Across the Net: A Rivals to Lovers MM Tennis Romance (Advantage Book 1)

★★★★★ A Love Story That Hits Harder Than Any Match Point Across The Net is not just a sports novel—it’s an emotional experience that stays with you long after you finish the last page. From the very beginning, this book pulls you back to that unforgettable feeling of first love—the intensity, the vulnerability, the fire that makes everything else fade into the background. It’s written with such authenticity that you don’t just read it… you feel it. Set against the high-stakes world of elite junior tennis, the story follows two rising stars competing on the biggest stages around the world. The matches are gripping, the pressure is relentless, and the pursuit of greatness is real—but what truly sets this book apart is what happens off the court. This is a deeply human story about identity, self-worth, and the courage it takes to live your truth in a world that doesn’t always make that easy. The character development is exceptional. You watch these young athletes grow—not just stronger and more confident in their game—but more aware of who they are and who they’re becoming. That evolution is powerful… and at times, honestly, a little scary. Because the belief they begin to build in themselves is so strong, so undeniable, that you know it’s going to come at a cost. And it does. The emotional tension in this book is incredible. The relationship between the two main characters is written with such depth and realism that you can’t help but become completely invested in their…

The two tennis players couldn't be more different, Blake is privileged, funded, coached; while Andre is raw and barely able to afford equipment to play. When the two meet on the court for the first time, it was a battle that neither could forget. Their feelings were confusing, new and forbidden. Hiding their relationship from the world created stress and conflict. Both were stuck in their own cage of expectations dictated by family and sponsors. Making it on the pro circuit could cost them everything if their relationship becomes public..

Terrible book, poorly written, pushing agendas. I would not recommend this book to anyone. Don’t waste your time.
