Game, Set, Match by Nana Malone is the perfect example of a plot done well. This contemporary, interracial romance features a photographer and a tennis star. It intricately weaves in and out of present and past events with subplots that connect into a cohesive and riveting story. The many layers of the plot kept the story entertaining to the very end. The characters were also complex and credible and their personalities are well thought out, which further brought them to life. I loved that despi...more
Secrets and lies threaten to keep old flames a part in this sexy contemporary romance by Nana Malone.
Photographer Izzy Connors and tennis star Jason Cartwright are both running from their pasts. When Izzy is hired to photograph Jason for Sports Illustrated, however, they can’t escape the mistakes of their youth or the pretend they don’t still feel something for each other. The resulting story takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride with witty dialogue, scorching love scenes and a couple of bru...more

Lena’s Review
Izzy Connors is a woman no one forgets, not even if they’re drunk. This is something that tennis star Jason Cartwright knows for a fact. He’s dated many women since he became a star but none have compared like Izzy. He knows what he did years ago was a stupid move to just leave her. Now he has a chance to get his woman back but there is a problem. Paparrazi are everywhere and won’t leave him alone to court her. He doesn’t know what happened to Izzy but the photographer is nothing l...more

Izzy Conners has been raising the now teenage Nick, pretty much his whole life. Although not his birth mother, he has lived with her and she has cared and loved him as if he was her own. Sabrina, Nick’s biological mother has issues of drug abuse and dropping off the face of the Earth at convenient times. Izzy is acting currently as a foster mother, never being able to convince the courts to proceed with adoption. Izzy often wonders if it is because she is black, and Nick is white – but the court...more
I really enjoyed how this book was very different from most of the others out right now. Of course it had the things that make every book a good read... Sex, love, and drama, but I loved the fact that Nana Malone touched on the subject of interracial relationships and how some people are still so judge mental and ignorant about others. There were some parts of the story that were very predictable, but overall the book was well written and so funny. I loved how strong and independent Izzy was and...more
I received this book for free through First Reads. I really liked it. I found myself having a hard time putting it down; I could not wait to find out how the story went for Izzy and Jason. I have a terrible habit of reading ahead, especially when I like the story and simply can't wait, so I read ahead a bit and I found that my idea of where the story was going, based on the snippets that I read, was wrong. I was pleasantly surprised by this once I figured out how the story really unfolded. Time...more
So love Nana Malone and her books. I give this book a generous 3.5 stars. Izzy and Jason had a long journey to find each other and get their lives straight. Izzy loves really hard but maybe too hard for her own good. She allowed Sabrina to take advantage of her love for her son Nick and Jason. Loved every click of my Kindle.
It was a good read. Drag on little long for me. I put it down several times but I'm a nosey person so I pick it back up. I recommended if u have patient. Good story but predictable. I had to finish to be sure I predict correctly.
I absolutely loved it! Great, steamy story that I barely put down. I very highly recommend!
This book was a good quick read. A little predictable, but good writing and a good story made it quite enjoyable.
Game, Set, Match is a funny, predictable but sweet story that is well written and entertaining. The characters have heart and while there were no laugh-out-loud moments I had to smile a lot while reading the novel.

Nana's love of all things romance and adventure started with a tattered romantic suspense she borrowed from her cousin. It was a sultry summer afternoon in Ghana, and Nana was a precocious thirteen. She's been in love with kick butt heroines ever since. With her overactive imagination, and channeling her inner Buffy, it was only a matter a time before she started creating her own characters.
