Nicole is a new to me author, so I'm, once again starting in the middle of a series. My anxiety hates that, but I loved this book. Now, I come from a sports family, my siblings and I have done everything from football, baseball, and soccer to lacrosse, dancing, MMA and Brazilian jiu jitsu. We were all in competitive marching band. We watch hockey and rugby and cricket and horseback riding and NASCAR. But golf has somehow never been a thing in this household? I didn't think a golf romance would have me hooked but did! There was enough golf to keep it interesting, but not so much that it made things confusing for a newbie like me to read through.
I love a second chance romance, and this one was done right. It felt more grown. And given that the MC's are 28 and 40, it's a breath of fresh air that there isn't a bunch of unnecessary miscommunication between them. Clinton always knew that Paloma was the one for him, and he let her know that from the beginning. He was there to help her work through all her hang-ups around letting herself be loved after childhood parental trauma.
