Another fabulous single POV with a fantastic narrator! My first tennis romance, well done, felt like I was there and brought back memories from when I was really into tennis in high school/college.
Funny. Made me cry at the end. Had my favorite micro trope of defending the mfc from her shitty ex. Lots of great romantic moments. The end also reminded me of nothing hill.

I admit, I think I have never before read a sports romance, at least I can't remember that I ever read one; thus I wasn't entirely sure what to expect here.
What I got was a solid forced-proximity, grumpy-sunshine, and sort of enemies-to-lovers summer romance centred mostly around the famous Wimbledon tournament.
The book has great characters, a lovely story, some spice, and a lot of humour in it. The writing is good and flows well, and the book is easy and enjoyable to read. I laughed some, I cried some, I developed a massive dislike - and even some levels of hate - for some of the side characters, I rooted for Flora and Kieran.
It's a sweet with a touch of spice story that has even some good life advice and a few great quotes in it.
I enjoyed it a lot and found myself well entertained and, at the end of the day, that's what books for casual entertainment are about. Not every book one reads needs to be a life-changing, Nobel price worthy piece of world's greatest literature and ingenuity to be a good book. Sometimes a good book is a book that provides the entertainment or distraction you're after, just as a movie or TV show does for those who choose these instead of a book, and that's okay. Perfectly fine even.
I can recommend this as an easy going summer, vacation, or beach read, or just for someone wanting to escape into a tennis romance instead of a Hallmark movie.

A quick and fun read, which is what I was looking for.
I do think it was a bit misleading being classed as "enemies to lovers", as it really wasn't, so I was a bit disappointed in that. But not too bothered as I really was just looking for something quick to pass the time.
