Rating: 4.5/5 stars 
 
Josephine Doyle is Wells Whitaker’s biggest fan…and then she becomes his caddy in his attempted comeback on the PGA Tour. 
 
I enjoyed this one so much! I never expected that golf could be a particularly sexy or romantic sport, but Tessa Bailey absolutely proved me wrong. Wells is a GEM, and the he-falls-first energy was so strong here. I absolutely melted for how much he cared for Josephine, and all the gestures large and small that helped show her that she was loved. The chronic illness (diabetes) rep was also great to see. I’m also a sucker for great banter, and this one had that in spades. 
 
As a fun little bonus, I was born in Augusta, Georgia, so all the references to the Masters and the scenes there were a nice treat! Highly recommend. 
 
CW: Chronic illness/disability; some mild violence; mild injury detail; mild sexism

Closed Door Mod: Chapter 16 (some parts), Chapter 22 (some parts), Chapter 26, Chapter 30 (some parts) 

Out of all the Tessa Bailey books I’ve read, I think this might be my favorite. 

Despite the unconventional sport of choice for a sports romance, Bailey is able to come up with an engaging plot and more personable characters. I felt that Bailey’s MCs were more personable with real flaws and emotional depth, and I could really relate to Josephine’s struggles as a disabled person (even though I don’t have Type 1 Diabetes). Fangirl Down is a bit too spicy for me, but I don’t think it was as much compared to other books. 

You would probably like Fangirl Down if you’re looking for a grumpy x sunshine sports romance that has characters with more depth and emotional vulnerability.
