Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings
that spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.
(WoW was previously hosted by Breaking The Spine.)
Synopsis from Goodreads:Australian Matteo Russo is the first and only openly gay tennis pro. Once a brilliant junior, he was slated for a bright future – until a freak accident derailed his career. Now, he’s fed up, he’s struggling to qualify for tournaments, and he’s not sure he can afford dinner tonight.
After losing to his old rival—the rich, arrogant, American superstar Miles Callahan—Mat throws the man’s privilege in his face and sets him a challenge – one he’s sure Miles would never accept. But he does. Determined to prove he’s earned his success, Miles travels to Wimbledon on a tight budget – no support team, no coach, no fancy hotel. And now the American needs a hitting partner, and someone to explain laundromats, and what started as a dare soon becomes a searing off-court fling.
Mat should be focussing on his career, not falling for a glamorous star, but Miles believes in his game in a way Mat hasn’t for a long time, and is fast becoming everything he’s ever wanted. Only... love and tennis just don’t mix, because one day soon they’ll have to face each other on the court.
And in tennis, someone always has to lose.
This is one of those books that I'm on the fence about reading due to the huge (massive) amount of ARC reviews that I feel aren't truthful. SO many amazing 5 stars that I don't believe in, and many DNFs that I applaud for their honesty (especially for DNFing an ARC.) Sports romance? Okay, great. The author blurbing that there is very little actual tennis in a 500 page book? Not so great.
Add in this a debut author, and this might be going on the long list TBR and I'll get around to it when I'm in the mood.
Also, ballsy move to release this during Wimbledon. I'm currently scheduling my life around Wimbledon matches (AND World Cup!).
What are you waiting on this week?
