Blurb
Wells Whitaker was once golf's hottest rising star, but lately, all he has to show for his "promising" career is a killer hangover, a collection of broken clubs, and one remaining supporter. No matter how bad he plays, the beautiful, sunny redhead is always on the sidelines. He curses, she cheers. He scowls, she smiles. But when Wells quits in a blaze of glory and his fangirl finally goes home, he knows he made the greatest mistake of his life. Josephine Doyle believed in the gorgeous, grumpy golfer, even when he didn't believe in himself. Yet after he throws in the towel, she begins to wonder if her faith was misplaced. Then a determined Wells shows up at her door with a wild proposal: be his new caddy, help him turn his game around, and split the prize money. And considering Josephine's professional and personal life is in shambles, she could really use the cash...
As they travel together, spending days on the green and nights in neighboring hotel rooms, sparks fly. Before long, they're inseparable, Wells starts winning again, and Josephine is surprised to find a sweet, thoughtful guy underneath his gruff, growly exterior. This hot man wants to brush her hair, feed her snacks, and take bubble baths together? Is this real life? But Wells is technically her boss and an athlete falling for his fangirl would be ridiculous... right?

My Thoughts:
There was no question I was going to read this because I adore Tessa Bailey but I did have a moment where I wondered if golf could be sexy. I shouldn't have doubted Tessa Bailey because wow was this book sexy! It was also emotional and the perfect sports romance I didn't realize I needed.
People criticize romance for being predictable but what they don't realize is sometimes that is a good thing. This book does a wonderful job delivering exactly what you expect while also making you love the characters, enjoy the steamy scenes, and be rooting for the HEA. Just because I know the moment the heroine moans because of something not sexual the hero is going to walk in and then be tortured thinking about it doesn't mean I don't enjoy that happening!
I loved Josephine and Wells so much! If you like grumpy sunshine, this one is for you! I loved how much Josephine's support meant to Wells and how hard he falls!! I also loved that Josephine had a great reason for being a fangirl. It's a spoiler so I'm not to tell you what it is I'm just going to say you should read it and find out because it's pretty great!
I can't wait for the next one and for this one to be out so I can fangirl about it with all my book friends. Ironically I am now I fangirl for Fangirl Down.
Thank you so much to Avon and Netgalley for gifting me this title early in order to write a review. All opinions are my own.
