Review: Going for the Hole by L.P. Dover


Note: An advanced reader copy (ARC) was provided by the author via Give Me Books Promotions.

I love watching several different kinds of sports, but there's one sport in particular that my family and friends find strange--golf. The sport itself isn't what they think is weird; it's the fact that I actually love watching it. Okay, maybe not every single tournament; I'm not that avid of a fan. I enjoy watching the major tournaments, the ones that bring in the most viewers because they're considered the most prestigious. So, when I found out L.P. Dover was going to release a sports romance novel with golf as the sport, well, I got a rather goofy grin on my face. I've enjoyed reading Dover's books, and I love that she went for a sport that isn't considered popular romance fodder.

Going for the Hole is a standalone read featuring Lucas Montgomery, a professional golfer who happens to be the top player in the world. Nicknamed "Ace", he's spent the past nine years swinging his...golf club...and while he loves the sport, he's growing a wee bit wearisome and desperately needs a break. So, why not spend a few weeks doing nothing more than kicking back with friends and playing golf for fun? When he gets knocked out by, of all things, a pink golf ball, he's immediately taken by his rescuer, Dr. Ashley Locke. He'd love nothing more than to get a hole in one with Ashley, but she tells him she isn't interested. It's time for Lucas to get at par with the hot doctor.

I thoroughly enjoyed this golf romance! Lucas and Ashley's story wasn't your "usual" sports romance read, and I'm always one for reading something new from a favorite author. These two main characters were more than likable, and I loved that they challenged one another time and again, making for entertaining moments throughout. Sure, they were two successful individuals who didn't have a heck of a lot in common, but then Lucas proving to Ashley that they deserved a shot at seeing where a relationship between them would lead was exactly why I felt this was as good of a read as it was. Overall, L.P. Dover did a fantastic job with Going for the Hole, scoring a 4.5-star rating. ♥

Saved (Battles #2) by Hazel James Release Date: June 21, 2018 About Saved Leilani Moretti Life is out to get me.  Humvee accident that took my right hand? Strike one.  Cancer three years later that stole my breasts and hair? Strike two.  An overbearing mother who seems to think I’m twelve, not twenty-seven?  Yeah, I’m out of there.  I thought moving to Oklahoma would give me a fresh start. I hoped life would finally cut me some damn slack. But between the inept people at the VA hospital and a boss who’s hell-bent on fixing me, I just want to be left alone. Haven’t I been through enough already? Clay Prescott Joining the Army and deploying to Afghanistan? Hard. Kicking an alcohol addiction and starting a business combining fitness and mental health? Harder. Worth it? Hell yes.  Battles, my gym, has been so successful that I hired a new employee—a veteran herself—to help me open a second location. And that’s when it all goes to hell. Everything

Review: The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan (Roommates #1)

Note: This ARC was provided by the author via InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review. I do believe I've found myself a new book boyfriend to drool, erm, swoon over in Cannon Roth, male main character in bestselling author Kendall Ryan's Roommates series starter, The Room Mate . This had a familiar romance trope--falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling--and yet I didn't find it boring or tiresome in any way. This has both heart and heat as well as lighthearted humor along with a bit of heart-tugging angst and it's headlined by a couple of main characters that I was totally smitten with from the moment Paige got a pretty good idea of just how much her best friend's younger brother Cannon had grown up from the nerdy boy who followed them around like a puppy when they were kids. Bonus points for Paige being older and for the four-legged, furball named Enchilada.  When twenty-eight-year-old Paige took the call from her best friend asking if her yo
