Although I've read hockey, soccer, and football romances, Tessa Bailey's newest book FANGIRL DOWN is set in a new sport for me- professional golf. Josephine Doyle is Wells Whitaker's biggest fan. Even though Wells has declined from the number one golfer in the world to barely hanging on, she never misses the chance to wave a sign and encourage him when the tour stops in her home state of Florida. When Wells loses his temper again and walks off the tour, he finally pushes her away with his characteristic grumpy and nasty attitude. He wakes up with a hangover and a desire to check in with Josephine after a major hurricane sweeps through South Florida. Josephine is struggling to handle her family golf pro shop and her type one diabetes without worrying her parents or losing control. Wells proposes she becomes his caddy so she can rebuild the shop and help him regain his swing. As Josephine finds the broken, caring man behind the gruff, angry exterior, Wells falls hard and the relationship develops. Enjoyed the fast-paced story even the focus on the sport's toxic masculinity. Loved the long-look epilogue! The author sets up the best friends as the main characters for the next book in the "BIG SHOTS" series, THE AU-PAIR AFFAIR, coming in July. Can't wait to read it.
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?
