Wells Whitaker, once golf's rising star, has hit rock bottom. But his biggest mistake was letting his fangirl, Josephine Doyle, walk away. Determined to turn his game around, he proposes an unconventional plan: she becomes his new caddy. As they spend time together on and off the green, sparks fly, and Wells starts winning again. But with their complicated dynamic, is a romance between them even possible?

This was my first dive into golf sport romance, and surprisingly, I didn't find it boring at all! I'm usually all about hockey, football, and baseball romances, so venturing into golf territory was new for me. I enjoyed the dynamic of she falls first, he falls harder, and the grump x sunshine trope always gets me. However, I did stumble a bit with how dependent he became on her towards the end. It felt a tad forced, but overall, I still loved the book and had a great time with it! Can't wait to see what's next, especially with her hockey romance on the horizon!
