All’s Fair in Love and Pickleball Book Launch with Kate Spencer

Kate Spencer&nbsp;is coming to Lovestruck on&nbsp;Monday, July 21&nbsp;for an evening of romance and rivalry as we celebrate the release of her new novel,&nbsp;<a href="https://lovestruckbooks.com/item/1iqMaW6srnPelTAN5qkG0A">All’s Fair in Love and Pickleball</a>! This hilarious and heart-swoony rom-com pits a sunshiney optimist against her longtime rival in a high-stakes pickleball tournament—and sparks fly on and off the court. Kate will be joined in conversation by Boston Globe’s beloved “Love Letters” columnist&nbsp;Meredith Goldstein, making this a perfect match of wit, wisdom, and juicy behind-the-scenes book talk. For a grumpy/sunshine pairing, pickleball puns, enemies-turned-teammates-turned-lovers, a fabulous friend group of retirees, fake dating, and a dash of SPICE,&nbsp;All’s Fair in Love and Pickleball&nbsp;is your perfect summer read!

Her work has been published by the Washington Post, Rolling Stone, InStyle, Esquire, and Cosmopolitan. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two daughters. ABOUT&nbsp;ALL’S FAIR IN LOVE AND PICKLEBALL Pickleball rivalry? Sure. Falling for your fake boyfriend? Now that’s a surprise. Bex Martin’s racquet club is her entire world. But the business she inherited from her mother has started to feel more like a sinking ship. That is, until Nikolaus Karras—a former tennis bad-boy with an ego as big as his serve—makes himself at home on her courts. Niko has something to prove, and a high-stakes pickleball tournament is just what he needs to get back in the game after a career-ending injury. When he is finally able to set his ego aside to ask for Bex’s help, everyone assumes that they are a couple—on and off the court. But she needs the prize money to save the club, and he needs a win to restore his reputation. So now they have a fake relationship as well as a doubles partner that they can’t seem to resist. Game on! <img src="https://img.evbuc.com/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.evbuc.com%2Fimages%2F1051820593%2F2312721413293%2F1%2Foriginal.20250612-173306?h=740&amp;w=1200&amp;auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;q=75&amp;sharp=10&amp;s=e59d69f51c6d86fa10e589dbfba2b848"> ABOUT MEREDITH GOLDSTEIN Meredith Goldstein is a longtime writer for The Boston Globe who also writes other things, including books.
