The new sizzling sapphic enemies to lovers taking place during the US Open!

They’re rivals on the court. But off it? The real match is just beginning…
Inés Costa, Spain’s golden girl, hasn’t scored a Grand Slam since her breakout two years ago. Now, injuries and sky-high expectations are breaking her serve.
Enter Chloe brash, brilliant, and America’s newest tennis obsession. With her eye on another US Open trophy, she’s not about to rally with a washed-up has-been like Inés — or fall for one.

This is unfortunate. Set Point had everything to be great but the execution just wasn't there. There's no character development, I don't see the chemistry between the main characters beside them being hot and it's a lot of telling and no showing.
It's a bummer because I was really excited for this one.

Thank you Netgalley and Avon/Harper Voyager for the ARC.

I love a good sport rivalry romance, and this one hit all the points (see what I did there?). The build-up between the two MCs was really good, and the banter was fantastic. The way the two of them got together flowed and didn’t feel forced, which not all authors can accomplish.

The characters did seem a bit child-like at times, when Ines is supposed to be 25 and Chloe 22. Their reactions to certain situations throughout the story did seem a bit exaggerated, but the overall story made it easy to look past that.

I loved the little surprises throughout the book, usually I can guess what’s going to happen next but I was left wondering every build-up.

The thing that made me the happiest? No second act break-up! I can give more appreciation for a book when it doesn’t have to have a break-up thrown towards the end just to keep it interesting.

Thank you NetGalley and Bold Strokes for the ARC!

If one if your MCs is introduced as a bitch who has fucked over your previous FMCs and is considered to be a sore angry loser then you need to work twice as high to sell her as a decent romantic lead for your readers, you cannot have her STILL breaking her equipment and raging 90% into the story. Chloe learns nothing. In fact none of the MCs have a character arc in any way. How did Inès change? She stopped hated Chloe. How did Chloe change? She made some unearned friends I guess. The problem with no wanting women to grovel is that everything feels unearned. The interstitials were good because I was too rooting against Chloe.
The main "forced proximity" elements between the leads is that Inès will teach Chloe to control her anger something that doesn't happen given that 90% into the story she's still at it. There's no good reason for them to be together beyond thinking they're hot and kissing once.
The initial tension is good but fizzles out very quickly after an apology and there's nothing keeping the dynamic afloat. They were so much more interesting when they hated each other. (Also dick move to bring your gf everyone hates to the friends hangout).

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!!

Thank you so much to Avon for the arc in exchange for an honest review!!

[Hannah · Rating 2 out of 5]

Thanks for the ARC. This was almost an okay story.

1. In the first chapter we have Ines, watching a tennis match she “should be playing in” but is instead watching a younger player named Chloe. Their age difference? 3 years. They’re 25 and 22. At one point she says “youth and speed”. Girl you’re contemporaries. That’s an unhinged plot point. Injuries I get but what the hell is that?

2. Chloe goes on a weekend getaway with her situationship who promptly tells her that he’s seeing someone seriously?

3. For as many reviews that said there was beta reading, it lacks good pacing and character development.

4. I’m very over romances doing all this telling and not showing. If we spent less time on random background characters and more time on moments that show characters and personalities you don’t have to say things about the personality.

5. I actually liked the interstitials.

I really hope this is turned into a movie and also a book series somehow becomes a TV series that maybe delves into the inner world of tennis player by player with Chloe and Ines as the character anchors. This is such a sweet, strong, heroic book. These women are tough and vulnerable and wise, great leaders for this generation.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to review the ARC 💖

[Kelsey | Pages Between Policy · Rating 3 out of 5]

✨ Thank you to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for the ARC of Set Point! This review represents my honest perspective.✨

Maybe closer to 3.5, but it's tough to choose a whole star rating for this one.

Chloe and Ines have met each other, sure - from across the net while competing for a top spot in a grand slam. Chloe is a rising star, whose rising emotional temperature also tends to get the best of her on the court. Ines, meanwhile, is a falling star thanks to years worth of wrist injuries (and subsequent surgeries) who believes she still has a comeback left in her. Chloe and Ines are natural rivals up until the moment they’re forced to be an (ugh) doubles team during a charity match. When they realize that they have something the other needs (Chloe has the fame, the money, and the means; Ines has mental stability and raw talent), they begrudgingly agree to a truce that lasts long enough to get them both to the U.S. Open. But what happens after that is anyone’s guess…

This sapphic/WLW romcom hits a lot of tropes that make it incredibly fun:

💗 Sports Romance
💗 Dual POV
💗 Bisexual representation
💗 Enemies/Rivals to Lovers
💗 Only One Bed
💗 Second Chance

Honestly, like the rest of the world, my brain has been captivated by Heated Rivalry and also like the rest of the world, I was desperately searching for a queer sports enemies-to-lovers novel that might help fill the massive Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov hole in my heart and this really fit the bill. I sped through this spicy and sweet novel where Jones crafts a realistic scenario where two rival tennis stars cross each other’s orbit and end up meaning more to one another than they ever could have expected.

Notably, I haven’t read the first two books in the “Game, Set, and Match” series, but as interconnected standalones, it’s important to know that you can read them in seemingly any order. I didn’t feel like I missed out on any key details about either Ines or Chloe by not having read the earlier novels, though I might go back and read them since I enjoyed Set Point!

The good:
💗 Listen, the chemistry? It worked for me. There’s a plethora of great banter that you’d expect from an enemies/rivals to lovers, and Jones gives us lots of tension between Ines and Chloe.
💗 The spice was done really well - it felt realistic, well timed/placed, and there was enough of it to feel like it was advancing the plot/their relationship without feeling like the book was too smutty.
💗 Accurate bisexual representation that isn’t rooted in offensive stereotypes that result in the character being confused by her feelings. I love a bi queen and it’s hard to find books that don’t inevitably erase the bisexual characters’ romantic feelings or agency. Props to Jones for this.
💗 I like the realistic look at the price of fame and professional sports. The author did a nice job infusing the book with details that are critical to athletes at this level - things like the competition for sponsorships and contracts, the amount of money it takes to get to this level of the sport and stay there, and all the un-glamorous moments between sets. Meg Jones didn’t shy away from showing the downside of being a professional athlete either; using chapter breaks to chronicle the growing online discourse around the two women and their relationship to give the reader a glimpse into what life is really like when they aren’t out winning grand slams. A constant reminder and a cautionary tale about the destructive power of social media and its ability to craft and fan a rumor into a full-blown narrative.

The meh:
💗 I prefer a bit more showing rather than telling in my romances - there were moments when the characters should have used their actions to express how they were feeling but instead the reader got a lot of “Ines felt this” or “Chloe was anxious about this.” There were plenty of times when the reader could have benefited from getting a bit more “in the characters’ heads” through the dual-POV structure. There were times I felt like I would get pulled out of the story because the characters were narrating instead of interacting with each other in a normal way.
💗 Some of the side characters are too black and white and not given agency or complexity - there’s not a lot of room for depth in Chloe’s family or Ines’ friends, for instance. Chloe’s parents are a great example of this: they go out of their way to pay for Chloe and everything she needs in her rise to fame, but are seemingly so harsh and unsupportive of her that they’ve bullied her in her journey. I want to know more about their relationship and what happened to make it this way, but her father is portrayed as quite evil when I think Jones could have done more to explore Chloe’s background and how it’s impacted her
💗 The most nit-picky note, but I did laugh out loud when Ines could identify a wine (including the vineyard and vintage) based on the look of it in a glass. Girl, come on, we know you love wine, but no one is that good at a blind tasting.

Overall, this was fun and easy to read and if you’re looking for a series to take your mind off of two hot queer hockey players, this might be exactly what you need. I wasn’t bowled over by it and there were moments that I definitely had to suspend disbelief in terms of how their story unfolded, but it kept me entertained.

It’s worth mentioning that if you are particularly sensitive to stories that reference anxiety and depression, or scenarios with family manipulation, bullying (including cyber bullying), and emotional abuse, proceed with caution. They are both handled with sensitivity and are not very graphic, but just know they are there.

Beta read and wowow yall are in for a TREAT

[Gabe · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is another amazing book in the Game, Set, and Match series by Meg Jones! Tennis star Ines Costa, who was a supporting character in the two previous books in this series, is struggling to rebound in the tennis rankings after an injury to her wrist. Chloe Murphy is an up and coming player taking the tour by storm, but is quickly becoming known as a hothead with poor sportsmanship. Chloe and Ines are rivals who often meet in early rounds of tournaments and Chloe always manages to pull out the win. The media and fans have continued to pit them against each other. Between that and Chloe dating Ines' best friend/mixed doubles partner, Ines is not Chloe's biggest fan. After randomly being thrown together at a charity tennis tournament in the Hamptons, the ice slowly starts to soften between the two and Ines is able to help Chloe finally get a handle on her emotions during matches. Chloe's coach/brother sees this and brings Ines onto Chloe's team as her hitting partner. Cue the slow burn romance as the two try to stay away from each other but eventually are unsuccessful. Fans, the media, and member's of both players teams threaten to tear them apart. In the second half of the book, readers follow along as they attempt to keep their relationship private while also building a strong relationship foundation.

Overall, I thought this book had a great storyline and I enjoyed getting updates on characters from the first two books of this series. The characters are engaging and multi-dimensional with intriguing inter-personal relationships that kept me on my toes. I can't wait for the next book in this series to come out and to read more about the tennis players in the Game, Set, and Match world Meg Jones has created. For readers who aren't tennis fans, I would recommend spending a few minutes reading about tennis scoring, tournament scheduling, and how tournament structure works as it will make your reading experience more enjoyable.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an early release copy of this book!

How. Freaking. Sweet. This is my first book from this author, and she hit it out of the park! Set Point was such an easy, lighthearted read that left me wanting more. The sports rivalry genre has never particularly interested me… until now.

I loveddd the development of Chloe and Ines’ relationship. I think it can be difficult to write a rivals to lovers trope where the progression between the two characters feels natural, but Meg Jones did it just right! Not only were they professional rivals, but Ines had a valid reason to dislike Chloe at the start, which made the build-up between them all the better. The yearning, witty banter, and outright flirting before getting together was literally everything. A hot-head on the court who can only be calmed down by one person??? I’m swooning. Also, the wine date. That’s all I’ll say. 🍷

I’m very into pop-culture, so I loved the article bits and social media comments in between chapters. It helped to immerse myself in the world, but then nothing was really built off of it. The Chloe side plot felt a little bit rushed and somewhat unresolved. That sweet girl deserved so much better.

My favorite thing in all of this though is that Ines and Chloe communicated with each other the entire time. For a rivals to lovers, it was pretty low-angst; the relationship wasn’t rushed, they supported one another, and best of all— there was no third act breakup.

I hope this author writes more sapphic romances in the future because I completely devoured this one in less than a day!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC. All thoughts are my own.

[ReaderGirly❤️ · Rating 4 out of 5]

The premise of this book sounded super interesting. Two rival tennis players, playing against each other on the court, and playing for each other's heart off of it (cheesy, I know lol). And it's WLW? Oh baby, I was INVESTED! The beginning of the book was really good. Lots of tension between Chloe and Ines considering Chloe stole Ines best friend and her sponsorship, and her heart, when she kissed her and never called her back. However, their tension from the beginning was resolved too early on in the story and there was a bit of a lull after they started working together and Ines was helping Chloe turn her anger around. Which, being honest, I still didn't quite understand because why would you want to help your competition...? This is also not one of those books to read to understand tennis either by the way, so a lot of that world is left underdeveloped in places. But I loved how Ines gained her confidence on the court back and even placed second in a finals game when in the beginning of the book, she thought her career was over. I hated how Selene betrayed her, but Ines truly was my favorite character from the story and her continued strength and perseverance throughout the story really shined through. I also really liked Chloe and felt like her maturity over the book was believable and well done. There was always this childishness to her, not necsarily a bad thing, but by the end, she felt like a woman. Especially considering she and Ines got MARRIED!! Ahhh I loved the ending, and especially the "clitnotes" with the spicy chapters (and trust me honey, they are SPICY)

[Nicole (NicoleIsBooked) · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am a huge tennis fan, and I have enjoyed the books in this series. I reread the first two books before reading this one. Both characters are introduced in the other books, and I would recommend reading those to get more of a context for Ines and Chloe. Each book in the series takes place at a different major tennis event, and this one takes place at the U.S. Open.

I loved all of the descriptions of tennis, and that's what drew me into the story. Chloe and Ines are rivals, but we find out that they kissed each other a year ago. I loved the bi and lesbian rep in the story, and setting them up as rivals who have kissed each other added an interesting dynamic.

I didn't like that when we meet Chloe, she has a situationship going on with a man named Henrik. It is explained that they are friends with benefits and fake dating in a way, but it seemed like a strange way to start a story.

When Chloe is stuggling, she hires Ines as her hitting partner. As they train together, they start to get closer. They make friendship bracelets for each other, and they exchange them before matches. When they start dating in secret, they are so sweet and spicy together.

There was a lot going on in the story, and I feel like it was hard to focus on the couple. Chloe struggles with pressure from her family and depression.

Overall, I liked the story, and I look forward to the next book in the series.

[Kate Laycoax · Rating 4 out of 5]

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, Meg Jones, and Avon for the eARC of this book.

I am so sad to be DNFing this book at 50%.

Disclaimer: I’ve loved this author and the first two books in this series but this hit a breaking point for me.

First, I tried to understand why I felt no chemistry between these two characters. I think it comes down to two things. 1. Ines is a flat character. Outside her feud with Chloe she has no personality traits. 2. Their interactions felt extremely platonic, even when they were allegedly flirting.

Second, I was bored. There was nothing keeping me fully engaged with this book. While I love the commitment to tennis, they just went from one match to practice to another match to practice. This structure didn’t put our characters into any interesting or different scenarios.

Third, and a slight spoiler but it’s what broke this camel’s back, I felt like one of the characters went too far. In a scene, one character throws an object at the wall next to another character. Not only does she not apologize, but jokes that it’s a warning. So we can’t even act like it was on accident. The reason for the anger was also extremely overblown. It was my final straw for not enjoying this book at all.

I won’t be giving it an official rating because I didn’t complete the book, but I’m very very sad.

[HeadCanonHeadCase · Rating 4 out of 5]

Inés feels like she fading in tennis world. And worst of all, her rival Chloe is rising; beating her on the court and securing endorsement deals with her former sponsors. Worst of all, Chloe ghosted Inés after an intense kiss at a post-tournament party. When Chloe's team offers her a job as a hitting partner, Inés accepts because she's desperate for a way to hang on. But can they work together?

Sapphic rival to lovers sports romance is like music to my ears. I ate up all the delicious tension from Chloe's surprise appearance at the beach house through the hotel room with only one bed. I loved that Inés softened Chloe's sharp edges just be being a friend first. Chloe really didn't have a support system and her parent's seemed to mess with her head by putting her career ahead of seeing her as their daughter. It was so satisfying to watch her find her person in Inés. And then when friendship turned into romance *phew* Their chemistry during the date at the wine bar practically lit my kindle on fire.

Ah! I loved Game Point, and knew I had to get my hands on Set Point the second it was available. I'm so glad I did - this was everything and more. It was filled with palpable tension, sizzling chemistry, and so much fun. It was a quick read, and one I couldn't wait to get back to after work/real life responsibilities. I loved getting to see Inés and Chloe break down their walls, learn how to be vulnerable, and support each other as they navigated their sport, the press and their popularity as professional athletes, and their mental health. It was such a tender, sweet love story, and exceeded every expectation I had.

Fans of Meg Jones and this series will love this, as will those of rivals to lovers stories and sapphic romance. Also! This is perfect for fans of Heated Rivalry looking for their next steamy, emotional LGBTQ+ sports romance. It truly healed the book/show hangover from that show, and made me want this on my screen next. Thank you to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

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.

[Heather Hogan · Rating 5 out of 5]

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!

Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager for the opportunity to read this book and provide an honest review.

If you love, FF romances and Tennis, then this book is for you. Meg Jones is an expert at integrating the tennis matches into the love story and because she does such a great job, and the story just goes so fast.
Ines and Chloe are sort of rivals at the start so it’s sort of a rivals to lovers kind of story and it’s just another terrific look at what I’ve always envisioned the life of an athlete to be. The lack of privacy. The dedication that it takes. The struggles to maintain trust in relationships. I cannot even imagine.
I just know I was rooting for these girls both on and off the court. 🎾🎾❤️❤️
The dual point of view adds so much to the story as each team tries to help their player. I would definitely suggest reading the others in the series 1st before you read this one though. It will be worth it to know the other players. And it looks like there’s going to be one after this. I look forward to the series continuing. Definitely highly recommend this book.

[Aish · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another great book in this series! You don't need to read the previous books to understand what's going on but it sure helps in understanding the backstory/relationships between the characters so I definitely recommend it! I wanted Chloe and Inés together, of course, and in the latter half of the book, you can definitely feel the passion and intensity (their tennis match scene was the best!) but I wasn't entirely sold on the whole Inés forgives Chloe so easily aspect of it all. It felt forced and not realistic at all (at least in such a short time span). That's me overthinking it, I'm sure but regardless, this was a great read, especially for anyone obsessed with tennis romances!

Thank you to Meg Jones, Avon and Harper Voyager | Avon, and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC of this book!

I've been on an mm/sports romance reading spree since Heated Rivalry so when I saw SET POINT on Netgalley I had to request because it's juicy ff enemies-to-lovers in a high stakes environment MY FAVORITE TROPES <33

I loved this!! I loved my girls Chloe and Inés. The tension between them was so well done, and the steam was perfect, delicious, no notes. Especially this scene "Tell me...did he treat you this good?" HAD ME GAGGED

The tennis sequences were lively and immersive - I really enjoyed them. And the side characters (Henrik and Calvin) were supportive and had sweet relationships with the fmc's.

Thank you NetGalley and Bold Strokes for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I enjoyed the overall story, but somewhere along the way it missed what I was really hoping for. The biggest challenge for me was the imbalance in tone—moments of immaturity that suddenly shifted into very mature themes. The contrast felt a bit jarring at times.

That said, the portrayal of both the sport and the romantic elements was strong, and the premise itself had a lot of potential. I just found myself wanting more depth and development from the main characters.

In the end, this book wasn’t quite what I expected, but it still had elements that kept me engaged.

[Brinley · Rating 2 out of 5]

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 :(

This book is sweet and gorgeous, the relationship beautifully built and the prose perfectly fitting the vibe of the book. If I could give it six stars, I would.

I loved that both Chloe and Ines were given room to be complete, complex characters without just being walking disasters. The author could have easily cheapened the characters, but the time and care she put in was clear.

Are you looking for another LGBTQ+ sports romance after Heated Rivalry? Look no further than Set Point! Chloe & Inés story was SO fun!

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.
