Team Spirit by R J Gould
Synopsis:
Everything seems straightforward enough when an
agreement is reached for the tennis club to hold social events at the
nearby Dream Café while the clubhouse is being rebuilt.
When the current chairman is forced to resign, Laurie, his young and inexperienced deputy, is left in charge, accepting the role on condition that the attractive Helen is prepared to support him as the new deputy.
The pair face an unprecedented run of challenges. The builder is failing to deliver on time. A player’s dubious line calls are infuriating opponents. The WhatsApp group has become a hotbed of salacious gossip. A middle-aged flirt is offending the young female members. And poor behaviour at the Dream Café is threatening the agreement.
Helen and Laurie are struggling to cope, though tennis club problems are a distant second for Helen as she attempts to start a relationship with Laurie. She’s sure he also wants that but something major is going on in his life to prevent progress. What is that something and can it be overcome?

Team Spirit was another good and enjoyable tale by R J Gould.
I especially like how this author expertly mix amusing and serious subjects to build up a flowing and compelling storyline.
This novel tells Laurie and Helen story, how they become chairman and deputy chairman of their tennis club after the uproar caused by the previous ones. They share the same interest for each other but they don't show it, maybe spending more time together solving the club's problems will bring them closer and closer.
I adored Laurie and Helen. My favourite is Laurie, with his messy life, shy attitude and a heart of gold. Helen is accepting and forgiving more than once, because she can really understand him. They complete each other and they are ready to help one another when the ocasion rises.
I was drawn into this story right away and didn’t put it down until I finished it, so I recommend it.
