Review:

So cute! As always, I love a good sports romance, which is ironic because I don't really like sports. But this had the nice Tessa Bailey charm to it, with a grump and sunshine. The only thing I noticed about this book, though, is that it is remarkably similar to Fix Her Up (one of Tessa Bailey's other books). While I do appreciate having a style as an author, this was a little too similar. It had almost the same plot and storyline, with the brother's best friend trope being replaced with the hot-for-boss trope. It was hard to separate the books. I did very much like reading this, but I wish she had gone a little further outside her comfort zone to create some variety within her stories.

Trigger Warnings:
mentions of religious topics, cheating (off-page), divorce, self-isolation, a family member going through terminal illness

Synopsis From Book:

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?
