#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?

      Bestseller Bailey (Same Time Next Year) hits a hole-in-one with this charming golf-themed rom-com. Josephine Doyle, a perennially cheerful golf instructor and pro shop owner in Florida, is a superfan of surly pro golfer Wells Whitaker. Though he was once the hottest player on the tour, Wells’s game has been headed south for two years, but Josephine still believes he’ll turn it around (in his estimation, she might be “the last person on planet Earth pulling for him”). After she wins a contest for lunch with Wells, she’s ecstatic—until Wells quits the tour and stands her up. When a hurricane hits Palm Beach, Josephine’s shop is badly damaged—and both insurance for the shop and health coverage for her type 1 diabetes have lapsed. A remorseful Wells offers to give her the money to repair the shop, but Josephine insists on earning it as his caddie. As they work together, their explosive attraction becomes undeniable and Wells gets his swing back. Bailey does a convincing job of showing how the power of love transforms Wells from golf’s bad boy to satisfied partner who’s as concerned with Josephine’s blood sugar level as she is. Wells and Josephine are characters readers will embrace, especially fans of the grumpy/sunshine trope. This one’s a keeper. Agent: Laura Bradford, Bradford Literary.

      Unlike washed-up golf pro Wells Whitaker's swing, narrator Callie Dalton shoots par on her performance of this audiobook. When Wells's career hits a low, he asks superfan Josephine Doyle to caddy for him. Dalton's delivery of Wells's and Josephine's steamy chemistry is electric, as is their snarky repartee. Listeners will sink deep into their swoony romance. Josephine's voice is both sweet and tart, while Wells's has a blunt tone filled with secret amusement. Both are fun to listen to. As Wells and Josephine face conflicting career goals and personal demons, Dalton nicely paces their adventures on and off the course. There's no slowing down on the back nine for this power couple's journey. A sports romance with pure heart is well delivered by Dalton. C.A. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine

      Starred review from June 1, 2024

      Wells Whitaker might be "golf's resident bad boy," but his number one fan, Josephine Doyle, knows that there's a charitable Prince Charming under that facade--though she might not realize just how far under. Armed with her fangirl arsenal of enthusiasm, persistence, and snacks, Josephine takes the reins as Wells's caddy, determined to see him restored to his former golfing glory and garner some much-needed funds for her family's pro shop in the bargain. It doesn't take long, however, for things to start heating up both on and off the course. Bailey (Wreck the Halls) presents the first installment in her "Big Shots" sports romance series. With a playful sunshine-meets-surly plot and a heat level that sizzles, this engaging and upbeat story is sure to delight. Narrator Callie Dalton's expressive performance of this heartwarming tale is a hole-in-one. From sweet to sexy, she captures every alluring moment. VERDICT This audio will appeal to listeners seeking a steamy, sporty rom-com about tough choices and second chances. Recommended for fans of Elle Kennedy, Amy Lea, and Chloe Liese.--Lauren Hackert
