A review by elvang
The Long Shot by A.L. Brooks
4.0
Am I the only golfer to review this book? Surprise, surprise I really enjoyed it. Unlike many who have reviewed this before me, I wanted more scenes on the golf course, more rivalry for Morgan and more nail biting finishes to prove she is the best in the game. But of course this is a romance and the sport is just a vehicle to get our two mains together.
I enjoy reading or in this case listening (audiobook on Scribd) to a book when I like both mains. Adrienne is as charming as Morgan is competitive. I loved how Adrienne was self conscious about their age difference both in what her friends would think of her dating someone so much younger and what Morgan would see when they finally reached those intimate scenes. Both were honest and upfront about their worries. That was nice communication, something so rare in lesfic romance.
This is a slow burn romance, slowed down even more by the machinations of the evil ex and Morgan's horrid father. If I have a beef with the book it's that you can see the trouble looming for both women from the 18th green. It does add to the tension but maybe detracts from the romance.
The voice actor was okay with the voices of the mains but the secondary characters needed more variation. I'm pretty sure there was a European golfer in the competition but I heard little attempt at an accent.
A fun read for fans of the sport and those like me who love a good age-gap romance since hope springs eternal.
