About this listen

Things heat up on and off the court for two tennis rivals in this steamy debut gay sports rom-com, perfect for fans of TJ Alexander and Casey McQuiston.

American tennis star Leo Chambers is determined to win the US Open by thirty, the age when many players feel retirement looming. He’s just a year away from that dreaded birthday, but he can’t find his focus—considering he hasn’t told anyone he’s gay, he’s clashing with his strict coach (who also happens to be his dad), and he still can’t figure out how to beat his longtime nemesis on tour, Gabe Montoya, who, well, hits different. Gabe is playing better than ever, and Leo can’t seem to escape him—and maybe he doesn’t want to escape him.

Leo’s other obstacle is Sascha Volkov, a Russian legend who has such a powerful influence on the tennis world, he would destroy Leo’s career if he found out that he’s gay.

No distractions, Leo reminds himself. But when Gabe makes a shocking announcement, Leo is thrown off his game—in more ways than one. Ready? Play.

Thirty Love is a must-hear for fans of queer sports romances.

The book is a beach read, light, fun and emotional. It takes some time to get into the romance, with good overall tennis references and realistic from a summarised version of tennis. It reads like a movie script rather than a novel. I enjoyed it and am happy with both the story and the ending. Job well done.
The narration was the only disappointing part, it felt like a teenager who was overly excited and took away from the depth of the story, but it is on par with Audible’s disappointing selection of performers.

Tennis, love and representation are the three pillars of this story and we are all the better for it.

I would love to read a sequel of the characters journey, but I don’t believe I will be listening to it.

My recommendation would be to get the hard copy but, if you have a spare credit, go ahead and get this title, it will likely get you to shed a tear here and there. Thank you and congrats to the Author.
