ABOUT THE BOOK


When the opportunity arises for journalist Tally McKenzie to meet tennis ace Cash Gallagher, she grabs it without hesitation. Desperate for a killer story to advance her career, she’ll have to betray her idol and her own morals into the bargain if she is to succeed.

Renowned bad boy Cash wants one thing; to remain at the top of his game. He’s fought hard to get there, and he’s not about to lose his crown, especially over a woman.

When Cash divulges personal information, Tally seizes her chance and writes an explosive article. Incensed, Cash sets out to get his revenge. Except the darling of centre court gets more than he bargained for—a passionate affair with a woman he should detest.

But Cash is a man with secrets—secrets that could destroy his career. Dare he take the risk? Or is the cost too great, even for his perfect match.

MY REVIEW

WINNING ACE by Tracie Delaney is an explosive, compelling, and addictive contemporary romance that has bestseller written all over it.

Cash Gallagher is the golden boy of the tennis world and has enough arrogance and charm to go alongside his expert talent. Tally McKenzie is working hard to carve out her big break in the world of journalism and when she gets the opportunity she cannot let it slip by her - even if it means compromising what she feels is right and wrong when it comes to her sports idol. But Cash is not a man who is used to being crossed and when he determines to take on Tally head on, he has no idea what he has let himself in for.
For Tally is nothing like the seething bottom feeders of the press that he has imagined her to be, and when they are around each other their chemistry is undeniable. But Cash has secrets that are too dangerous to let slip...
Can he really trust the woman he is starting to depend on? And can Tally really give her all to someone who is always holding something back?

As an avid reader of romance novels, I expect a lot from a book to really keep me gripped, give a new edge to the genre, and sweep me along effortlessly.
But WINNING ACE by Tracie Delaney does that and so much more. The characters are so realistic and well-developed that even when I was irritated by something they did, I never stopped caring about them. I felt their fears, their happiness, their hopes, and their desire (have a fan ready to help ease the flames!) and for me, that is what an excellent romance is all about - the reader becoming a part of the story. The drama, secrecy, and lies are unexpected and definitely give a fresh edge to the tale, and I really enjoyed the sports element - sneaking a peek behind the glamorous world of tennis to the hard work, dedication, and politics behind the facade. 

WINNING ACE by Tracie Delaney is the first book in this compelling new series so the story does not neatly end all packaged up, but with the second book releasing in July, you won't have to wait too long for your Winning Ace fix - and trust me you are desperately going to want it! 

An absolutely outstanding debut, Tracie Delaney is a writer to watch out for as her stories completely enfold you between the pages and transport you to a different place. So what are you waiting for? Time to get clicking!! 


Author Bio:
​

Tracie Delaney is the author of the Winning Ace trilogy. She loves nothing more than immersing herself in a good romance, although she sometimes, rather cheekily, makes her characters wait for their HEA.
 
When she isn’t writing or sitting around with her head stuck in a book, she can often be found watching The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones or any tennis match involving Roger Federer. Her greatest fear is running out of coffee.
 
Tracie studied accountancy, gaining her qualification in 2001. Her maths teacher would no doubt be stunned by this revelation considering Tracie could barely add two plus two at high school.
 
Tracie lives in the North West of England with her amazingly supportive husband. They both share a love of dogs, travel and wine. For more information:

*I was lucky enough to be a beta reader for this truly stunning book and I cannot thank Tracie enough for allowing me to be a very small part of her wonderful journey. Congratulations Tracie!!
