My rating: 5 of 5 stars

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5 Stars

I am a lover of sports romance and this is my first sports romance that involved Tennis……and the continuation of The Hustlers Trilogy with book 2 was fabulous. I recommend reading this series in order as characters are folded into the story of Chavez and Flynn in book 2.

Chavez Delgado is a tennis player that has had his share of behavior that is volatile and just unpredictable with his past always haunting him in his head. Meeting a therapist to get through the rough edges of Chavez and his behavior he unexpectedly meeting Flynn…and the smooth talking Chavez comes out. Chavez is a bit relentless when trying to ask Flynn for her phone number…and she is not buying what he is selling…well at first….but when she finally gives him time to talk.. there is another side to Chavez that intrigues her.

Flynn Dryden is a popular motivational speaker/author….but her past haunts her dearly. Flynn puts on a brave face everyday trying to live by her own words that she has in her own books but the heavy walls that she has up at all times, the guilt she feels about her past, Chavez tries to break them down without even knowing the “whys” of her walls.

When Chavez asks Flynn to become his coach, to get him “out of his head” during his tennis matches not only is there some success but the sparks are fully ignited between Chavez and Flynn, With everything going so well .. what happens when lies are piling up and the past comes out to haunt both Chavez and Flynn? Will they be able to right the wrongs and move forward through their rocky past?

This is a fantastic sports romance, with a spicy reversed aged gap, drama and the love of tennis! Highly recommended and I cannot wait until book 3!!!
