Book Description
Nestled along the North Carolina coast, the Outer Banks Tennis Academy is the world's most elite training facility. In this pressure-cooker environment, futures are forged in blood and sweat, and dreams are shattered in an instant. Penny Harrison, a rising star, is determined to win the French Open and beat her arch rival, Zina Lutrova. But when her coach imports British bad boy Alex Russell as her new training partner, will Penny be able to keep her laser-like focus? Tennis is all Jasmine Randazzo has ever known. The daughter of two Grand Slam champions, she's hell-bent on extending her family's legacy and writing her own happily-ever-after...until her chosen Prince Charming gives her the just-friends speech, right before the biggest junior tournament of the year, the Outer Banks Classic. With a powerful serve and killer forehand, newcomer Indiana Gaffney is turning heads. She's thrilled by all of the attention, especially from Jack Harrison, Penny's agent and hot older brother, except he keeps backing off every time things start heating up. With so much at stake, dreams-and hearts-are bound to break. As a tennis lover, this book was right up my alley - the sections that deal with the sport are heart-pounding and filled with nervous excitement. As a reader who salivates over well-drawn characters and sizzling romantic sparks, Game. Set. Match. exceeded every expectation. This is a fantastic bunch of strong, interesting, sexy characters, and I can't wait to see what's next - the OBXers definitely have a new fan in me. - Lyla Payne, USAToday Bestselling author of BROKEN AT LOVE Jennifer so expertly weaves the stories of these six characters together that my heart was absolutely tied up in their hopes, dreams, and disappointments. Full of funny, steamy, heartbreaking, and girl-power moments with a surprise around every corner. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough! - Alessandra Thomas, author of PICTURE PERFECT
