This was a cute little read! I've read quite a few sports romances before but this is my first tennis one.
Elle Caraway feels stuck in her relationship with Jamie. She is financially dependent on him and she knows he has been cheating on her. After leaving teaching and becoming a chef, her agency gets her a job - personal chef to American professional tennis player Nicky Salco whilst he is in London for Wimbledon.
This is a live-in job and Elle quickly gets to know Nicky's entire team from Sydney, his assistant to his coach Ragnar and his fiancée Mackenzie who is forever asserting her authority.
Nicky and Elle become close during the nights when Elle is cooking for him but obviously it must be kept a secret.
Whilst I enjoyed the story as a whole I did feel like it went a bit 0-100. I wish there had been more of a build up between Elle and Nicky. There were a few occasions where I wanted to shout "what are you doing?!" at Elle but by the end, the decisions that she was making made sense. A sweet little romance!
