First of all, thanks to Harlequin Australia for providing me a copy of this book via NetGalley.

Second, here's my opinion: LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book so much!!!
I always love reading stories or watching movies where the main characters are good in doing sports, and especially about a girl doing guy's sport. I remembered how I love Katie Campbell from Girl Talk series by L.E. Blair because she joined the boy hockey team. Jordan Woods from Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally also became one of my favorite heroine easily thanks to her fierceness as a captain in a boy football team. And now, I met Fred Oday. She's my new favorite girl.

Fred Oday seemed like an ordinary girl. She was shy and lack of confidence. She loved reading. She was invisible. But once she grabbed her golf club, she transformed into a fierce and full of confidence golfer. Fred's journey in golf wasn't easy. She's poor and Indian. No one ever thought that an Indian could have great talent in golf because Indians don't play golf. But Fred only needed a father who worked as a groundskeeper in Ahwatukee Golf Club and a bit opportunity to train to make her brilliant in golf. She was so talented and determined.

When her talent was finally recognized by the school coach and she was invited to join the team, Fred saw it as her opportunity to go out from the future predicted by her drunken mother-working as a full time waitress in a restaurant. But her road wasn't easy. All of her teammates especially Ryan Berenger hated her. Ryan had a good excuse to hate her. Fred made his best friends, Seth, kicked from the team. But that didn't last long. After their first game, Ryan realized that Fred was really talented and he fell in love with her. And things got more complicated. No one agreed with Ryan being together with this Indian girl, especially Seth. Ryan was threatened to loose his friends if he kept hanging out with Fred. And bad things simultaneously happened to Fred.

Can Fred survive and pursue her dream?

Abby Abernathy seems like a nice and innocent girl, no one including herself would believe that she would be in The Circle that day to watch the campus' illegal ring fight. But there she was, and then, she met Travis "Mad Dog" Maddox, one of the strongest fighter, and also a guy she must avoid the most. After that, Abby's life would never be the same again.

Travis Maddox was the campus' notorious bad boy. Unstable emotion, unbeatable, and also known as a Walking One-Night-Stand. Every guy afraid of Travis and every girl wanted to sleep with him. But when he met Abby, he knew that only Abby could fulfil his thirst for his whole life. Travis was fallen in love for the first time with Abby and he would try the hardest to get Abby in his hand.

A small bet between Travis and Abby led Abby to live in Travis' apartment for a month. As they spent time together, their relationship grew. In a rough and romantic way.

Were they really meant for each other? Or was their love story a complete disaster?

What the novel is about...

First of all, let me explain that I got this novel from NetGalley and I requested it without knowing that this is the last book of The Scandalous Women of the Ton series. Since I haven't read any of the previous book, I want to tell the story based on what I got after reading this book only.

Margery Mallon, the maid, had never expected that she would be the long lost heiress of Templemore, the richest family in England. When she was a child, her mother was killed and she was abducted. Now, she stayed with her adoptive family and working at Lady Grant's house. Henry Wardeaux, the former heir of Templemore, was a very determined gentleman and he had decided that he would help Margery to adapt with her new life. But the chemistry soon became too strong to resist for him and Margery. At first, Margery and Henry always fought but in the end, they couldn't refused that they had fallen in love with each other. However, Henry didn't think it was appropriate for him to marry Margery as people would see him as a golddigger.

After Margery's arrival on the Templemore castle, many weird accidents started to happen to Margery. Were these accidents related to Margery's past? Did someone try to get rid of Margery one more time?

Funny incident caused by Aunt Will's Lovesick Cure, brought Jesse to meet Piney Baxley, a local physician's assistant, who apparently was the former Aunt Will's Lovesick Cure user too. Piney was a single father whose son, Tree, hooked up with Jesse's relative, Camryn. Jesse, then, had an affair with Piney.

Jesse never expected before that living in a small town could be this interesting. But what would Jesse do next, after she found out that her heart had already cured? Would she stay or go to her real life?
