I took tennis lessons for approximately 15 minutes during the summer before I went into fourth grade. Impressive, right? Even more impressive is the fact that I still own the rack I used back in those long minutes of my tennis career and have passed that Wilson racket down to my daughter. My point is, I love tennis. I discovered that I did NOT love playing it but I still to this day look forward to watching Wimbledon every year.  It's hard not respect a game that uses the word "love" as a score. One I was well acquainted with. *sigh*Reading GAME. SET. MATCH. is a tennis lovers dream.  There are lots and lots of tennis details to fool your brain into thinking it's actually attending a tennis match at the Outerbanks Tennis Academy (OBX).One of my favorite parts of this book is the fact that we have three heroines with three storylines weaved together through the commonality they all have: OBX. Even the "bad girl" in this trio has likable moments. Penny and Indy really stole the show for me and I love, love, LOVE (the feeling, not the score) that Jennifer gave us a heroine that is uber-sucessful AND down to earth in Penny. It was refreshing to see.My other favorite part of this book? Alex. And also Jack. Those boys have been double dipped in milk chocolate and rolled in sprinkles. They're THAT delicious. This book is "classified" as New Adult, so be prepared for the swoonage. Oh, Alex.This story is not to be missed if you consider yourself a sports fan of ANY type. Jennifer does a fantastic job of throwing the reader right into the middle of a tennis match. Match scenes are rich in detail. As are the kissing scenes.  This first book in the OBX series is a nice mixture of sports and romance.  I'm looking forward to getting my hands on book two.
