Review of Her Advantage by Hannah Bicknell

What better way to start Wimbledon season than with a spicy sports romance revolving around the upcoming tennis heartthrob and possibly the only woman in England who hates him? Having had her promotion delayed due to an unfortunate encounter, Leo is fuming when she’s tasked with assisting tennis star, George.

But as their time together grows and hate turns into affection and intimacy, they realise they’re falling for each other. Long held secrets and fears are shared during their time in France as he makes his comeback on the court.

But not everything is smooth sailing. Care turns into heartbreak as external forces meddle and spew venom, striving to keep them apart. Will the forces win out or will their love overcome their differences?

A wonderful story filled with positive examples of male friendships and non-stereotypical portrayals of mental health issues and combating them.
