You Give Good Game: A Rivals to Lovers Contemporary Romance
Grace Steele lit up the screen as a child star. Toby McAvoy burned up the slopes snowboarding in the Olympics. Now they share one goal: to win the coveted one million dollar prize on reality TV’s Celebrity Charity Champions. Only one of them can walk away with the cash. Without the prize money, Grace will have to shutter her senior animal rescue sanctuary, and Toby won’t be able to help any more disabled athletes.
All’s fair in love and reality TV, and Grace and Toby’s scorching chemistry makes for great ratings. It’s also a huge distraction from what matters most: winning. Can these two worthy competitors keep their eyes on the prize and resist their very real connection?

Claire Marti has done it again, with another fast-paced and fun summer romance! This one features Toby and Grace and a host of other contestants appearing on “Celebrity Charity Champions,” where the winner earns one million dollars for their charity of choice. The sparks between the pair fly from the moment their eyes meet – or at least they start when air turbulence lands Grace right in Toby’s lap on the plane ride to the private Greek island where the competition is held. Toby’s an ex-Olympic snowboarder who runs a charity for injured athletes, and Grace was a child sitcom star who now runs a nonprofit animal rescue. Their connection is immediate – and immediately obvious to the reality show producers who then throw them together at every opportunity. Sparks make good t.v. after all! (And great reading!)
This is a fast-paced, flirty, and totally fun read, and makes for excellent beach reading! 5 sun-soaked stars for this great summer read!

After reading The Wonder of You, I was hoping Toby would find his love after his best friends found love together. And this time, we get a beautiful location to serve as a backdrop to this rivals-to-lovers romance. Toby and Grace are both competing on a reality TV show to raise money for charity. The chemistry is impossible to ignore! But if they give into their desires, they could lose sight of their initial goals. Such a fun read that gives you an escape from reality!
