Resumen del Editor

Talented golfer Morgan Spencer has never won a major but it's so close she can taste it - no thanks to her sexist father, a golfing legend who won't even give her the time of day.

Television producer Adrienne Wyatt has thrown herself into her career after her lover left her a year ago. She has a brilliant new plan: a documentary featuring Morgan's rise and rise, capitalizing on the young woman's star appeal.

The main problem is that the reserved golfer treats Adrienne's plan like an invasion of privacy. The other issue is her growing feelings for the irritatingly attractive woman - an unprofessional lapse that would get her ridiculed by her peers if anyone found out.

When things come to a chaotic head, as fierce desires, risked careers, age differences, and dreams all come into play, what will win?

Contains mature themes.

Sports Finally

It’s good to listen to a book where the main characters are athletes. There could have been more to the story though. Perhaps a second book is needed to make this a series.

Loved this book

I was worried that it will be too much sport but it was not. It was excellent

It was just ok....

There aren't enough lesbian, sports audio books! When I saw this title while browsing on audible I decided to give it a try but was a little disappointed. It was OK but the writing wasn't that great, the dialogue wasn't very witty, and the golfer's dad was an asshole... Also the narrator was just OK. There were times I couldn't tell the main characters apart. I finished the book but wasn't very impressed.

What seems like a long shot could be the BEST shot!

Attraction is made up of all kinds of things- trust, conversation, laughs, chemistry- in and out of bed; even a feeling of being “home” with someone. Despite the difference in age, this is a slow burn to quick burn, spicy romance, where the characters are well suited to one another. How this liaison and other relationships affect these character’s careers and their financial opportunities is an interesting part of the story! One criticism, some golfers were referred to as “the Koreans” and that felt reductive. I am probably not alone in wanting to see more diversity and representation in women’s golf but everyone deserves respect. My favorite character is the mom un thus story! You’ll have to listen to se why I say that!

Great love story

Loved all the golf references
Followed all the golf as if an extra caddy
Main character went through so much growth
Loved the special relationship that develops

I liked it... a lot.

So, yeah, it’s a bit sappy. And a bit predictable. And almost too good to be true.... But done so skillfully that rather than a bored yawn it’s an absolute delight.

Cute Golf Romance

Every time I listen to this my heart flutters and I cry at a certain happy point in the story. This was well narrated by Melissa Moran.

Excellent story!

I don’t know much about golf, but it was very refreshing and a good story ❤️❤️❤️

Makes you want to walk the fairways!

This was a very clever age gap sports romance that actually took a look at several issues including family expectations and women’s sports and the general public perception of legitimacy in comparison to men’s.
I wasn’t too keen on the narration just because there was not a lot of differentiation between the characters voices. They all seem to have a New York accent which was fine for Adrian but blended a lot of characters into one. Overall though I was very pleased and would recommend this story to anyone looking for a fantastic listen about women’s golf.

Sweet and awesome

This was a great story and I could feel like I was right there watching the tournaments and it was a love story with some very nice love scenes close to end. Would highly recommend.
