time being, but there's a definite spark between them...

So far so not that original, but this was a really fun read, and thankfully light on those plot-device-misunderstandings which could so easily be cleared up if people would only communicate with each other. Hannah and Rob manage to communicate like adults, for the most part, which is refreshing, and every time I saw a plot-device-misunderstanding looming, it was averted.

There's a road trip through Spain, a homeless dog, some family drama and lots of tennis. Oh, and a reverse airport dash. I liked the main characters, and the others were fun too, especially the group of women friends - Jess, Trish and Gaynor.

Light, refreshing and very enjoyable. Thanks for the opportunity to read and review an advance copy!

This looks like such a cute read! I was instantly drawn in by the cover. I can’t wait to read about Hannah. I love the fact she’s about to find love with whom she least
expects especially after funding out her husband is cheating on her, I will definitely be sharing a full review and thoughts soon, but this seems like a great read to get lost in especially with the beautiful sunny weather upon us.
