Gia Stone brings us a unique story, iv never read a romance book with golf involved but heck after reading this book it makes me want to take it up myself if i had a sexy instructor who is built like a god teach me.The plot was great it had just enough to keep you guessing.
Brooke wow so her boss yes he is an idiot but coming hear its helped her open up her true sexy self and to charm the pants literally of Alec :) i did so love the beginning intimate scene soo smexy. Brooke's boss Omg what a complete ogre iv got other words as well for him, he made me want to go through the book and smack him silly .....
Alec he is handsome and o so sexy he's teaching Brooke how to play golf and the little minx is teasing him at every moment and way she can " Go Brooke " when he finally gives in and all his rules are out of the window. Alec has an air about him right from the beginning, yes i did catch on half way through why he had that certain something about him, I smiled when it was finally reviled and i new i was right about his secret.
A Great book you will love Brook and Alec’s developing relationship as well as there Happily Ever After, i look forward to reading more from Gia.

**Book given in exchange for an honest review**
"She wished she could be like the ball, free to go and do whatever she wanted. Brooke wanted to fly as high as her ball. To be taken to that thrilling level on or off the course."
I love short little reads, especially dirty ones that can be read in the bathtub ;) The blurb on this one intrigued me...it was definitely hot!
"If she didn't know better she would think he wanted to write her a ticket. Those police officer blues of his had Brooke pulled over on the side of the road and ready for a strip search."
There was lots of game play between the two characters that drove me a little crazy...I dislike when they can't just talk to each other about how they feel and what's going on. Also a lot of jumping back and forth in dialogue between her head and his head...but other than that i enjoyed it!
"Their wordless exchanges were stronger than any sonnet could foretell."

What a great story! This is almost like a Cinderella story, only sexier. This is a sweet and sexy hot romance (not too sexy though). Gia Stone still leaves plenty for the imagination. Lots of drama and an anything that can go wrong does kind of trip for Brooke. I really enjoyed listening to this audio book! Definitely worth a 2nd and even a 3rd listen.
The author, Gia Stone does a great job getting her story out to us. With romance blossoming in the strangest places, Gia keeps us entertained. The emotions in the story are great too. At one point, I started to tear up with Brooke. The narrator, Hollie Jackson does a superb delivery to us with lots of emotions entwined in her delivery. Very good job and very believable too!

Wow. If you're not into the hot, steamy, seductive stories, just skip this review. If you are, hell, skip the review and go buy the book.
At 32K words, Gia Stone's debut, The Back Nine, is all of the above and more. I say this a lot, but I was held from the beginning. The double entendre that started the story made me laugh and I couldn't wait to see how many more Gia was able to include! She definitely hit a hole in one with this one. *snort* Pun very intended. I almost want to learn how to play golf now. Almost. I'm 100% not a sports person (go sports!). But I definitely don't mind reading about them now!
Gia darling, I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve next! Send me a sneak peak!! <3

Erotic golf..... Hmm, I'll look at a golf course the same again!
This short (but not sweet) little novella was a fun read. Light on plot but heavy on smut, listening to the audiobook definitely made hanging out the washing a more interesting chore!
The narrator spoke clearly and at a good pace. She was well suited to the book and able to provide different character voices that didn't sound like caricatures.
I received this audiobook free because I smiled sweetly and batted my eyelashes at the author. I'm posting an honest review, because that's just what I do.

This was a fun read. The story is very hot and sexy and pleasantly explicit. I liked Brooke and how she was seducing Alec to have sex with her right on a golf course, and that scene of them having sex in a golf cart was scrumptious to say the least. I also enjoyed reading about Brook and Alec’s developing relationship - they liked having sex with each other, but wondered if there was more to their romance. All in all, very steamy and satisfying.
