About this listen

#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey launches a super sexy sports romance series with a rom-com about a bad boy professional athlete who falls for his biggest fan...

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?

I enjoyed this as well as being really emotional in places it was funny and the golf references weren't really technical. Loved the main characters and the diabetes type 1 was dealt with empathetically.

Touching and funny

Although I loved the story and characters, and the narrating was excellent. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. But for me, the sex scenes were too many and too much detail. I like something leftleft to imagination. I could only finish the book by fast forward past them. I’m not sure I would listen to anymore of this authors books.

Loved the story line BUT

Was ok, didn't hate it. Not a massive fan of the man baby trope where a guy can't get his shit together untill the right girl comes along.

Not my favourite

I was pretty sceptical starting this as I thought the “fan girl” concept was silly and unrealistic but this is one of the best recent sports romances I have read. Tessa Bailey made the “fan girl work! I have been often left exasperated by some of the ice hockey novels but as someone who works in the sports industry I am a glutton for punishment! I love golf and wanted to see how it worked as a setting for a love story and it was great. I usually am not a fan of the Grumpy/Sunshine trope but the characters of Wells and Josephine were well drawn enough that it worked and I believed how they fell in love. I liked the aspect of her helping his career and his vulnerability and how Tessa Bailey created a flawed but likeable male lead. My complaints lie with a few ropey plot points (no spoilers!). Also a complaint I have about this “sports romance” genre in general - call me a prude but I think some of the spicier scenes could be cut in half to allow more space for us to see Josephine and Wells on the golf circuit - ie more tournaments/locations to create a sense of place because she didn’t really do that and have more of a realistic amount of time to get to know each other, and also more time to develop side characters. Despite my nitpicking, I would recommend if you enjoy contemporary romance, kudos for the treatment of type one diabetes and for making golf sexy! The sport deserves more love and golf gave this story a freshness and different vibe! Also current with a number of top pros having their partners/wives as caddies…

One of the best of the recent sports romance novels

Loved it! The performance of Wells & Josephine was brilliant, and even more impressive that it was done by a solo narrator

Brilliant narration
