This was my first book by CB Samet and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Enjoyed the tennis theme and threat suspense. Good character development and liked the interaction of Aurora and Mason. Look forward to reading more by this author.

Love applies to tennis and life
Dry and disappointing
I had such great expectations for my first book by this author. The blurb is misleading. The hero comes across as weak. The tennis star could have had more suspense added to the plot. I had no trouble taking breaks away from the book. Could have been hotter and way more dramatic.
Enjoyed this book very much great page turner.
I give five stars to every single book I like. This story is well written and very moving. Would make a great movie in my opinion. Well done. C B Samet.
Enjoyable
Mystery, tension, love story. All included in this book. First book read by this author and will surely read more.
Nail-biting Suspense
This was the first book I’ve read by CB Samet, but it won’t be the last! Nail-biting suspense ands building tension kept me on the edge of my seat. Readers will enjoy this romantic suspense and like me, will want to read more!
Absolutely loved this story
Very interesting listen absolutely loved the characters in this book. I don't usually read or listen to this style of writing but I'm thrilled I took time for this book. I just couldn't stop listening or take a break from it until I got to the end. The narrator was also great I typically search out books with both male and female narrators for the voice differences but this was overall a great experience.
Meridian File
I enjoyed this contemporary romance and suspense story highlighting an American tennis player on the international circuit receiving death threats in the mail. Her parents employ a team of expert bodyguards who keep her safe through increasing danger. The characters are realistic and flawed, but have a lot of drive, perseverance, and integrity. While the danger gets intense, and the attraction is clearly established, there are no graphically described scenes to make the reader uncomfortable.
ok
I didn't connect with this story and I can't even say why.
I felt that there were too many unimportant scenes that did nothing to promote the story.
I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
