Grip it softly.
Stroke it smooth.
And you’ll sink right into the hole. That’s my motto both on
and off the golf course. The women come in full supply everywhere I go and
there are no complaints. Maybe it’s the size of my driver that gets them going.

I’m Lucas “Ace” Montgomery, professional golfer and world
record holder for the longest drive in golf history. The PGA Tour has been my
life, but it’s time for a break. A few relaxing weeks of drinking and golf with
friends in Myrtle Beach is what I need. However, when a bright pink ball knocks
me out on the course, and a blonde beauty comes to my aid, I expect to see a
gallery girl, a.k.a a member of the Party Groupie Association. Trust me, those
girls know how to have fun. Although, to my surprise, it’s not what I get at
all.

Dr. Ashley Locke is beautiful and everything I’d want if I
was ever to get serious about someone. Unfortunately, she has no interest in me
whatsoever which only makes me want her more. All she wants is to get through
her friend’s bachelorette weekend and go back to her life, but after injuring
me on the course, I’m not letting her run away so easily. When I want
something, I get it.

I’m not competing for money this time. All I want is to win

Excerpt
“When can I see you again?”
I shook my head. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
“I took a needle in the ass for you. Surely, that deserves
more of your attention?”
more of your attention?”
Why did he always have to give me that devilish smile of
his? As much as I wanted to hate it, I couldn’t.“Why are you doing this? Can’t
you find someone else?”

you find someone else?”
“Of course I can, but I want you. We can have secret
meetings in here if you’re still embarrassed to be seen in public with me.”

I rolled my eyes. “I’m not embarrassed. You’re you, and
I’m a respectable member of society.”
I’m a respectable member of society.”
He burst out laughing. “Okay, I see how it is.”
“I just don’t want the publicity,” I added. “You can
understand that, right? You of all people should know what it’s like not to
have privacy.”

His smile faded. “You’re right, I do, but it’s my life. I
can’t change who I am.” My body shivered with the intensity of his stare. “For
once, I thought I’d found someone who wanted me for me and not my money or
fame.”

Guilt racked my body and I sighed. “Okay, I give in. I can
see you tomorrow, after I get out of the spa. Maybe we can order in room
service.”

Eyes twinkling, he went over to the door and opened it. “Now
that’s a plan I can get behind.”

Before I could walk out, he stood in
my way, body close to mine. “I’m going to break through that ice wall of yours,
sunshine. One way or another.”

OUR REVIEW:
“Finding love while on vacation, 5 stars”
Dover has a way with making her readers fall in love with the characters right off the bat. Every single one brings something new to the table. Lucas and Ashley do just that. I laughed during Going for the Hole and at times cringed. I was engaged the whole time and devoured it in one sitting. If you’re looking for a fun romance with a side of sports look no further.
Lucas golfs in the PGA and is finally starting to feel the burn, and not the good kind. The kind where you start to feel like the tournaments are work and your not having any fun. That’s why he decided to make a change and go on vacation with his brother and best friend. what he didn’t expect was to find Ashley. Will he get the girl or will something derail his game?
Ashley is all work and no play. But her future sister-in-laws bachelorette party proves to be the perfect kind of play. Especially when she meets Lucas. She only plans on one night, but she gets a whole lot more. Will her best laid plans and reputation come burning down because of Lucas? Or will he prove to be the best thing that ever happened to her?
These two were the best sort of opposites. Lucas reminded Ashley what it was like to have fun and take risks and she proved to him that serious and settled down were in his wheel house of possibilities. Basically, right off the bat after these two met they were serious. It was kind of insta-love but one that they made wait to come to complete fruitation at the end. I loved these two’s journey and hope to get another sneak peek later.
