Lately, I’m more in the mood to read light, funny and sweet (but still steamy) romance stories and this story ‘Fangirl down’ contained the three elements. I really enjoyed it. It took me a little while to really get into the story but once I did, I was hooked.

Every sport has a bad boy, a player who is grumpy, hot-tempered but also very talented and in golf, Wells Whitaker is that bad boy. A 29 year old tattooed, handsome looking man, who’s the darling of the public or at least Wells was all that, until he lost his touch a few years ago and started playing very bad. They all abandoned him one by one, his mentor, his agent and his fans. Except for one person, Josephine Doyle, his number one fan. No matter how bad he plays, she’s there to cheer him on. The only reason he’s still trying is because of her. But one day Wells has had enough and quits, losing the support of the only person who still believed in him, Josephine (or Belle as she called herself). But when Wells discovers weeks later that a hurricane has destroyed Josephine’s family business and that she’s in financial trouble, Wells shows that there’s still good in him. Because Wells makes Josephine a proposal, Wells will try one last time on the golf course and Josephine will be there again, but this time as his caddie! Josephine accepts and so begin a new adventures for both of them. Wells must return to a sport that he once loved but now hates and Josephine will now support him not as a fan, but as his caddie. Can Josephine help Wells find his love for golf again and what about the chemistry between them? Can Wells convince his superfan to not only be his caddy but also his girlfriend? That he’s worth it, even if he doesn’t believe it himself. Let the games begin!

I really enjoyed this story and I’m glad that we got both POV’s. The main characters Wells and Josephine couldn’t have been more different from each other. Wells was a broody, grumpy, anti-social, short-tempered and bitter man. He had his reasons for it, but still. Josephine was a friendly, positive, sunny, loyal and intelligent woman. She remained loyal to Wells in good and bad times. I loved that about her. (I think everyone needs someone like Josephine in their lives.) And as Wells’s caddy, Josephine did also a very good job, she wasn’t afraid to point out when he was doing something wrong and in her own way she put him on his place. She pushed him to do better and she was very insightful in his character and in golf.

In his own way Wells also cared for Josephine, she was the reason he still played golf, even though he played very bad, in his own way he was also loyal to his Belle (his biggest fan). Josephine had diabetic, which made her parents very protective of her, both as a child and now as an adult woman. Josephine understood their worries but she wanted to live as a ‘normal’ person and Wells understood that. He also had concerns about her health but he found the perfect balance to care for Josephine without suffocating her. He understood that she needed her freedom to take care for herself. He treated her like someone strong and capable. Josephine liked that very much. Josephine was a very good influence on Wells, he was still grumpy and anti-social but he was trying to be better and I really liked the change. The chemistry between them was hot and there were some steamy sex scenes in the story. The batter between them was funny. There were several funny scenes in the story.

For someone (like me) unfamiliar with the sport golf, there was just enough golf talk (or golf playing) to make it interesting, but not so much that the story lost my interest. I really liked the balance between the romance and sports.

The secondary characters were great too, there were Josephine’s parents and her best friend Tallulah, Wells’s ex-mentor and other golfers and their caddies and then there was his only friend Burgess (a hockey player). Burgess had the same character traits as Wells, grumpy and not social.

I really enjoyed this story and I’m looking forward to the next book about Josephine’s best friend Tallulah and Wells’s friend Burgess.
