Pre-order the new sizzling sapphic enemies to lovers taking place during the US Open!
Nothing fades faster than a former prodigy—and Inés Costa is dangerously close to disappearing.
Once queen of the court, Inés is limping through qualifiers. And after losing her biggest sponsor to Chloe Murphy, the sport’s fiery new favourite, she and her bank account are running on fumes.
Chloe, known as much for her talent as her temper, is a top seed for the upcoming US Open. But thanks to broken rackets, code violations, and the inability to play well with others, her “favourite” status is slipping away.
However, when they are forced to share the same side of the court, and the world surprisingly doesn’t implode, Chloe makes an offer: she’ll fund Inés’s journey to the US open, but only if Inés agrees to be her hitting partner and teach her to keep a level head.
It’s strictly business, but somewhere between practice drills and tour stops, the line between rival and something more begins to blur.
As the summer burns toward Flushing Meadows, their sizzling tension catches fire. With a trophy in sight and emotions running high, will their romance double fault at set point?

This was BEAUTIFUL! I love Inés and Chloe SO MUCH! This whole series sits really close to my heart - each one is so special in its own way. And now we have these two!!! And they’re SO PERFECT! There’s nothing better than enemies to lovers?? Who work together bc one of them is the only thing that calms the other??? COME ON!! There’s so much banter!! And they have such good chemistry!!! And there’s no third act break up!!! Inés and Chloe have my HEART! I love this series so much! And I LOVED seeing everyone again!!
Both women are SO IMPORTANT TO ME! I love a prickly girl and that is Chloe Murphy and I LOVE HER!!! She goes through so much throughout the book and her character arc is BEAUTIFUL! And Inés also a girl after my own heart!!! She’s never felt like enough and now here is Chloe, her enemy, her rival?? And she wants her in more ways than one and doesn’t care who knows it!! I loved how much they nurtured their relationship, they communicated well, supported each other always and really were able to read each other.
I also love a good epilogue!!! And this one was PERFECT!!

Beta read and wowow yall are in for a TREAT
Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
This book honestly felt like the perfect mix of sports drama and slow burn sapphic romance for me. I was hooked right away by Inés because there’s something so soft and heartbreaking about a former prodigy trying to hold on to what’s left of her career. And then there’s Chloe, who is talented, chaotic, and just a little bit messy in a way that made me love her immediately.
When the two of them are forced to work together, the tension is PERFECT. I loved watching their walls slowly come down, from grudging respect, to real friendship, to having feelings. The banter made me smile, the chemistry was undeniable, and yes... the spice definitely delivered.
What surprised me most was how much sweet and also emotional this story is. It’s not just about tennis (though the US Open backdrop is super fun); it’s about burnout, pressure, and learning to let someone in. I found myself rooting for them both, not just as a couple, but as two women trying to figure out who they are under the spotlight.
If you love rivals to lovers with forced proximity, only one bed chaos, and big feelings wrapped up in a sapphic sports romance, this one was really good! It felt warm, fun, and just the right amount of spicy and I genuinely didn’t want to put it down.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!
I was really scared there was going to be a love triangle or cheating trope when I first started it. Thankfully that wasn’t the case. I won’t go into any more details in order to not spoil anything but if that is also a trope you despise, there’s nothing to worry about.
I loved this book. It was the perfect blend of sports and romance. I really enjoyed the tennis aspect of it.
In the beginning it was hard to like Chloe. I completely understand why Ines didn’t like her. But she makes up for it with her character development. Once they were both able to get over themselves, the chemistry was amazing. I read this so fast because it kept me enraptured. I want more of Ines and Chloe’s story, I loved that the epilogue was five years into the future but I do think it would’ve been cool to see more of how they navigating competition and how Ines dealt with her injury. I’m between 4.5 and 5 stars, so I’m going to round up and give it five stars!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC for my honest feedback.
I absolutely loved Set Point. This is a first read for me from Meg Jones and I really hope she writes more sapphic stories!
I devoured this book in almost one sitting. It is a beautiful, fun, and easy story to read. Both Chloe and Ines are great characters and I love them both so much! They're full of sarcasm, competitive drive, and love. It's a low angst book filled with growth, communication, and support.
It's really refreshing to read a book about two people who have a great connection and actually act on it and take their time, with no third act break up. I like how Chloe and Ines always communicated and supported each other. It was so good to see Chloe's transformation and growth with the help of Ines.
If you like sapphic sports novels, this is a really good book to get lost in.
Oh, PS. there's a very sexy date involving wine and I loved this entire scene.

I don't usually read sapphic sports romances because women's sports are my lifelong great love and most writers just get so much stuff so wrong it takes me out of the story. But not Meg Jones! She crushed the sports part of Set Point and the romance part of Set Point and the chronic injury part of Set Point! Not that it's a completely accurate look at the world of professional tennis or anything, but it's got enough real stuff to make the imaginary stuff easy to digest. Enemies to lovers? Nailed it. One bed? Nailed it. The tension of playing and watching tennis? Nailed it. The toxicity of fandoms? Nailed it! The oppressive heat of Queens in the summer? Nailed it! And! And! No third act break-up! I probably still won't read a lot of sports romances, but if Meg Jones writes more gay books, I'll definitely read those!

Im disappointed :( Heated Rivalry had me wanting so bad to love this but I just, didnt. I didnt connect with either of the characters, so I didnt find their relationship very compelling. I found small scenes cute enough, but I spent most of the book confused by the dynamic and confused by tennis rules. Maybe if I hadnt wanted so much from a sports romance I would've enjoyed this, but right now, I find myself disappointed. Oh well :(

I read another book in this series earlier this year, so I figured I would go ahead and read the next one that had been teased in the previous book when I received an advanced reader's copy of it. It was fine. I didn't find it super engaging and found the two female characters generic enough that I would keep getting confused about whose perspective the story was being told from in any given chapter.

I really enjoyed this sapphic tennis romance but felt like some of the side plots lacked the sufficient attention to bring everything together. But the romance is a really wonderful journey with 2 very distinct, layered characters!

Delightful. Just truly fun from start to finish. Is definitely more fun if you have read the other books in the series, but can be read as a standalone if needed.
