My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Flynn is a former tennis player turned motivational speaker who recently returned from her book tour. She’s a well-known speaker and writer, yet hides so much of her truth from the world. She’s determined to not let her past catch up with her, even if it means ruining all that starts to go well in her life.

Chavez was at the peak of his tennis career when he abruptly left the circuit. He is hot-headed, extremely sure of himself, and doing all he can to cover his family drama. He aspires to reach the top of his game again too.

Sparks and tension are ablaze when Flynn and Chavez meet in their therapists’ shared waiting room. Chavez wants more than a relationship with Flynn, he wants her to be his new tennis coach too. Flynn agrees, but her flight or fight response kicks in when old problems surface as things with Chavez get more intense.

I love Rowan Rossler’s writing, so it was no surprise that I enjoyed these characters and the overall story. Between the age-gap (it’s not as much of a gap as I anticipated) and everything else the characters have to navigate, it kept my attention from the very beginning. The Challenger is the second book in the series, but is easily read as a standalone. The first book, The Cruiser, is definitely worth reading if you want to fully understand the friendships and connections.
