When Flora Hendrix rents her Wimbledon flat for the month during the open, she doesn't expect to find her tenant is the irascible Irish tennis star Kieran O’Sullivan AND that her Lake District getaway had a roof collapse so she's stuck sleeping on her own couch.

I loved the chemistry between Flora and Kieran. They just sparkled and complemented each other like strawberries and cream. Flora won't take Kieran's diva crap, while Kieran fiercely defends her against her gaslighting and cheating ex boyfriend, all while supporting her art. I also liked the backstory with both character which was nicely woven in, like Flora's lack of confidence from being undermined by her ex, and Kieran dealing with grief from his tennis star brother's death and his demanding tennis dad.

I stayed up 'til 3am reading Match Point as I just couldn't put it down. It was well paced and plotted. If I had any quibbles it would be the epilogue reveal as I think it over egged the pudding for me (but this is just me and so minor). Overall this was a sweet and sassy summer romance that is my idea of perfect escapist fiction.

Katherine Reilly serves a funny and sweet romance between a grumpy tennis player and lost artist in Match Point.

Things have gone from bad to worse for Flora, from being cheated on to having the roof collapse on her holiday, she now has to share her one bed flat with the grumpiest player in tennis.

I’m here for all the new sports romances popping up recently and who’d have thought tennis could be sexy? A fun read to enjoy with your strawberries and cream this summer.

Thank you NetGalley and Aria and Aries for the ARC.
