All Fore Love: A Sun Valley Love on Vacation Story by Kellie Coates Gilbert - Reviewed





About the book:

Ryan Banderman’s golf career is soaring until a scandal sends him plummeting to the bottom of the leader board. To resurrect his reputation and get back in the good graces of his sponsors, he agrees to participate in a charity golf tournament in Sun Valley, Idaho. There, he meets Beth Michaels, a fledgling publicist with career aspirations of her own.
From the first moment Ryan and Beth meet, intense sparks of attraction fly. But will a mean-spirited reporter ruin their chance for love, and send both their lives up in flames?

My Thoughts:

This series of Ms. Gilbert's set in Sun Valley, Idaho, which is just a mere two hours away from where I live makes it quite difficult to stay here in the Treasure Valley, especially when reading this series.

Her latest release, All Fore Love, which is a Sun Valley Vacation story, centers around a golf tournament to benefit foster kids. I am a huge fan of kids in a story, they add both innocence and unexpected fun to the overall story, and Nicholas does just that.

In this particular novella the only difficulty I had while reading was the golf lingo, I don't watch golf, it's like watching paint dry. I found myself searching Google to understand it. That doesn't detract from the over all story, it just added a different element. 

The writing is crisp, heartfelt, charming, and picturesque. Ms. Gilbert's books are what I would call romantic comedies, with a definite inspirational thread, not religious, more of a moral one. I laugh, cry, want to throw the book against the wall at times, but I can't stop reading. 

This is a quick read, just about a hundred pages or so and a great mini vacation to Sun Valley, Idaho.
