Dallas-based restaurateur Jemma Toscano’s focus on work is as sharp as her knife skills. Publicly she’s the bad-girl finalist of Chef Supreme, but her personal life is a hot mess, and commitment’s not on the menu.
Middle school English teacher Kit Gallagher’s got the single dad thing down pat. He wants his daughter to have the stable homelife he never had. Unfortunately, he’s made her a promise—he’ll find her a new mom, by Christmas.
After rescuing each other from horrible dates, Jem and Kit form an unlikely friendship and ignore the sexual tension between them. But they’re simultaneously chatting on an anonymous dating app.
When Kit realizes Jem is his online connection, he’s torn between confessing or seeing if she falls for him IRL too. With a job offer that’ll have Jem traveling nonstop, he has to act fast. Can Kit convince Jem they can have it all? Or will she choose life on the road and close her heart for good?

In her designer shoes and power suits, Vivien Monroe couldn’t be more out of place in the video game company she inherited from her eccentric father. Not only does she have to sort out her father’s last request and deal with a younger sister she barely knows, she has to go toe-to-toe with her father’s protégé—a man who makes her think about the last thing she should be thinking about right now. With his thick-framed glasses and graphic tees, Liam Hale is the exact opposite of what she needs right now. His relaxed, out-of-the-box attitude reminds her too much of her father’s more exasperating quirks, but his dedication and quiet stubbornness begin to drive her crazy in a completely different way. All Vivien wants is to get back to her life in New York, but someone is stealing the company’s best game ideas, and an FBI agent is sniffing around. She’ll save her father’s legacy for her sister and then she’s out of there—if she can leave Liam behind.

““FAIR GAME is so much fun. I love an entertaining ice princess and the geek love story! I laughed. I cried. I even banged my head against the table a few times! Taylor Lunsford delivers a heart wrenching, hella-hot romance that’s hard to put down! Seriously. If you love swoon-worthy geeky guys, sassy yet savvy girls, and a sexy banter in spades, then this book is for you!” ”
“Later Alpha Males, Nerd Boy is here! While I love the Alpha Male as much as the next girl there is something unreasonably sexy about a guy who loves his mom, his dog, and is willing to let his girl do things her way (unless she’s really screwing things up). Not that Vivian is the type of woman who would let a guy take over I love how Liam offers support and assistance without sweeping in and solving the problem. Girl Power!
Liam and Viv throw sparks like the 4th of July from the first meeting and don’t disappoint. Their different styles and personalities match in a way you wouldn’t expect them to without feeling forced or awkward. A perfectly paced romance with elements of suspense this book does not disappoint. Taylor Lunsford is now a permanent fixture on my One-Click list.”
Emerson Grace has rallied her way through the ranks of the world's top tennis players, but she's yet to reach the ultimate goal--winning a Grand Slam. She's done coming in second--both on and off the court. At least that was the plan until someone leaks risqué photos of her right as her ex Rob Ashton returns to the tennis scene.
Rob's had nine years to regret letting Em go, and nothing is going to stand in the way of proving she's the only match he wants to win. Giving the man who makes her body melt another chance is tempting, but Em has to decide if letting Rob win her heart is worth risking her chance to win a Grand Slam.

“Ah, sports romance. The romance above all others that involves the “I can’t be distracted so I can’t have a relationship” trope. Love. Set. Match. is no different, so the question becomes, is the reason for the skittishness compelling? Is the story compelling?
I really enjoyed this read. It had the right level of emotional angst plus the right level of drama. Which is to say, not too much of either.”
“I’m not really a regular romance reader, but Love. Set. Match. really grabbed me in just the first few chapters, and I honestly couldn’t put it down! Lunsford creates really likable characters that are witty and driven, and some truly villainous antagonists that add some thrills and plot curves where a reader might not expect them. Most of all, I love how the hero and heroine’s families are a vital part of their lives (and the plot!) and there is realistic, healthy support, conflict, and growth between those family members. Couldn’t recommend this more, ESPECIALLY to tennis fans!”
