REVIEW - SCORING THE BIRDIE by CR Riley


Ava has just landed in Hawaii for a forced vacation.  She has been put on probation again for refusing to follow orders.  

Ava grew up in sports.  Her father was a pro football player and her four brothers are all famous in their professional sports careers, but being a woman those jobs were denied her so she did the next best thing.  She became a sports publicist.  If she couldn't play she could help players clean up their act and realize that their bad boy actions reflect badly on their careers.

She was three years into her four-year non-compete contract and she should have killed her younger self for signing with Crenshaw & Hibbard.  Lyle Crenshaw has made her life an absolute nightmare by using his power to try to intimidate her into using sexual favors as a service for their clients.  After her first encounter with him and his suggestion and his advances to her, she was given a week's probation.

When she returned she recorded all meetings stating it was to make sure she didn't miss any details and make her a better employee.  They knew what the recordings were really for.  Then they found out she was suggesting the other females do the same and here she is...required to use all her accumulated vacation time while being investigated.

She was determined to use this time in Hawaii to relieve her stress and figure out a way to take them down without ruining her career.  One of her brother's agents Jasmine had suggested this guesthouse on the private side of the island.  She was in paradise.

Shay was a professional golfer at the top of the leader boards and a fan favorite.  It was the end of the golf season and he decided to head to his home in Hawaii.  He would usually head to Atlanta, but his father died earlier this year and he didn't think he could handle being alone in the house he grew up in.  

He was a teenager when he and his friends snuck onto a golf course and started fooling around.  He had stolen a bag of clubs and was having the time of his life.  One of the professional golfers playing in a group behind the kids noticed Shay outshooting everyone he was invited to play.  When he pulled Shay aside later, he found out that not only was he one of the top players on tour, but the clubs he stole belonged to him.  But he made Shay a deal to show up and learn the game and the clubs were his.

While he was learning the game he gave golf lessons which is how he met his wife.  An ex-wife who lied and said she was pregnant to get away from her controlling father.  Took him five years to be financially secure enough to be rid of her and then he became a player on and off the field.  Until Jasmine got a hold of him.  Now his focus is on his game and off women.

Until he goes to check on Jasmine who requested his guesthouse for a month.  What he finds instead is a gorgeous woman in a skimpy bikini screaming and practically jumping into his arms away from a Cane Spider on the patio.

I loved this book!  It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and totally relatable.  Ava and Shay's story is my favorite in this series.  This book is romantic and sexy.  Ava is trying to overcome not only issues in her chosen profession but is also holding insecurities since college from unwanted advances from her coach.

Shay is a reformed playboy determined to show Ava that he's worth the chance.  This book is action-packed from beginning to end.  Once you pick it up you won't be able to put the book down.  Shay and his antics will keep you laughing, but Ava gives as good as she gets.  It is full of sexual chemistry and smoking hot.  If you haven't read CR Riley you definitely need to add this author to your one-click list.
