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.

“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?”

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?”

“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.”

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.”

I batted my eyelashes in an innocent matter. “Good luck with that.”

**** MY REVIEW ****

Going for the Hole by L.P. Dover is a funny, sexy, lighthearted read.  Lucas and Ashley make the perfect couple even when they weren’t trying to be. Lucas Montgomery is a successful professional golfer and is all about his “balls”. Yet Lucas is ready for some time off from golfing and just taking some time to relax. Dr. Ashley Locke is very serious woman and dedicated to her job but her brother is getting married so she goes to watch him get married. I mean, Ashley is all work and no play. Ashley and Lucas meet in a resort in Myrtle Beach when Ashley is preparing for her brother's wedding and Lucas just wants a break from the pro golf limelight. These two have intense chemistry – they literally drew sparks off one another, which is how deep their chemistry is to one another. Ashley and Harper make for perfect BFFs in this story and wow, their hijinks are insanely funny. Lucas at first was someone I totally disliked but he ended up redeeming himself. Add his best friend Noah and Lucas’s brother Aiden and wow, some sexy hot men. The connection was strong between Lucas and Ashley. There was several twists in the story that keeps the story hopping. Will Lucas and Ashley make it past one night and if so, can they have HEA or will this all crumble and be just a dream? This was a phenomenal read, full of witty banter, heat, angst, passion, humor and love.

My Rating:  4.5 stars *****
