Is Romance a Sport with winners and losers?

Is Romance a Sport? Do some people play the game better than others?

Maryanne Peters explores this dynamic with eighteen short stories in her eleventh collection. There are tales of football (more than one kind), ice-skating, basketball, golf, soccer and even cricket. We have equestrian-eventing, skate-boarding, motor-racing, competitive fitness, cheerleading and darts. There are even stories about fishing and cards.

And in all of the stories, the real contest may be romance.
