Romance blooms at the Australian Open between a French tennis star & a local bartender. I usually have no trouble suspending disbelief in reading romance & I was fine with believing in the romance here, but a lot of the Melbourne setting was a bit off. Apparently the author lived here for a bit a few years ago - I think she relied on memory rather than doing research.👇
Love And Other Scores has a cute, if fairly standard, rom-com conceit and follows the exact trajectory you‘d expect. It‘s all palatable enough, except for some moments of amateurish writing. The side characters and their relationships with the leads are strong, though, and keep Love And Other Scores on solid(ish) ground.
