Read for VPRC. Harper is an up and coming tennis player who has lead an ideal privileged life in Sydney's richest suburb until her coach dumps her. Her new coach brings another player called Colt to train with Harper and his background is mysterious and he appears to come from the poorer side of town and have some serious family issues. While Harper and Colt are being taught how to play mixed doubles together with a view to winning the Australian Open, Harper's own family dynamic is changing. Her sister has broken up with the troubled boy next door (literally) and is still in love with him but he is in love with Harper....it gets very messy and ugly, and all the while Colt is in the background.
A romance I wouldn't have chosen myself to read but if you discount all the angst over boys, the behind the scenes preparation for tennis training was a complete eye opener for me and the most interesting part of the book. For older readers due to the sex and for those who like their romances over complicated and messy. ( )
