All's Fair in Love and Pickleball

De: Kate Spencer

Narrado por: Mia Hutchinson Shaw

In this sweet and steamy romcom, two rival pickleball players find themselves faking a romance—until they start falling for each other for real. Perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey and Sarah Adams.

Bex Martin’s racquet club is her entire world. But the business she inherited from her mother has started to feel more like a sinking ship. That is, until Nikolaus Karras—a former tennis bad boy with an ego as big as his serve—makes himself at home on her courts.

Niko has something to prove, and a high-stakes pickleball tournament is just what he needs to get back in the game after a career-ending injury. When he is finally able to set his ego aside to ask for Bex’s help, everyone assumes that they are a couple—on and off the court.

She needs the prize money to save the club, and he needs a win to restore his reputation. So now they have a fake relationship as well as a doubles partner that they can’t seem to resist. Game on!

“If you’re looking for a story that screams summer romance, this is it.”
—USA Today on One Last Summer

Sweet and Cozy with a small side of sexy

Great love story. Sure it is somewhat predictable, but who cares. If someone is reading this genre they want romance and a fun story to take their mind off their own lives for just a little while. The only reason I gave it 4:5 is that at times it slowed a little for me, the story just took a little too long. But not a reason not to read! Nice job Kat

Such a fun read!

I love Kate Spencer, and this is her best yet! Such a fun read with great characters!

A Pickleball Lover’s Dream

Yes, yes, and yes! This book is a Pickleball player’s dream come true. The banter was spot on—Kate Spencer clearly knows the game. I know some readers weren’t fans of the insta-lust, but I ate that up. Fun, fast-paced, and full of Pickleball joy—I loved it!
