This book was really well written and kept me wanting more every time I had to pause it. I really enjoyed the way the author touched on very important topics but also kept some of the details vague enough to avoid specific triggers. (Check TW's before reading/listening!) I was so hooked on this book that is full of tropes such as:
-Enemies to lovers
-Sports romance (I have yet to read a Tennis romance, most are hockey so this was a welcomed change!)
-Slow burn
-Forced proximity
-No 3rd act break up

I loved how Nico helped Scottie with her trauma through love and helped her to feel worthy of love and talked her into coming back to the Tennis world after her ban. Her ban was not her fault and in the interest of not causing more drama, she accepted the punishment that should not have been hers to endure. The banter and discussion of intense topics were both done perfectly! The way Nico is so soft under his tough guy persona for Scottie is so heartwarming and endearing I wanted more (even after hearing approximately 11 and a half hours of their love story unfolding).
The back and forth chapters and the delivery from the narrators was perfect and I loved Mary Jane Well's accent being paired with Patrick Zeller's voice. I loved the dual POV (my favorite types of books and audiobooks) and look forward to finding more books with each of these voice actors in the future!

Over all I really enjoyed this book and was not fully sure what to expect when I started it, but if you are a fan of sport romances, enemies to lovers and a book boyfriend who will do anything it takes to protect his girl, this one is for you!

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Audio for the opportunity to listen to this book for free in exchange for my honest review! All opinions are my own.

An absolutely stunning story that was narrator’s in such a beautiful way I don’t think I could have loved this story even more but I have. Matt and Patrick took both the rolls of Scottie and Nico with such love and care that I felt like I was in the wrong with the both of these. They took an already masterfully crafted story and added more to it. Scottie’s and Nico’s story is transformed into a way I felt I was watching a movie as they spoke it into my ear. From the banter filled scenes that had me unable to stop from laughing out loud. The scenes when Scottie and Nico really dive more into themselves in their friendship I could ask for a more engaging and enjoyable audiobook to pass the time.

As an avid tennis player and romance reader, I found this to be SO fun and such a delight to read. Predictable, but so much fun getting there.

Thank you to NetGalley for this audiobook ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I had a really hard time understanding the male character in the book. His voice was so deep that if I didn’t have my volume all the way up it heard like whispers.

I don’t know what was sexier, the MMC being the FMC’s dad’s rival or the MMCs protectiveness towards the FMC. Also the sexiest age gap romance I have ever read. More tennis romance please.

Thanks so much HarperAudio and NetGalley for this audiobook - i genuinely loved it.

When it comes to romance in a novel I need for it to enhance the storyline- i need deeper characters and a plot that’s not just the two characters going at it like bunnies.

Thank you to the author for this. It starts with a long list of trigger warnings which is helpful. I personally like seeing a character grow from past trauma and Scotty Sinclair definitely did that. I loved the tennis matches, the excellent chemistry and tension of the characters- in short a good read.

As a person who has been obsessed with tennis her entire life, I had scoured the internet for a tennis romance book. So, I would like to personally thank Meg for feeding us this masterpiece of a book. I read this a few months ago adn when I saw the audiobook was out, I just had to apply for the ALC!

The story follows Scottie Sinclair, who recently discovered she was betrayed by her coach—her own father, a former professional tennis player. He had unknowingly given Scottie performance-enhancing drugs, and being betrayed by a parent is a unique kind of pain—like a knife to the heart. When the news broke and Scottie's name was dragged through the mud, she spiraled, becoming the ultimate party girl, losing herself in the European club scene. But two years later, she’s given a shot at redemption. To make her comeback, she needs the right doubles partner—enter Nico Kotas, her father’s former rival. Nico dominated the tennis world for nearly a decade before a knee injury took him out. Now, both Scottie and Nico need each other to return to the game they love.

I’m obsessed with enemies-to-lovers stories, and it’s been a hot minute since I’ve found one that hit the mark like this. Scottie was conditioned to despise Nico because of her father’s rivalry with him—but the heart wants what it wants. Their initial tension, compounded by brand endorsement photoshoots that fueled dating rumors, escalates into delicious banter, secret pining, and undeniable yearning. I AM OBSESSED!

I also loved the author’s writing style. This was an engaging, fast-paced, and fun read, and the little article clippings between chapters added a unique touch. The book sensitively addresses the issue of parental abuse, showing the complexity of Scottie’s experience being drugged by her father.

Meg Jones has quickly become one of my go-to authors. Whatever she writes, I’ll read—and most likely love. I am soooo excited for Oliver and Dylan's book!!! Highly recommend this to everyone!

This is a perfect fit for readers who crave a slow-burning romance with a healthy dose of humor, emotional depth, and a thrilling sports backdrop, particularly those who enjoy the enemies-to-lovers trope and are looking for a story that serves up a satisfying blend of competition, passion, and personal growth.

This was my first read by Meg Jones and I loved it! I listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed the narrators, Mary Jane Wells; Patrick Zeller, they did a fantastic job at bringing Scottie and Nico to life!

Don’t let this cute cover fool you, this book definitely has so much emotional baggage and some hot spice!

Thank you so much to Meg Jones and HarperAudio for the ALC!

I really enjoyed this book! There are very few stories centered around tennis. The banter here was fun and I really enjoyed the relationship between the two main characters. The situation with her father was glanced over a little at the end but it didn’t take away from the book.

I also really enjoyed the narrators voice for the MMC.

Overall this was a fun romance audio book!

I’ve been dying for another tennis book since loving Carrie Soto is Back. I felt that the premise of Scottie and Nico playing doubles together was a little odd but obviously necessary for the plot. I liked their connection and how the book addressed their personal traumas from being professional athletes. I felt like some parts of the book dragged on and there was not enough tennis for me. I felt like the beginning was just a little too much build up. I appreciated all the news and fun extra stuff included in between some chapters. I liked the narrators and the dual narrators I just wish the volume was a little more consistent as I had to change my volume a few times. Overall, I enjoyed the book and how everything resolved with the drama.

Thank you to Netgalley for giving me an audiobook ARC of this book.

This audiobook was such a good listen. I really enjoyed both narrators. I initially took the ARC because I've never read a tennis romance and was surprised how much I enjoyed it.

High quality tension + banter mixed with a high quality storyline will thrill me every. single. time. Admittedly, I know very little about tennis outside of playing Wii Sports as a kid, but I was *invested* in this story!

Also I was able to listen to the audio version, and wow, I loved the narrators!

Thank you to NetGalley + the author for my advance copy!

First I would like to thank NetGalley for this audio arc!

The story was great! I loved the different plots and rivalries going on throughout the book. I loved watching to slow progression from rivals to lovers!
The one thing I will say is it was a little drawn out in parts, but overall I enjoyed this book.

As for the narration, I really liked the female narrator. She did a great job at changing the emotion in her voice so you can tell when she was making a joke or something. She had a very pleasant voice. I struggle with the male narrator though. He has a very nice voice! Don’t get me wrong, but I struggled listening to him with headphones because of how deep his voice is. I know that sounds silly, but I would have to turn the volume all the way up for his chapters. Also, his British accent wasn’t that great when he was reading Stevie’s lines. But, honestly, that’s not on the narrator at all.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book to people looking for a vindicating story against an enemy and a good rivals to lovers plot!!

Thoroughly enjoyable! I have followed the author on social media for a few years and had a sense of their humor, and I was very curious about this book.

First off, LOVE Mary Jane Wells and Patrick Zeller’s narration. MJW in particular does such an amazing job bringing the story to life.

Also loved to see a fresh sports romance focused on tennis. In Clean Point, the sport really shines through. I loved all the moments of quiet shared intimacy and vulnerability between Scottie and Niko as they worked through the challenges of becoming mixed doubles teammates. That strong buildup of emotional connection between MCs added a great layer of tension that carried over into the second phase of the book - the competition. Will they, won’t they succumb to their attraction? Will Scottie get the revenge she’s seeking? How will the intensity of the press coverage impact them? Scottie is a great FMC. She’s dealing with a lifetime of tennis training from her self serving and manipulative tennis pro father, working to rebuild her career on her own terms, seeking her own happiness for once, and rebuilding a relationship with her mother. Niko? Oh man he was a GONER for Scottie. I love a MMC that’s steadfast in standing by his lady during the tough times in order to lift her up. He’s grumpy, sure. But he’s also trying to make his own tennis comeback as an older player whose body isn’t what it used to be. Jones takes their time to really build up a believable relationship between Scottie and Niko and ensures that they stay a United front through the main plot conflicts towards the end of the story.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and HarperAudio for the audiobook.

Reeling from a cheating scandal, star tennis player Scottie Sinclair spends the next two years partying across Europe and getting as far away as possible from the tennis world and her despicable father. With her doping ban nearing an end, she gets an unexpected offer: pair up with dear old dad’s biggest rival for the Wimbledon mixed doubles tournament for the ultimate revenge and career comeback.

Nico’s been sidelined by injury and is one step away from being out of tennis. He needs some media attention and some wins to become relevant again. But he has no interest in teaming up with a spoiled cheater like Scottie.

Loved it! I’m a huge tennis fan and sports romance fan, so this was a perfect combo for me! But even if you’re not a tennis fan, it’s such a fun roller coaster of a ride—love, revenge, competitive spirit, personality—you’ll find it all. Scottie has been suffering big time for two years and had an interesting (and sometimes frustrating) way of handling her father’s betrayal. Nico helps bring her out of it, and steps in as such an ally and protective force when he sees how people treat her. This book had so many beautiful moments and it was so worth it to see these enemies become the best of friends and lovers!

The dual point of view really brought the story and characters together, and the narrators really brought the characters and emotions to life.

This was my first time reading sports romance and I didn’t really have high hopes, now I’m eager to read more. I absolutely love the characters,especially Scottie and the way the author really conveys her voice in the writing. I thought the pacing was perfect and was very satisfied by how everything ended.

This was well-written, fast paced and kept me on the edge of my seat with the competition. If you’re a tennis fan this one is for you. Romance with a forced proximity trope as two tennis players currently not in the game get matched up to train for Wimbledon as doubles partners.

The author takes the time to point out some topics she covers that may be difficult for some readers- but I didn’t find anything particularly hard to read or offensive. She also specifies which chapters have some spice- and she’s not wrong. It’s by no means the whole of the book, but she definitely includes some spicy scenes.

I really enjoyed the audio narration. The novel has dual narration and the audio provided a male narrator and a female narrator which I love. They did a great job with the male American accent and female British accent. I thought they each portrayed their characters well and it made the novel so captivating and easy to follow along.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5

I so enjoyed this audiobook edition of Clean Point by Meg Jones! The narrators felt authentic and were perfect for the roles. I would recommend for fans of Carrie Soto and Challengers, but also like Tessa Bailey-style sports romance/smut.

Added bonus: the suggested playlist to go along with the chapters was full of bangers like Maisie Peters and Wolf Alice.

I found myself really rooting for and wanting #JusticeForScottie. The gaslighting of her situation and as a female athlete in general was infuriating!

The open door scenes felt additive to the plot and narrative of Scottie and Nico’s relationship which was a plus. I’m definitely looking forward to more from Meg.

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperAudio for providing me with this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

I was lucky enough to get the ALC and I loved the narrators. I do wish it was done as a duet but it was still good.

The story itself is great, it has the drama and the romance.
Loved getting to learn a little more about tennis.

Overall it’s a good story, quick to get into and even though it’s pretty long it’s fast paced.
