Fasten your seatbelts for a rollicking ride with more twists and turns than a bowl of pretzels. L.A.'s historic Bellstone Country Club is famous for its star-studded membership, championship golf course, and glamorous parties. Here, sexy golfer Mandy Manville is expected to win the club's Women's Golf Championship, which will qualify her to tee it up with legendary golfers in Scotland's Cialis Open. But when ex-college star golfer Jody Benson joins the club, Mandy's beautifully manicured nails become claws as she stops at nothing to keep the newcomer from entering the tournament. Meanwhile, the Bellstone president's bet on an upcoming heavyweight fight could cause an already struggling club to go bust. Add in a corrupt priest with a free membership, a down-and-out ex-movie star working as a caddy, an LAPD cop on the take, a pregnant stripper on the hunt for her baby's daddy, and you'll find yourself laughing, hooting, booing, cheering, and maybe even taking up golf!… (meer)

“Love was out to get me. That’s the way it seems. Disappointment haunted all my dreams.”

With a quirky/shady cast of characters creating shenanigans amidst the highly distinguished game of golf, this is satire at it’s finest. It reminded me of the screwball comedies I watched in the 80’s and 90’s. It had mystery, drama and a ton of giggle worthy moments. (

I truly did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. Fore Play (I love the puns!) is a well written dark comedy, a satirical tale, moody, clever and witty. Linda Sheehan has written brilliant, ebullient characters whose shenanigans are sure to make you both roll your eyes and chuckle.

The story unfolds at the prestigious Bellstone Country Club in California, where the creme de la creme are encouraged to be a part of - and the more the rich and the famous bring themselves to this place, the more convoluted and morally questionable the place and it’s activities become. Amongst all this is our protagonist Jody who was a college pro and is legacy as her grand dad was part of the country club. As the powers that be of the country club work to restore it to its former glory, the antics of its patrons are sure to make you laugh. This one is rollicking good fun! LOVED IT! (

LOVED THIS BOOK! I went from feeling sorry for Angie a poor teased little girl, forced to endure teasing and taunts of her classmates, as she stood outside of her only friend's birthday party with no invitation. I loved Jody Benson, who had class, but I hated Derrick, her womanizing, a HOUND DOG husband! As they say once a cheater always a cheater and I felt sorry for Jody for being so trusting. Jody had quit playing golf when her grandfather died while he caddied for her and she knew that it was her fault to let him. I didn't like Amanda when she lied, cheated her way to nine tournament wins at the country club. With playing for the at the club every knew that she win and her name already on it. (

This book is a look into a comedic golf club. Several parts will make you laugh out loud. But there is also theft and cheating. All while the ladies champion tries to win for the 10th time.

I was given this advanced copy for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily. (
