Page 12 of The Romance Rivalry

They’re on dueling pickleball teams and the winner takes the prize that both of them needs? YES, thank you. I stand by it...

rivals-to-lovers is the superior trope. Give me that tension when they’re both going for the same goal against each other.

And the locker room scene? HELP ME, that was so hot.

I’m a convert. Rivals-to-lovers is now my number one trope. The sexual tension between Helena and Astrid both on and off the

court had me begging and screaming “just fuck already” on every page. So good. Also, how do we convince the author to write

book 2 about their respective pickleball partners hooking up?
