Breaking His Serve: A Sports Rivals-to-Lovers MM Romance (Mesa Boys) Kindle Edition

by Christie Gordon (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 93 ratings

When two rivals come together, more than a tennis game is shaken. Will love or victory triumph on the court?

Chase
This year was supposed to be easy for Chase. Then River walks onto the court, the man he hates. The one who made a fool of him at a tournament last summer.

His coach wants them to play doubles together. Is he nuts?

River thinks he’s going to throw Chase’s game off with snarky comments and crazy antics. Chase won’t let him.

But there’s something wrong with River. He’s sad or moody. Then Chase sees River’s vulnerable side and he’s not sure how he feels.

River
His mother’s cancer diagnosis is eating River alive. His game is shot, and he’s forced to play on the college team with the insufferable bore, Chase.

Yet, he knows he can beat him. If only Chase wasn’t so distracting with his infuriatingly good looks and perfect body.

When Chase’s girlfriend breaks up with him, it might be the perfect time for the ultimate power play.

Not only will River beat him on the court, he’s determined to win his heart.

Breaking His Serve is a standalone novel that is set in the Mesa Boys universe. This novel features a man burned by love and a rebel risk taker, opposites attract, sweet and steamy first times and a spicy Halloween with a maid costume amidst the backdrop of college tennis.

Buy it now if you crave snarky banter, heated rivalries, and unwavering loyalty in the face of adversity!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Christie Gordon is the author of steamy, heartfelt gay romance novels that explore the emotional journey of men discovering themselves and finding love. It all started when she stumbled upon MM fanfiction by accident—and let's just say, it was love at first read. Inspired by the genre's mix of passion and complexity, Christie transitioned from reading about men in love to writing her own stories. After taking fiction writing classes at a local community college, she published her first MM romance novel in 2009 with a small press, and she’s never looked back.

When she’s not writing, Christie watches boys-love dramas, creates digital art, or is serenaded by her snoring one-eyed rescue pug. A graduate of both Electrical Engineering (BS) and Business Administration (MBA), she spends her "day job" navigating the high-tech world, but her heart belongs to the characters who live in her books. Christie currently resides in the Phoenix metro area, though she’s also lived in California’s Bay Area and Minnesota (which probably explains her deep love of pumpkin spiced latte coffees and hockey).

She’s also the proud mother of two young-adult sons who provide plenty of material for stories—usually in the form of chaotic shenanigans. But no matter what, Christie’s always up for a new adventure, whether it's on the page or in the real world.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this book. River's sarcastic flirty side was perfect for Chase's shy side. In the bedroom it was fire. Or wherever they were it was fire. Chase deserves his HEA. And River needs someone for when his mom dies and beyond. They're absolutely perfect for each other.

    River and Chase are goals. They meet as competitors on the court and their fiery back and forth leads to a mutual admiration of their play and then attraction to each other. Chase has struggled with relationships in the past and never makes it beyond the 3 month mark. He finds it hard to trust and sees himself as no fun and unlovable. Then River comes along and shows Chase that he is actually fun and more than lovable. They support each other on the court and push each other to be better resulting in a doubles team that can’t be beat. Chase’s steadfastness is vital to River during a very difficult time taking care of his sick mother. River builds a trust with Chase and realizes he will be there for him when his mom can’t. Chase holds onto his 3 month limit and as they get closer to the mark and to each other, he realizes that River isn’t going anywhere and they can make plans for the future. They may be uncertain of their futures but they know whatever happens, they’ll have each other. This was a fun read, I loved each of their personalities and would love to know what happens in their future, how did things go with Debby, did River and or Chase go pro, is River doing marketing, is Chase an IT guru, did Andy come out of the closet(cuz that would be fun!)? Maybe an epilogue will come out!

    5.0 out of 5 stars better together
    Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2022
    Chase is heading into his senior year the number one on his tennis team in singles and feeling confident. Until he shows up to practice and realizes that River is joining the team. River, who recently beat him in a match. River, who is likely a better player than him. And to add insult to injury the coach is forcing them to team up and play doubles together to help them both improve. Chase tends to be more cautious, River more explosive and more of a risk taker on the court. Chase is not happy. They start out as fierce competitors, Chase fears River will take his number one spot. But over time they grow to see that there are things that they can learn from one another and they challenge and support one another on and off the court. River is dealing with his mother' illness and as they grow closer Chase becomes someone he can lean on to keep it together. Chase, who has had a hard time feeling like he can find someone to go the distance with in life realizes that what he has with River is the real deal. These two bring balance to one another and come to realize that off the court and on they can face whatever because they are better together.
    I received an ARC for an honest review.

    4 Stars 🌟
    This spicy and Oooooo so enjoyable enemies to lovers book turned into so much more!! This was a heartfelt story about love and support for your partner who will inevitably suffer the loss of a parent to cancer....Chase was such a rock for River, who struggled to deal with the care of his mother all while maintaining tennis and school.....in turn River taught Chase what it was like to be loved and to be loved wholly ❤️ This book had several layers and turned out to be such a great story.... I have to say, as I read the ending... it just ended without an epilogue, it was sooo disappointing. IMO this book deserved an epilogue, with that being said..I was well worth the read.

    * I received an ARC from GRR, this is my open and honest review *

    5.0 out of 5 stars Competitive Romance
    Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2022
    4.5 stars rounded up to 5. This was a beautifully written novel that had just the perfect level of competitiveness. River and Chase were such a great couple and I loved River's banter. Normally I don't like when one of the MC's is as insecure as Chase is but it somehow worked in this book. The timing and story development kept the story moving on at a rate that made the book perfect. The only thing I would have changed would have been to have a more detailed epilogue where we could see where the characters were at in a year or 5 years.

    This was a fairly low angst, sweet love story. Chase and River are rivals but underneath is a strong attraction. River is flirty and very outgoing but is hurting because his mother has terminal cancer. Chase is more controlled and insecure when it comes to relationships. I liked that you didn’t have to wait a long time for them to get together and most of the book is focused on them as a couple. There was a situation I wished River would have handled differently but they get past it. I really loved these two together and the ending is so sweet. I received a copy of this book from Gay Romance Reviews and this is my honest opinion.

    4.0 out of 5 stars So much going on
    Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2022
    Competition in high school is always interesting. When they are forced to play as a team, they have to overcome the conflicts. They find they actually work well together. There is a lot of different emotion but at their age that is normal. Such opposite personalities contribute to a lot of the interaction between them. I feel that interaction was pretty entertaining. River dealing with his mom is heartbreaking. There is so many different things going on in this story just as in real life. I find there are quite a few unanswered questions so I hope the author will write something that answers these.

    My first book by Christie Gordon, and I enjoyed it. I do like an enemies to lovers story, and this, was that in spades. Talk about opposites attract! River is like a whirlwind, while Case is much more sober, solemn and serious. However, the two have more in common than they think. This gives us an interesting story, about two guys with issues, family issues, and a sweet love story. Recommended. 4 and a half
