‘Break Point’ by Yahrah St. John is the final book in the ‘Six Gems’ series, following a group of six women who find love whilst realising their independent dreams. I was attracted to this novel because I’m a big tennis fan, and I enjoyed the mentions of Teagan in ‘Going Toe To Toe’ (the previous instalment), and it was a spicy, lighthearted read.

I really enjoyed the scenes with Teagan’s friends, as it was a joy to revel in the success of the loved-up Gems… they excelled as mothers, business owners and brides-to-be while remaining supportive of each other. The strong focus on female friendships is a definite selling point of the series! The chemistry between Dominic and Teagan was strong and had me rooting for a HEA.

As soon as I read about Dominic battling through a grueling “six sets” at the Australian open, I knew this wouldn’t win Grand Slam trophies for its accuracy, so I let various references to the sport wash over me but missed being able to embrace tennis fangirling. Without that element to elevate the story, it was a fun but forgettable romance.

I received an advance Digital Review Copy of this book from the publisher Afterglow Books via NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Clever. Spicy. And full of brilliant characters. Both male and female characters were brilliant,snazzy and sassy. We had a definite strength in our female. But she had such tender parts too. And I loved how our male lead was spicy but caring too.
I love the film Wimbledon when I was younger. And so this automatically grabbed my attention,ha.
It was clever and witty and hit all the right notes to male the plot points hit.

Competitive but make it spicy ❤️‍🔥

Tegan was such a great character. She was very head strong but knew when she needed help. I also found her inner monologues hilarious especially the ones with her family! I LOVED the descriptions of her tennis outfits as well. I enjoyed Dominic’s character and how he supported his family no matter what. He was very encouraging and he knew what he wanted.

It was interesting to read about both of their family dynamics whilst juggling the press and love for each other. The chemistry between Teagan and Dominic was electric on and off the court.

I especially loved the Gems! They were such a strong friendship group who supported Tegan and her struggles. Overall, the pacing was good and it was a lovely romance story.
