About this ebook

 

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 her heart.

Ratings and reviews

3.75 stars--GOING FOR THE HOLE by LP Dover is a stand alone, romance story line focusing on professional golfer Lucas ‘Ace’ Montgomery, and physician Dr. Ashley Locke. There is a slight cross-over with the author’s BREAKAWAY series byway of a couple of cameo appearances, and the mention of the Charlotte Strikers. Told from dual first person perspectives (Lucas and Ashley) GOING FOR THE HOLE follows the building relationship between professional golfer Lucas ‘Ace’ Montgomery, and physician Dr. Ashley Locke. Needing some down time, away from the grind of the PGA tour Lucas Montgomery, his brother and caddie Aiden, and best friend Noah Bradfield booked some R&R in Myrtle Beach, R&R that would change each of their futures, for the better. Enter Dr. Ashley Locke, in town for her brother’s fiancee’s bachelorette weekend, and the woman with whom Lucas would fall in love. What ensues is the quick building relationship and romance between Lucas and Ashley, and the potential fall-out as Ashley is confronted by a perceived betrayal. Dr.Ashley Locke has no idea that the man with whom she will fall in love is a successful and professional golfer; a manwh*re by reputation, and a media target both on and off of the green. Struggling to let Lucas into her heart, Ashley is ever vigilant of the possible ramifications of media exposure on her career and that of her family practice. Lucas Montgomery knows he has found his happily ever after but not everything goes according to plan when a private conversation becomes fodder for the paparazzi and a struggling journalist. The relationship between Ashley and Lucas begins as a one-night stand but Lucas wants more than Ashley is willing to give. Hoping to convince Ashley take a chance, Lucas begins a slow seduction of our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are passionate and intimate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. We are introduced to Ashley’s best friend Harper Welch who has caught the eye of Noah Bradfield: and Aiden Montgomery who finds himself attracted to a woman who could possibly betray them all. GOING FOR THE HOLE is a delightful, realistic and spirited story line. The premise is energetic and satisfying; the characters are sassy, enthusiastic and animated; the romance is seductive and hot. GOING FOR THE HOLE is a captivating and engaging tale.

I thought the blurb was hilarious but it only showed about half of what this book is.... Funny, swoony, and packed full of heat. From the second Lucas and Ashley met, there were all the sparks. I loved Ashley and her friends. As a big fan of the Second Chances series, I loved the cameos from some of my faves from those books. This book takes place over a pretty short period of time so I was impressed (and a little bit in disbelief) of Lucas' complete 180 from can't be tied down ladies' man to all-in, let's see where this goes boyfriend. This book is hilarious and mostly light on the drama. I would love to see the stories of the other characters in this book!! *This is my voluntary review of an advanced reader copy*

5 LOVE THIS STORY STARS!! Love, Love, Love this story so much, I want to give it more than 5 stars. I read this book in one sitting and it was perfection. This author gives us a new and refreshing sports romance that has you wanting more. Lucas and Ashley's story is sexy, fun, competitive, sweet and loving. If you are looking for the perfect summer read, here you go. Do yourself a favor and 1-click this book.
