*I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.*I had been eagerly anticipating Game. Set. Match. I have enjoyed a few other books that have mixed sport and romance together so I was hoping this book was no exception. Game. Set. Match. is very well written, I will admit my knowledge of tennis is very poor but the story is very descriptive and captures the world of tennis, including the pressure and the challenges the members of Outer Banks Tennis Academy face.The story was told from Indy, Penny and Jasmine's point of view. Each of these girls had their own demons to face and wanted to prove to their family and the world of tennis just how good they were. I must admit because the story focused on all three girls and their potential love interests I didn't feel we got enough characterisation therefore I didn't really connect to them very well. It was hard to pick out a favourite. I would say I liked Penny's back story and perhaps out of them all, I was most drawn to her.Each girl had personal goals they wanted to achieve and enemies they wanted to defeat. The story follows Indy, Penny and Jasmine competing in various tennis tournaments. It proves that there is a lot of pressure on these girls at such a young age to have a lot of responsibility on their shoulders. Then coupling that with unrequited love, unattainable love and untrustworthy love and it's a whole can of worms just spilling over.I am unsure if the next book in the series will be set out the same but I think if one couple were the main focus per book then this would have been a great read for me. I felt like I was grazing at a buffet when all I wanted was a huge main course. (weird but true ;))If you are a tennis  aficionado then you will love this book. It goes into great detail about every match and the training that goes on. For me I am a romance addict and the balance wasn't tipped in my favour, I wanted more interaction between the couples to lift the story up a notch and to grab my attention.This was a well written story centred around tennis with love and relationships thrown in. If you love films like Wimbledon and books like Lyla Payne's Broken at Love then you will enjoy Game. Set. Match. ~Ava
