Thank you to HarperAudio and Meg Jones for the opportunity to listen to the audiobook of Clean Point in exchange for an honest review.

I have read many sports romances over the years, but this was my first tennis romance - and I loved it! This book has the perfect amount of slow burn tension rivals to lovers tension that we all know and love.

I think with audiobooks that narrators can really make or break a book - at least for me. If the narrator doesnt fit the character then it can really turn me off completely from a book. In this case, I absolutely loved the narrators and appreciated that there were two with the dual POV. It made the book easy to follow and way more entertaining than if it were just one.

I only have one *critique* if you will. The first would be that the actual audio itself fluctuated very much. Even in the same chapter at some points I would have to raise the volume, and then in others I had to lower it.

Overall, I really enjoyed the book.
Thank you for the opportunity!

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Audio for this audiobook ALC! We love a revenge mission with a side of enemies to lovers. This was Carrie Soto is Back but with more tension as Scottie and Nico try to each get to their goal while stuck competing together. I laughed out loud at Scottie’s sass multiple times and was truly caught up in the competition of it all. The narrators were absolute perfection and made the experience just that much better than reading to myself. Can’t wait for the sequel.

My goodness, am I a tennis romance fan now?! I think I might be.

I LOVED this book!!! The premise and character development that went beyond the romance, the tender love, care and adoration for each other, was everything!!

👀 Father’s rival
🎾 Tennis partners
📸 Fake perceived dating
🥰 Forced proximity

Highly recommend to all romance fans, and cannot wait to read her next book!!!

This book was so much more than I was expecting! I knew this was a sports romance, but the emotion and vulnerability we saw from both main characters just felt like so much more than a sports romance. I loved every second of this book. It felt like Not just a beautiful love story but a love story that I could see happening in real life. The spice was so freaking spicy, and oh my God, that man has an amazing dirty mouth. I also love to see miscommunication not being a main issue and a love story and I feel like miscommunication very really happened between these two main love interest.Cannot wait to see what else happens in the rest of the series!

This book was so great! I loved the redemption era Scottie was in and all she overcame! The connection between her and Nico was electric and they really made each other better! I also LOVED how soft and sweet Nico was with Scottie, even though he was a super tough athlete who was not soft with others.

The vibes:
- Tennis pros
- Redemption arc
- Enemies (Rivals) to lovers (+doubles partners)
- Protective MMC + Strong FMC

Thank you to NetGalley for access to this book in exchange for my honest review!

3.5⭐, 2.5🌶️

This was a cute and fun tennis romance! Rivals-ish to Lovers and also Tennis teammates. I loved that Scottie as the "bad girl" and Nico is the older player coming back to earn his last chance of glory. Their relationship was cute and sweet and had me smiling.

Hello - If you are like me and cant stand a CERTAIN pop culture singer reference in your romance novels, this aint the book for you. Her name is dropped in the dedication page and is brought up several other times. This is absolutely a me problem but it had me rolling my eyes in frustration. Let fiction work be fiction work please.

Unfortunately, I don't recommend the audiobook for this one. Patrick Zellers narration just waivered with his volume level. I think I broke my volume buttons how often mid-sentence I had to crank the volume because he was talking quieter, then got too loud. I think I just missed out a lot on Nico's POV's because of that, which ultimately had me missing out on a lot of the romance probably.

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for an ALC of this book in exchange for my honest and unpaid review.

Clean Point by Meghan Jones is a gripping story of resilience and redemption. From the first page, I was drawn into main character’s journey, rooting for them through every struggle and triumph. Jones’ writing is raw and authentic, making the characters feel incredibly real.

Some moments slowed the pacing, but the emotional depth kept me hooked. This book doesn’t shy away from tough topics, and that’s what makes it so impactful. If you enjoy heartfelt stories of self-discovery, Clean Point is worth the read!

For fans of:
- Unromance

Two tennis has-beens are united when a former coach convinces them to join forces for mixed doubles. While rivalries run high, both players must face their pasts if they want to achieve their dreams of winning wimbleton.

This book includes:
- Wimbledon madness
- dual POV
- grumpy sunshine
- sports romance
- tennis stars on a redemption tour
- narcissistic dad/coach
- TW: performance enhancing drugs, sports injuries

This was a fun romcom and it doesn't hurt that there is something about tennis makes it an extra sexy sport - maybe because everyone looks good in white. I found this romance to be cute and engaging, if a bit forgettable. My only complaint is about the audiobook production. The male narrator had a fantastic voice, but the narration often went from impossible to hear to ear splitting in a sentence. Even on full volume, I had trouble understanding some of the quiet parts.

I received this audiobook as an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley, Meg Jones, and HarperAudio Adult for the opportunity to review this book.

~Audiobook Review~ 🎧 📖
I love sports romances and this was my first tennis romance and I’m obsessed! This story follows pro tennis players Scottie and Nico who team up to play mixed doubles. Scottie is out to avenge herself in the tennis world and Nico is her father’s formal rival who is looking for one last title after recovering from an injury.

This story has all the tropes I love, age-gap, enemies to lovers, grumpy MMC, forced proximity, not to mention the dual POV’s on audio was perfection! And the spice! Wow! It made this slow burn worth the wait and I was giggling and screaming at how amazing the audio was! I fell absolutely in love with Scottie and Nico, how their partnership progressed, and how protective Nico became over Scottie! Nico had me swooning!

If you’re looking for a slow burn sports romance with witty banter, tension, and spice, you have to read this! You’ll be so glad you did! I can’t wait to read my ARC for Game Point, the second book in the Game, Set, Match series.. Thank you to Meg Jones, NetGalley, and HarperAudio for this audiobook!

The book was good but not great. I like that it switched back and forth between the two characters. But it was a little frustrating b/c sometimes the character would repeat the same scene but from the other POV. It made the book feel repetitive.

A little too long but great spice and fun for tennis lovers! Bingeable even for non-sports fans. I loved the dual narrations (both narrators were perfect). I loved that the chapters began with a song.

I loveeee an enemies to lovers sports romance and I really enjoyed this book!! I loved Scottie and Nico’s dynamic and chemistry. Her dad sucks. I also enjoyed the narrators!!

🎧 I was able to listen to this book which was narrated by Mary Jane Wells and Patrick Zeller. I thought both did a great job brining the characters to life. I also enjoyed Wells accent and thought it added to the character.

This spicy, enemies to lovers tennis romance will have you wish for LOVE and not in tennis terms 🎾

Scottie and Nico are both trying to make a come back for very different reasons. Can the two get passed their differences to win on and off the court?

I’m still delving into sports romances but enemies to lovers is definitely my jam! This was a little slow and I didn’t really connect to the characters. I do recommend checking this out for yourself and the audio was fabulous and helped me breeze through.

Thank you to the author, Meg Jones, publisher, Harper Audio, and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to this book. I received the audio and my review is being left voluntarily.

I really liked the audio book. I normally speed up audiobooks but I listened to this one on regular speed and I enjoyed the whole thing.

I totally was not expecting a British accent for this one, though I'm not sure why I was so sure about it. This added an entirely new element to the story for me. I'd already finished the physical book when I was assigned the audiobook by the publisher. I'm so glad because this narration made it feel like I was reading it again for the first time. What a delightful addition to my book collection! The book is hilariously addicting with characters that work. The tennis world is portrayed in a way that makes me believe the author is a fan of the game. A+ listening experience & book!

5 stars
Audiobook review

One of the best stories I've listened to this year so far for sure!

I loved the plot and character developments. The world building was fantastic from the paparazzi, tennis comeback, and finding yourself.
Some of the side characters left an impression on me too. The banter and chemistry between the main characters was funny, sweet, dirty, and powerful. I ship them for sure.

Can't wait to go back and read the next book in the series.

I thoroughly enjoyed "Clean Point" as a delightful and quick read that kept me mostly engaged. The character development of the main characters, Scottie and Nico, was both thoughtful and nuanced, evolving in a way that felt authentic. I really loved that it turned into more a vendetta and how protective they were of each other.

While I found the storyline fun, I did feel that the random Taylor Swift references were a bit annoying as they felt like a nod to a specific audience rather than integrating into the narrative at all. However, at the end of the day, this doesn’t really matter or have a play in how I felt about the book as a whole; maybe the author just wanted to show her love for the singer.

Overall, it was a refreshing book with its witty prose and well-drawn characters. If you're looking for a heartwarming story with romance, character growth, and a fun sports narrative, I do recommend this.

Do you love Wimbledon?
Do you love Wimbledon (2004)?
If you answered yes to either of the above, you're going to love this book. A whopping 12 hours, I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish. Scottie and Nico's journey (both individually and as a couple) from rageful and petty to love is beautiful to be part of. I NEED more tennis romance, mkay? Wells Whittaker got me into golf, and Nico Kotas and his baseball hat reminded me why I love tennis romance.

This is the first book I've listened to narrated by Patrick Zeller and I absolutely LOVE his voice and want more of it. Mary Jane Wells did Scottie well, really tying me to the character more through audio than I would've been just reading. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a listening copy of this book.

I really ended up liking this book more than I anticipated from the start. I really felt for Scottie and the situation with her dad. I was genuinely frustrated on many levels and was glad when the resolution finally came. I have to say I’m glad she had such a strong support system and that the people around here never doubted her. I think my favorite part of this book is there THERE IS NO THIRD ACT BREAKUP. Thank the lord!!! My only gripe is that I didn’t love the narrators. I think this book had the potential to be five stars for me but the delivery of the narrators dropped it down to a 4.25. I’d definitely read more from this author. Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Audio for the ARC and the chance to review!

As a sports romance girly and more importantly a swiftie, I LOVED THIS! I definitely prefer audio when it comes to reading, just becuase I feel like I can accomplish things while also listening in. With that being said, how the voices sound are important to me, and I could not have picked a more fitting voice for either of them!! I love this!!
Do not get me wrong, I did have my moments where I was not the biggest fan, but ultimately this is definitely one worth reading/listening to.
