And this year he has the Boat Race to win.
Kate Astley also has her future mapped out. Fly half-way across the world, and win a scholarship at Cambridge University to study medicine. Oh, and crew for the legendary Boat Race. Seems simple enough.
But then she meets Arthur.
For Arthur, this feisty American challenges everything he's been taught to believe, while Kate battles between what she's expected to do, and what she wants to do.
The bitter rivalry between their universities ought to destroy them. Or will it just be a matter of time before they surrender to the sizzling chemistry between them?

Customer Reviews
See AllOar than friends
Fun book with great characters—people I’d like to hang with.
Off to the Races!
I enjoyed this book so much. I've read plenty of stories taking place at either Oxford or Cambridge over the years (mostly mysteries); it was especially fun to read a story that featured both competition and camaraderie between the two schools. And eventually romance, of course. And I'm sure I've never read a sports romance centered around rowing - so creative and interesting!
Those are just the wonderful broad brush strokes of this novel. Kate and Oz are so much fun! Their meet-cute is hilarious, and their trials and tribulations make for great reading. I can imagine meeting them and their circle of friends and having great times. Ms. Moore does a wonderful job making the reader feel like the most careful observer, seeing all the action and following characters' thought processes. I think I even felt tired just reading about all their workouts!
I am definitely looking forward to reading further installments in this series.
I was gifted an ARC and asked to submit a review - certainly pleased to do so!

I absolutely loved this book! This book was such a great read & I loved Oz and Kate’s story. I never realized I would enjoy a book about rowers, but here I am.
Kate is a recent transplant from the US, coming over to Brittan for school. She just wanted to make her parents proud, Oz was not part of the plan. But the best plans go a bit haywire. Especially when it turns out you are both from rival teams.
Oz was definitely the perfect book boyfriend & I loved his interactions with Kate.
This whole book was so sweet, entertaining, hilarious & just an all around great read. I can’t wait to see where this series goes next.
