Big Shots: Book 1
Publication Date: February 13, 2024
#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey launches a super sexy sports romance duology 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?
Josephine Doyle cheers for golfer Wells Whitaker through thick and thin, even as his rankings tank and his behavior off the green leaves plenty to be desired.
Author Tessa Bailey once again delivers a side-splitting romantic comedy with a heavy dose of heat in Fangirl Down.
The characters, with their explosive interactions, make the story one to remember. In fact, this marks the first book I’ve read that features a main character dealing with Type I diabetes. I love how the author incorporates it into Josephine’s character in such a positive way.
Wells serves as the perfect bad boy who has lost his spark. At the risk of losing everything he has achieved, he resists Josephine’s initial attempts to encourage him. When she finds a crack in his hardened exterior, the sparks start flying. As a side note, the author‘s exceptionally written sexy scenes will leave readers hot and bothered.
Torn between being Whitaker’s good luck charm on tour and rebuilding her family’s golf pro shop, Josephine learns that love is a strong motivator, especially for someone who has grown attached to his top fan.
Fangirl Down not only sheds light on a professional golf tour, but it leaves readers feeling invested in the characters. Once again, Tessa Bailey pours on the heat while delivering a satisfying story.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey can solve all problems except for her own, so she focuses those efforts on stubborn, fictional blue-collar men and loyal, lovable heroines. She lives on Long Island avoiding the sun and social interactions, then wonders why no one has called. Dubbed the “Michelangelo of dirty talk,” by Entertainment Weekly, Tessa writes with spice, spirit, swoon and a guaranteed happily ever after.
