Review Card & Book Review – Break Point By Yahrah St. John

She came to serve.

Teagan Williams knows how to take a loss—especially a big one. After the spectacular collapse of her tennis career and her romantic relationship (note to self: betrayal does not go with tennis whites), she put down her racket, picked herself up and started her life over.

But now Teagan’s been asked to compete in her country club’s tournament. And she’s considering it. Because what’s the worst that could happen?

Her ex. The spotlight-stealing almost love of her life. That’s what could happen.

Dominic Fletcher gave up everything for tennis. To be a star, to be the best, to bring in the Benjamins. After all, his entire family is depending on him. So why does he feel so discontent? It’s not until he attends a charity tennis tournament that he understands why. Teagan.

Now Teagan and Dominic are taking their differences out on the court—and off. Because despite their past, their chemistry sparks hotter than ever. But getting a chance to even the score is one thing. Playing to win is an entirely different game…

About The Author

My Review

This second-chance romance follows former tennis stars Teegan and Dominic, whose relationship ended years ago after an injury forced her to leave the sport. When they reunite at a charity tournament, Dominic seizes the opportunity to reconnect by suggesting they play doubles together.

While the premise is intriguing, the story struggles with repetitive conflicts and a lack of communication between the main characters. Teegan dwells on past betrayals, but the details of her supposed “outcast” status remain unclear. Despite rekindling a physical relationship, meaningful conversations about their past are delayed until the very end. Additionally, Teegan’s family dynamics, particularly her mother’s sudden shift in agency, feel inconsistent.

Though the book delivers a satisfying happily-ever-after, the pacing and unresolved tensions hinder its impact. More direct communication between the characters could have strengthened the story’s emotional depth.
