The blurb:

I’ve had my eye on him since we were teenagers.
I even managed to kiss him once.
But once wasn’t enough.
He stars in every one of my dirty fantasies.
Now it’s time for my dreams to come true.
He’s smart, sexy, and gorgeous, and currently single.
When I hear he’s in a position to act as my caddie for a week,
I decide to bite the bullet and jump on him. I mean it.
Who am I kidding?
I have one week to blow his mind and other things too.
I can only hope my heart survives every one of our heated encounters and that he gets hooked before I do.

What I thought:

I was a little undecided about this book. From the blurb, I was expecting an angst-filled story where out of work investment banker Mark caddied for golf superstar Riley, and at the end of it all, they ended up together. So, I was a little surprised when the two main characters ended up in bed by the end of the first chapter. And it wasn’t a drunken, mistaken romp either—no, they genuinely liked each other. I couldn’t help wondering where the conflict was going to come from.

But I liked the characters, and the premise of the story—the girl being the sporting superstar pursued by the guy—felt different enough to be interesting, so I read on. And I did enjoy the book—it’s well written and the characters are nicely developed. But although there were some moments with an ex-boyfriend and the coach, whose intentions didn’t become clear for most of the story, it didn’t give me that emotional rollercoaster ride I usually like from a romance.
