Can a player on the court be a keeper at home?

Elle's love language is food. But finding the right kind of work in her industry is difficult. After multiple different stints and temporary work, she lands her dream role: a personal chef to huge tennis star, Nicky Salco. It's just a bonus that he's handsome and athletic...but totally off limits.

The pressure is on, and not just in the kitchen. As Nicky trains for hours on the court for Wimbledon, Elle treads carefully around his brutally judgemental fiancée, while also trying to ignore her own boyfriend's cheating habits.

But the temperature rises when Nicky's training leads him to get hungry late at night and Elle is the one tasked with keeping his belly full. Despite being worlds apart, their late night rendezvous seem to lead to more than they intended.

Should they risk the lives they have already built, for the lives they truly want?

A sizzling, forced-proximity sporting romance that fans of Hannah Grace and Ali Hazelwood will fall head over heels for.

This is hot, Hot, HOT! 

The sexual chemistry between Elle and Nicky is sizzling. 

And the scenes when they give into what they are clearly feeling are enough to get you all hot and bothered. 

In fact I was reading most of this sitting on the edge of a pool so that I could splash water on me when needed to cool myself down... although arguably reading this in private to full appreciate some of the scenes may have been a smarter move! 

A private chef and a top level Tennis player is a fabulous combination, and I loved rooting on Nicky as he attempts to re-gain his form on the court.

If you aren't a massive tennis fan then don't worry there aren't too many sporty scenes of actual game play action - although there is plenty of other action if you catch my drift. 

For me this was a perfect summer read, and I couldn't get enough of the story, the characters, the settings, as we follow the Tennis tour around the world, including thanks to Sky Tennis launching this year, a whole bunch of tournaments that I've actually seen bits of this year. 

Tennis, good food, excellent sex what more could a girl ask for in a book! 

Thank you to Hera and Netgalley and this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
