This was so GOOD!!! This is a sports romance + rivals to lovers + FATED MATES! Juliette Ricci comes from a family of tennis superstars, coached by her father for many years. Luca Kacic is “Lucky Luca” and the rising tennis star to beat. A rivalry between the two of them starts off with a sizzling tennis match, especially when they both realize they’re each other’s SOULMATES! Too bad they can’t get through a conversation without biting each other’s heads off. 

This book is spicy and full of sapphic yearning! Also it is so good and sporty!
