# This fortnight we're reading the novel The 7-10 Split: A Sapphic Rivals to Lovers Sports Romance (Peach Blossom Book 1) by Karmen Lee

Ex-childhood best friends and competitors reunite and are forced to work together. I personally love a rivals - to - lovers trope more than an enemies - to - lovers. Real enemies die fighting, but rivals...there's space for healthy attraction. Not sure how sexy bowling is, but let's see! Friendly Rivals - to - Lovers, Contemporary Sports Romance, Forced Proximity, F/F

The book can be found here as an ebook on Kindle Unlimited:[ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CBVKYBL2/](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CBVKYBL2/)

SYNOPSIS:
For teacher Ava Williams, some subjects are not up for debate. Like history—specifically, the one she has with Grace Jones, bowling pro and local celeb. Who is now, for no identifiable reason, teaching at the same small-town Georgia high school as Ava. Once upon a time, they were thick as thieves, best friends, rivals who pushed each other, and total bowling nerds. Then they shared a kiss, sweet and confusing…and after that, they split and nothing was ever the same.

Ava is pretty sure she has every reason to hate Grace. Especially when the school’s soggy potato of a principal announces—finally—that the students can have the bowling team Ava has been pushing for, for years…only to hand it to Grace.

Now they’re expected to be partners and lead their new bowling team to victory in six months. And with that, their rivalry is back. Fierce, ultracompetitive…and with an undeniable attraction that pushes, pulls and crashes together. It’s history. It’s chemistry. And it’s just a matter of time before it explodes…one way or the other.

The 7-10 Split is a spicy, fast-paced romance you can read in one sitting.
