CLEAN POINT Game, Set, and Match, Book 1

A duet narration by Mary Jane Wells and Patrick Zeller as tennis doubles partners Scottie Sinclair and Nico Kotas is double the fun for listeners. Wells digs into Scottie's fall from grace after a Wimbledon win and her personal struggles over her worldwide notoriety. Wells manages to craft Scottie's persona as spunky yet traumatized; she reveals a deep sense of fairness overlaid with wicked humor as Scottie mocks her new practice partner, Nico. Zeller portrays Nico as surly, battle weary, and highly intrigued by Scottie as their initial antagonism softens to respect and an intimate relationship. Their dual narration becomes a duet narration in the intimate scenes, and the shifts are seamless. The high-stakes matches, combined with emotionally realistic narration, make for a winning combination. C.A.
