Game Point by Meg Jones
Releasing September 9, 2025
Rating: LOVED

Book Two in the Game, Set, and Match tennis romance series, Game Point, wins at love! Dylan Bailey, Clean Point’s redeemed villainess, tosses her racquets aside after yet another major final loss. Talented and deeply competitive, she steamrolls her way through tournaments then struggles in the finals. Enough is enough.

Until she meets Oliver and the two strike up a friendship—and make a bet that pulls her right back into tennis. Oliver’s ready to retire from tennis and jumps into coaching Dylan, pushing these friends into close proximity and high-stress moments. And the chemistry is on fire, but will they blur the lines of coach and player with so much at stake?

LOVED Game Point. First, I’m a huge tennis fan and was a competitive tennis player years ago (sadly, not on the professional circuit), so all the tennis was right up my alley and brought me back to some crazy times. I loved how the author brought the characters and their personalities together. Dylan is such a fireball and competitor, a little (or a lot) stubborn and prickly, and carries a lot of love and tenderness for the people who matter to her. Loved her tenacity and her softer side as well. Oliver is just such a good guy and the perfect balance for Dylan. The thoughtfulness and maturity they both showed (most of the time) communicating and thinking of each was perfection.

Game Point’s plot was fun too—not just about the romance but competitive sports, the physical and mental toll, the emotions, family dynamics, all of it made the book that much more compelling!

Overall, I adored Game Point and highly recommend.

Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager for the advance copy. All thoughts and opinions are mine.
