Resumen del Editor

Lincoln Reeves may be a pro golfer and revered swing coach, but when I met him, he was just one more person telling me I wasn’t good enough. So, I did what any girl in my position would do. I told him to get lost and take his arrogant, annoying smirk with him.

I never expected to see him again. I certainly didn’t expect to run into him that same night after one too many tequila shots. Turns out that he’s kind of a big deal. Okay, fine, a really big deal. In fact, he might be the one person that can take my game to the next level.

Convincing him to help will be difficult. Not throwing my club at his handsome face when he makes me work harder than I thought humanly possible will be excruciating. But not falling for him will be the hardest thing of all.

Valley U World!

Sweet Spot (A College Sports Romance) is a character-driven love story told in dual pov. A bit of a age gap, enemies to lovers romance with a coach/ student relationship. I love how this is surrounded around golf as I haven't heard/read any sports romance involving golf. I found the characters engaging and likeable. I loved Lincoln, his grandmother is a funster. I loved the golf references and found the powwow interesting. A entertaining listen with cute banter between Kiera and Lincoln.

Narrators Erin Mallon, Jacob Morgan were fun to listen to. I love Jacob Morgan's inflection and Erin Mallon is always great with romantic comedy. Her spunkiness is brought out in the character of Keira. Absolutely loved the narration.

A cute slow burn

I wasn’t sure what to expect listening to a book about a girl on her college golf team and a grumpy swing coach but holy smokes I was blown away. Going back to Valley U we meet Kiera who is on the golf team and Lincoln who we met in The Fake. Lincoln is so grumpy and somehow Kiera breaks down his barriers even barriers he didn’t realize she’d demolished. Kiera is such a confident and feisty junior in college and on the golf team. Her golf coach doesn’t want to help her so enter Lincoln who as owner of Reeves Sports ends up with Kiera as a client to up her golf game. As it turns out the swing coach and the golfer click more than as coach and client. This book can be read as a stand-alone but there are some people from Valley U mentioned or making appearances in this book.
Erin Mallon and Jacob Morgan brought this book to life in the best way!

Sports Rom Com

This is an ARC review. All opinions are solely my own.

Sweet Spot by Rebecca Jenshak is a funny & sweet rom com centered around golf. I was excited for this listen because I don’t think I’ve ever read about golf before. It was very entertaining.

I liked the age gap aspect of the book because Keira seems more mature than her very early 20’s.

I’ve listened to several books by both Erin Mallon and Jacob Morgan before. They are awesome narrators. I’m not sure why but their cadence seemed off. I was changing my listening speed when they switched point of view. For some reason I had to speed up for Jacob’s parts and then slow back down for Erin.

I had never read Rebecca Jenshak before but I’m definitely a fan now.

4.5 stars really!

While I’m not really the biggest fan of older man romances, because I prefer younger men myself, I really did like this story a lot. I classified it as New Adult, because Keira is in college, even if Lincoln is not. The story was sweet, and definitely kept my interest. It took me longer than normal because of the lack of driving places these days, and me really only listening to audiobooks while in the car. I did love both of the narrators though, they did a great job. And I loved Lincoln’s grandma. I’m also hoping there is a book for Lincoln’s brother as well. We’ll see!

Awesome narration

I love these narrators. I’ll buy any audible if they are narrating, and I loved this book. What a great story. Definitely worth the purchase.

Golf is Boring

This is the first I’ve listened to a book written by Rebecca Jenshak. The main reason I chose it is I saw it was narrated by Jacob Morgan (Zachary Webber) and I’ll listen to about any audiobook in which he performs it. That man could make the dictionary sound good. 😂

That being said, I only liked this book, but did not love it. I thought the concept was good, but I was a little bored. It’s probably because I think golf is a boring sport anyway. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Caution will lead to the YouTube rabbit hole

I know nothing about golf but the way Rebecca writes everything in this you’ll feel like an expert. Plus you get to revisit one of your favorite schools but I warn you you’ll be on YouTube watching trick shots for hours

Loved this one!!!

Loved everything about this story. It was absolutely breath taking. It went at the perfect pace. The narration was excellent of course I love everything about Jacob and Erin "swoon".. Can't wait to listen again!! 5 excellent stars!!

Golf Sports Romance!

In golf, the sweet spot is the center of the clubface, which will produce the longest shot from any given club, so it’s that Rebecca Jenshak’s Sweet Shot is a sports romance about the game of golf with the heroine, Keira, a Valley U golfer, and the hero, Lincoln, a pro golfer and elite swing coach.

What I enjoyed the most about Keira and Lincoln’s story is how their mutual love of the game of golf built a connection between them from their first interaction, and while they definitely were attracted to each other from the start, as well, the dynamics of their coach/player relationship and Lincoln’s focus on helping improve Keira’s game above anything personal is what allowed them to get to know one another, establishing a foundation that blossomed into so much more.

I listened to the audio version of Sweet Spot, and Erin Mallon and Jacob Morgan did an amazing job narrating Keira and Lincoln’s story. There’s a playfulness between the two characters that the narrators easily convey and the way they verbally spar with one another plays out quite well on the audio.

I would definitely recommend Jenshak’s sports romances as well as any other stories narrated by Mallon and Morgan.

4 Poison Apples

Jacob Morgan and Erin Mallon enough said

Well pretty much anything these two narrate is going to be amazing. They could make a bad book interesting. That being said The Sweet Spot is and excellent with great characters and an awesome story.

A different spin in the normal sports romance. Keira is a 21 college golf player looking to improve her game. Lincoln is a 30 year old Golf Pro swing coach he is instantly enamored with the spunky college student and despite their age gap they click together immediately.

The audio is a must have companion to this book, again same reason Jacob Morgan and Erin Mallon who really elevate this story even more.
