Fangirl Down by Tessa Bailey | Book Review

#1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey launches a super sexy sports romance series with a rom-com about a bad boy professional athlete who falls for his biggest fan…

Wells Whitaker was once golf’s hottest rising star, but lately, all he has to show for his “promising” career is a killer hangover, a collection of broken clubs, and one remaining supporter. No matter how bad he plays, the beautiful, sunny redhead is always on the sidelines. He curses, she cheers. He scowls, she smiles. But when Wells quits in a blaze of glory and his fangirl finally goes home, he knows he made the greatest mistake of his life.

Josephine Doyle believed in the gorgeous, grumpy golfer, even when he didn’t believe in himself. Yet after he throws in the towel, she begins to wonder if her faith was misplaced. Then a determined Wells shows up at her door with a wild proposal: be his new caddy, help him turn his game around, and split the prize money. And considering Josephine’s professional and personal life is in shambles, she could really use the cash…

As they travel together, spending days on the green and nights in neighboring hotel rooms, sparks fly. Before long, they’re inseparable, Wells starts winning again, and Josephine is surprised to find a sweet, thoughtful guy underneath his gruff, growly exterior. This hot man wants to brush her hair, feed her snacks, and take bubble baths together? Is this real life? But Wells is technically her boss and an athlete falling for his fangirl would be ridiculous… right?

“Fangirl Down” by Tessa Bailey is a contemporary sports romance that follows Wells Whitaker, a former rising star in golf, whose career has hit a low point. Josephine Doyle, his very devoted fan, has always believed in him– maybe she is the only one that still believes in him. Struggling with her own challenges, including the destruction of her family’s golf shop by a hurricane and her battle with diabetes, Josephine is taken aback when Wells appears at her doorstep with an unusual proposal. He asks her to become his new caddy, promising that they will split the prize money from his tournament wins to help rebuild her family’s golf shop business.

This book was such a fan read. It’s been a while since I read a Tessa Bailey book, the last book of hers that I finished was Hook, Line, and Sinker and I rated that book 5 stars, so you could say I already had some expectations going into this book. The much loved opposites attract is the focal trope– the contrast between Wells’ grumpiness and Josephine’s sunny personality creates that really addicting dynamic that we all love to witness. There’s good banter, humour, and tension that all leads to the build up of their relationship.

Despite not being much of a golf fan myself (I usually read football and hockey romances lol), I still found myself enjoying the sport-related elements– the terminology, the golf tournament scenes etc. I did find myself enjoying the first half of the book a lot more than the second half. Maybe because I enjoyed the build up of tension between them more than when the characters actually got together, and if you enjoy spice in romance, then this book will not leave you hanging for sure. Spice scenes are detailed (in dialogue and description lol), and it did start to feel a bit like it was written for then sake of upping the page count. One thing I didi like in the later part of the book is the fact that we did not have to sit through a miscommunication trope.

Small miracles.

4 stars.

Rating: 4 out of 5.
